  Not most, they do keep tiny thumbnails though.

  Servers can:

  • Proxy images
  • Save them locally
  • just link to them.

  Most do the latter as its cheaper.

    Interesting, thanks! I did not realize that.

    What do you mean to edit your top posts to an archived version?

      I sorted by top of all time on my profile, uploaded the images to another site, and hotlinked them in the post.

      For any people in the future.
