What image hosting sites do you use and why?
Recently http://Min.us was created and is in direct competition with http://imgur.com.
Some of the more popular image hosting sites:
Most of the time I use SmugMug for my photos and Imgur for quick web posts. SmugMug is great for hosting unlimited full sized images and sharing them with friends and family. Imgur is fast and allows for one or two click hosting. It is great for posting images to forums. As Min.us matures, it is looking like a very promising Imgur alternative.
Note: For SEO optimization websites should host their own image content locally.

I've been using Tinypic but I need to switch because they're using those damn captchas now.

Tinypic, used to have an account with http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/ WAY back in the day, but I can't remember my password and the email associated with it is long defunct.

BayImg, run by the Pirate Bay guys, claims that it will never censor.

They suggest http://www.imagefap.com/ for adult materials. WOT gives it a thumbs up (aside from child content protection). Anyone ever use it?

We used www.explicitview.com for the Porn-Off.

Aren't NSFW links banned in the non-nWo and non-AFG areas of the forums?
Also, I haven't really found a need for it, but I would use DropBox to host images.

He's not linking to something that's NSFW, just an example of a hosting site that would be used for such. Settle down, Beavis.

Explicitview.com (NSFW) has a very poor rating on WOT.
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/explicitview.com (This link is both safe and safe for work)
While WOT is not the end all be all of safe browsing, it is a good guideline and I tend to trust it.
For those not familiar, it is a browser plugin that pretty much alerts you to websites that install spyware or have bad privacy policies. I don't browse without it anymore. http://www.mywot.com
