    For those that don't know http://rghost.net is a TEMPORARY file hosting site and by temporary I mean anything you upload there is removed after 30 days.

    This is what happens when your files expire.

    The signature no longer loads and unless the person who created it re-uploads it there is no way to get it back.

    I recommend using http://imgur.com/ since it's fasted image hosting service I've yet to come across, your links won't expire and it's free.

    I think better title for this is "Dont use rghost for uploading pictures".
    imgur is the best image host.

    rghost.net is the only file host I know that allows anonymous uploads. (No sign up)
    mega.co.nz is best file host imo.

    I'm not quite sure, but what about 4shared? It should be free. Could be a good place to upload demos.

    4shared is good for demos, not as a image host that allows hotlinking images.

    So for images, use imgur, tinypic etc.

    For demos and other files you can use any, if you want a quick upload without taking up space in your account, just use rghost... otherwise there are many hosts like mediafire, 4shared, hostr.co, mega, etc...

    I recommend dropbox, just drop the image in there, right click the file and copy url, in seconds it is uploaded without needing to even go on a website.

    Secure. More secure than rghost for example.

    Mega doesnt know how to open your files without the key so no one can make them open it.

    I actually find it annoying, me for example, I lost the key(the one they give You on registering), I lost my pass, and don't have the key, my files were gone...

    I cant help that. I rather lose it than it to be unsecure somewhere. Mega is not for you then.

    inb4 U.S. government seizes it for more piracy.

    (For those that don't know, mega.co.nz used to be MegaUploads which was another file hosting site, but due to its heavy use in hosting pirated software/games/etc. it was seized by the government and taken down).

    @Doomblade3890 Most of us know. But US government has no power in NZ as far as i know. Most gaming private servers are even hosted there to bypass the US laws and restrictions.

    So another reason to stop using rghost for image hosting.
    rghost has be flagged as unsafe, some chrome users might not be able to view the whole page if a link to rghost is found.
    Please stop using rghost for image hosting!

    P.S. If anyone found a blocked page (because of rghost), please let me know so I can remove the link.

    only rghost.ru - which now redirects to rghost.net

    rghost.net works fine for both Chris and myself.
