@Arteneko all image hosts either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain (see also photobucket and tinypic)
i've found one that seems to keep the spirit of 2004 but it's probably only by obscurity, i'd hate to see what would happen if they had to cover more bandwitdth and server costs
@DarkWitchClaire I feel you... I used to use a friend's hosting service, very small python WSGI server with metadata stripping and ciphered storage, pretty efficient and simple. But then it... died, and I never managed to reach them again.
