Image Host Concerns
Am I losing my mind here, or do Tinypic and Photobucket completely destroy the quality of .jpg images over time? I just don't recall as many artifacts or as low of quality with my older images as I'm seeing now. Not that I can check the source, though. Most of the originals were deleted after uploading because they're just profile photos for characters.

If these hosts do, in fact, re-compress or otherwise lessen quality of .jpg files, I'd love to know of any alternative image hosts with reasonable bandwidth and no minimum viewing requirement. (I'm using Imgur for some things, but you're limited to number of images visible within your account and images not accessed often enough in a certain period of time 'may be' deleted.)

This is true. I've noticed that over time some of my higher DPI or generally bigger sized pictures get incredibly blurry. I've had to reupload them, and it was a pain =/

I haven't had it affect me for a couple of years now, it may have been a one-off server glitch or something. That doesn't make it any less of a problem, because albums are used to store the only copies of a picture. If that gets corrupted, you have no backups to replace it.

It is for this reason that I try to burn at least one copy of the file to disk...since I had a recent slave drive crash that took out years of stuff stored on it.
