  regarding many images on pmc being unavailable
  tldr discord is deleting images after a while to free up storage space
  
  what’s happening?
  many images around PMC (wall posts, descriptions, profile pages) which are hosted on Discord are refusing to load, visiting the image URL returns an error.
  
  what is causing it?
  Discord doesn’t like it when you host images with them, so they’re creating a new system where images sent on Discord will be removed after a long period of time from Discord’s servers - there’s nothing we can do about it. it’s really inconvenient but PMC can do nothing about it, as it’s Discord who are hosting the image, and PMC is just displaying it from the image URL.
  
  alternatives for image hosting
  - if you’re up for a challenge, you could host your images through GitHub
  - imgur is easy-to-use and doesn’t need logging in
  - imgbb also exists
  - Tixte is my favourite - you can upload images/videos/more and host them with a custom subdomain, with 15gb of storage space
  
  its annoiyng, but PMC can’t do anything about it, and Discord ain’t gonna budge either.
  
  
  Cyprezz add image hosting for descriptions plz
