If you are using images or videos in any way on the forum, especially things like art from deviantart or other sites, you need to:
1) make sure you're not directly linking the image, that is just copying the URL of the image and posting it with the![]()
tags. That's directly stealing bandwidth from other sites. At the very least, use an image hosting site. I've personally had a good experience with IMGUR.
and
2) be wary of the image's source, especially if it's a design or piece of artwork from somewhere like deviantart. If, say, you get an image from deviantart or the like, you need to post a URL link directly to the source and properly credit the original artist. To do any less could potentially put the site in serious legal trouble.
