Hey! Welcome, welcome.
All images that are used on SotE by members are hosted on other sites like Deviantart or tinypic. Hosting images by itself would make SotE way more expensive to maintain every month, so in order to keep it being out of control, there we are.
There are sites you can use that won't be "linked" to you in real life, and can be adjusted for any privacy concerns you might have by limiting when and how your images are viewed. I, personally, host all of mine through my deviantart's stash, but again, there's sites like tinypic and photobucket you can do much the same in.
Anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask!
