Just a heads up...

I wonder how much storage would be needed to keep a local copy of any forum images currently hosted on Imgur? 

alm:
Another illustration why it's best to upload images to the forum as attachment rather than a third-party image hosting site. Unfortunately the limits on size and number of attachments sometimes make this painful.

MrMobodies:

--- Quote ---It’s not just porn that’s getting deleted from Imgur. Millions of images that are embedded elsewhere will also eventually be taken down.
--- End quote ---

I have foreseen that this might happen so I tried to do both (inline link to imgur and attach in message) when the forum's inline feature stopped working.

NiHaoMike:
There's a community project to save the data.

DW1961:
You can also use https://gifyu.com/

and it's easier to use than imagur.
