... but this isn't 2007, these days 
mp4 and 
gifv formats use a lot less bandwith for better quality... is there some way we could embed them?

			Ironic that I've also had some people email me about posting different types of videos...
Sounds like the need for some upgrades is ringing!

It's convenient but I agree that it's a liability in the long term, what happened with photobucket is a good example.  Still, we're happy to use youtube for video hosting...

It's my guess that not enough money was being generated through ads so thy made 3rd party picture hosting a paid service. Greedy pricks!

Go on... 
Imgur for example supposedly strips EXIF data, or are you referring to something else?
