I know links to that site are a no-no, but what about pictures from that site hosted on other sites?

They're spam, and usually they are at least flamebaitish. This is one of the reasons they are not allowed. If you're positive that the pictures are neither, go ahead -- but please don't think that rehosting an offensive picture gets you a free pass because it's no longer on ebaumsworld.
So in a yes or no answer is this allowed or not, so if it's not I can stop. I have no wish to be deat.

Linked thread locked for being spam.
Pictures in and of themselves are not against the rules, but since they are usually posted to insult someone, or add nothing to the discussion, they're generally considered flaming, flamebait, or spam.

[Moderator capacity]Well, let's look at this logically.
You know that links to the site are forbidden.
I have explained some of the reasons why it is forbidden.
You are asking me if getting around the ban on using those pictures is legal or not.
What do your critical thinking skills tell you? If it is an offensive picture or it is spam, it is an offensive picture or spam no matter where it is hosted. I would think that was so blatantly obvious that a demand for a 'yes or no' answer would not be necessary.[/Moderator capacity]

Hmm... I was wondering why my thread was locked. My sources come from a different site though, not Ebaums world. But oh well. I'm giving up on amusing threads. They're always locked or blocked.
