It is often insert a picture that links to an external image. Ie, the 
image itself is not saved in the web forum server.

Otherwise, it is an admin choice. On one forum I use, I can post photos, 
but they do not appear till approved by someone.

Hosting photos is a load on the server. Bandwidth, cpu, storage.

They are not bad per se. Actually, it is possible to link a web forum 
with an nntp server. When I need help with something and the people are 
on a forum, I post on the forum, no problem.
