First off, let me say that yes these will be pre-moderated before loading onto ROBLOX.

The reasons I want this feature:
A) We'll be able to use HQ images on ROBLOX(Upload shirts/pants are the only way to do this as of now)
B) It will cut back A TON on the space images take on ROBLOX's database. People won't just be uploading tons and tons of decals to ROBLOX, but will instead upload a big portion of their images to Imgur since they can be any size and retain their original quality.
C) Don't have to worry about people stealing your images since they won't know the Imgur link.
D) It won't increase the number of images people upload -- it'll just save room on ROBLOX's database.

How it works:
On the decal page(maybe even a separate one), add an option to "add image from Imgur". You put the link of the Imgur image in and it is sent to ROBLOX. If they approve it, the link gets an "approved" status, and if it's not, it stays "disapproved". Instead of saving a whole image on their servers, ROBLOX can just save the ID of the Imgur image, and a 0 or 1 to tell if it's be approved or not. Uploading still works as normal, and there are no downsides to this feature -- only benefits.

Oh, and by the way, this would not allow Imgur links to be posted on the website(unless ROBLOX wants to add a feature where approved images can be linked.)

Also for imgbomb too. Another bonus: Most image uploading sites support multiple image uploading. I expect they'd put an "Upload from Web" tab on the decal upload page, if they were to go ahead with this.

You can with the ROBLOX Forum Enhancer extension for Chrome but a new text editor would be great.

Unfortunately, not everyone uses Chrome, or even has the program. I guess image bomb would be okay as well, but Imgur is the standard for most people.

I understand that, just added imgbomb because I use imgbomb, I've never used imgur.

Imgur is most commonly used. Imgur should be used.

I'd rather them take on the suggestion with just one, and add more later, rather than putting all of these on them at once.
