Plus quite often it destroys useful information and renders threads unreadable by anyone else at a later date, damaging the site's considerable archival value.

Is the problem just that the site software has no maintainers so nobody can change the code? (If so, the site's in *big* trouble and that should be fixed pronto before it fails completely.)
Oh yes, this one was a very important image. It was a guy lighting up a forest.
