I’m not a computer guy, but I think it has something to do with the link you use. Mines stayed for years, and I’m glad for it.

Probably has to do with the image hosting service.

This is easy...
Your avatar will last as long as the "Random Picture" thread.

Also one of the more popular free image hosting services (tinypic) recently went tits-up.
