ImageShack

Free image hosting

ImageShack is a web-based image hosting service that allows users to upload, store, and share photos.

Popular in the 2000s for hosting images linked on forums and blogs, it provided free hosting before shifting to paid models.

I uploaded the screenshot to ImageShack and posted the link.
