You are correct, the sticker images are hosted on our servers. This is by design, because the mod uses a database of stickers, so we need to keep track of the URL of the image of each individual sticker.

Cloning the stickers on your own forum would make them inaccessible from the mod, which means your users won?t be able to benefit from the features of the mod (recently used smileys, trending smileys, or new sticker packs). It would also prevent the smileys from showing up in search results and auto-suggestions inside the mod. All this would essentially makes the mod useless for your users.

Finally, it is actually more efficient to host the images on our servers. First, you do not pay for bandwidth used by the images. Second, we host the images on Amazon?s cloud, which has enormous speed, bandwidth and uptime, and this helps make your pages load faster.
