I'm surprised that you included all of aethereality's affiliates but not aethereality.net itself One of my personal favourites for brushes, textures, anime/manga scans, etc. etc.

And on another note, this is one of the best free image hosts I've used tinypic.com The only downside is that you don't have your personal account there, but that hasn't been a problem for me as I usually just need a place to host images.
