    A section in profiles just to upload pictures of beer either private, or public so users can upload pictures from there on threads. Rather than going through Facebook or other websites. Maybe a cropping tool or not w/e with albums or even just an album with all the photos. maybe limit the number of pictures?

    I doubt they'll take this on, and I don't want them to. Hosting a large number of photos can be a huge undertaking, which is why there are numerous companies that do nothing but host photos. Given how much work those dedicated image hosts have put in, a home-grown solution would probably be more difficult for us users and would take up a lot of BA's resources, both in terms of developer time and server load, not to mention the increased infrastructure costs.

    Not all image hosts are created equal, though, so maybe you just haven't used a good one. I use and recommend imgur, which is the most "no nonsense" one I've found.
