  Hi,
  If an image is uploaded to the media library, then deleting it from the library would cause it to disappear from a post or page that it was attached to, or to which it was inserted from the media library, in the case of unattached images.

  If an image used on a WordPress.com site is hosted elsewhere, then the disappearance of the image from, or the relocation of the image at, the source would result in it’s disappearance from the WP.com site.

  So, I have been writing stories on our sailing adventures and posting them to a Trailer Sailor forum. Then I copy the words and pics from the forum and paste it to wordPress . The forum deletes photos after a bit, so when the forum deletes the pics, they also disappear from WordPress?
