I am a little late making a comment on this but since I have been more than a little busy of late and nobody advised me of the problem I was not aware of it at all.
tm-img.com is a service set up by Talk Morgan members for the use of members but beyond that is completely independent from Talk Morgan and has completely separate administration. The motivation for setting it up was the rather unethical way a popular hosting site suddenly started demanding payment for hosting.
tm-img.com is not available for public viewing but, having said that, anyone could create an account. We do however lightly monitor images that are posted to ensure that our terms of service are not breached.
Phishing is a term applied to emails that try to link you to sites, often purporting to be a bank site but also often courier sites, that try to obtain your account information, personal details and passwords.
Regarding passwords it is definitely not a good idea to use the same password that you use for your email or any other site, such as your bank, when you set up accounts on any forum or other form of internet service. Passwords are held in a secure way but should always be different from critical services.
Regarding the possibilty of tm-img.com being used as a phishing site it simply does not exist as there is no way for anyone to set up a page which requests the sort of data that a phishing scammer would want. The site does not have the possibility for a user to set up pages or forms. Certainly a AV program that objects to a particular image and give a phishing warning for it just does not have any sense at all so it is clearly a false output from the AV program.
I am glad that the problem has now been resolved but I wish to emphasize that it was never a problem with tm-img.com.
