The high contrast background helps a lot.
To some degree I think we have to accept that forum hosted images will be badly degraded, I don't think any forum image software is much better, the issue is storage of the image on the forum server and speed of delivery to the viewer. The cost of storage of large numbers of good quality images on the server would I think be prohibitive.
Even with hosted images I am regularly seeing very slow presentation of image as they slowly populate posts on other forums, some not even appearing at all.
A good (strong?) contrast image will usually present better and more clearly than a low contrast image. This becomes an issue with fine detail like feathers and the tiny scales on butterfly wings, which can become a mush rather than beautiful and clearly defined detail.
