Yes he did say that.
However (as posted in the other thread) the images hosted on this server only account for (roughly) 15% of the daily traffic (in bandwidth terms) so removing these would not have the effect that you are expecting it to.
This conclusion was made after spending time studying the weblogs of the server and running various stats programs on them, rather than uninformed specualtion as to what the problem may be.
The webteam are now looking at the other remaining possible causes to the problem to ensure that they have an accurate picture of why the board is failing, rather than throwing random solutions at it that could make it worse.
