The post is from 2005, so if the image was uploaded anonymously or using a free upload account, it will have disappeared by now.

From Wikipedia:
In January 2014, ImageShack announced that it was switching to a subscription based service and would no longer offer free uploads.
Images stored in free accounts were still available until January 31, 2016, and free accounts not converted to paid accounts were deleted after that date.
If the image in question is not accessed a single time in one year, it is removed.

All the ImageShack image links in the forum are probably dead links now, e.g. p10012

In August 2015, ImageShack silently started replacing deleted embedded images with advertising.

Must have been a short advertising campaign! I don't see the anti war slogans any more!!

Hi all,

Searched questioned post in archive.org that shows captured images as well.

Hope this helps.
