Imageshack photos no longer appear, labeling GS as warez/porn/topsite. As I am sure this site is not the former two, I recommend investigating the problem further. If this ban will be permanent, will you delete all links to the site? Or will that be a per-user basis?
I've been experiencing this too. I thought it was just something on my end, turns out that's not the case. I don't know why Imageshack has seemingly taken it upon themselves to police the internet, but hopefully this is a false positive. EDIT: Just found out why this may be happening. The Imageshack ToS says:
If any domain hotlinks to abusive files, any file hotlinked on that domain will display this image, and the domain's owner must ensure the quick removal of all files hotlinked from ImageShack on that domain. Domains containing the phrases "toplist", "topsites", "porn", or "hentai" are banned regardless of abuse.
Looks like someone uploaded an offensive image to IS and put it on GameSpot, hence the ban. Either that or people have said "hentai" and "porn" too much on GameSpot (unless that last bit only refers to website names and not the content of them).
Well, I think it's best to drop them an e-mail. In the meantime, you can use GameSpot to host your images (which is the recommended way) or use Photobucket.
