Diagrams in the Headshop

There've been two ocassions where I've found it much easier to produce a diagram rather than use words to explain a concept. One was in a Headshop thread, and it was intended to show a fallacy; and t'other was in Games and Gameplay and was showing a route across a map.

Is this good or bad or not really an issue? I'm quite interested in continuing to explain things in this manner but I want to find out any pitfalls first.

I really liked your diagram in the Head Shop - as lon as one doesn't become overreliant or use them instead of a good argument - in essence, as long as one uses them as one should words in the Head Shop - I don't see the problem.

I guess one thing to think about is things like hosting- anyone using diagrams sourced form their own storage is going to have to make sure it stays put to avoid the post becoming a meaningless little white square with a fatuous little red Johnny-no-stars cross. Mind you, I have a separate account for important pictures.
