You know you can cut image size down drastically if you switch to better 
image compression? It seems apparent you are either working from a 
source image (4000+ pixels) or you are using PNG (which is very 
inefficient for anything outside of transparency), you should be using 
JPEG or TIFF (which is inefficient too but allows you to control the 
compression level) for images and screenshots.

Flickr has no limit on image size, just a limit on the amount uploaded a 
month (100MB for free accounts ~ and 150MB per video for free accounts) 
and you can directly link to images avoiding them having to visit the 
flickr site.  Flickr has no policy on having "dummy" accounts either as 
long as there is a legit email attached to it and the emails are you.
