Forum upload software strips metadata/EXIF data?

I was trying to look at the EXIF data on some images earlier today, and it seems that any image that's been uploaded into a thread with the "upload" feature strips all metadata from the image. Opening any of these photos in lightroom, it literally only tells me the name of the image, location (on my computer) and the size of the image.

Is there some way to prevent this from happening, either on an individual basis or forum-wide?

I doubt it would be worthwhile (to me, anyway) to pay my programmer to do this...

It's possible no metadata information was being shared with the images.

I checked a bunch of random images from various locations on the site, with a couple of different EXIF viewers -- including some of your uploaded images. It *seems* to be universal, as I couldn't find any photos at all that had any data attached. (Images inserted into threads with HTML, though, mostly have their EXIF data attached.
