We found these forums hotlinking to images and they caused the server to a total standstill:

There is htaccess in place to block any hotlinking, but somehow this was over-ridden.
I believ it was four/five galleries being hit, and I had no real choice other than to temp. rename them.
Dave - We do not remove galleries when they are being used - We stop listing old content - And the galleries remain in place till they are no longer being used.
About 2 years ago when we moved servers from Holland to America, there was a problem with one of the fhg sites as a lot of images went missing. This was put right as soon as we realised the problem.
Free sites I submitted myself - Well, I haven't done that in 4/5 years and I probably do not even have those domains still.
I do not believe in removing galleries for a short term gain in traffic as the loss of credibillity is far higher.
The current hotlinking is there to see - We try to run things as best we can for ourselves and partners - Had we left those galleries in place, no partner would have made sales from a dead server.
