Programs: Lock up your servers against Fusker

cd, I think we get back to the old "lock up images to your own domain only". Most programs have their galleries on a single domain, so restrict image calls to that domain only, perhaps allowing yahoo and google through. Otherwise, there should be no reason for anyone else to be linking to those images. The only place they should be used is inside the freehosted gallery, called from the domain itself.

galleries.myprogram.com is the only place that calls the images legally. Everyone else is a hotlinker.

How hard is that?
