You still have the banners hotlinked on that site.

Might want to check Porn Kings Terms of Service so you're not breaking it. Many sponsors doesn't allow it.

Thanks for the heads-up, Swedguy. I'm a little confused though....
I was under the impression that some sponsors prefer you to hotlink their banners etc, for tracking purposes or something.
With this particular PornKings one the link was pre-made with the IMG SRC tag linking to their server.

I actually thought that I'd somehow break their T&C by not hotlinking.
Hmmmmm.

Couple of questions then......

1. I'd definately prefer not to hotlink unless I have to. Should I always host things myself?

2. Will it be okay to go and change that banner now even though it's already listed on quite a few Link Lists?

I'm poised to change it.........eagerly waiting.......

Done.
Freesite lesson #784 has now been learned - Don't hotlink anything.
Thanks for your help Swedguy.

No. I mean yes.
It's sooooooooo much more complicated than I imagined. You folks who submit freesites, plus TGPs, plus run a Link List, and review here and there, plus all of the other things must have an extra seven hours in your day or something.
