Yes, I do! My bad. Well, it's your bad too...

Why do people hotlink banners? I realize that there are a handful of sponsors that allow it, but it's bad, very bad. Put all of your site's content on your server and watch how much faster your sites load. Also, you won't have to worry about a sponsor's server going down and suddenly losing all of your adverstising.

One more thing to consider when it comes to hotlinking banners. When reviewing, I don't have a list of sponsors that allow it, so I just decline anything that pulls data from anywhere other than the originating site.
