Talked to Mental Ernie earlier.
He said he felt really bad about what happened. And that he would explain the situation to you if he could post on this board, but he can't anymore
So let me post this in his place please...

Just wanted to let you know I'm sorry about the whole hotlinking issue. Lemme explain the situation: yesterday at work I had been browsing forums all day long and suddenly felt the need to change my avater over at CFUS. I dowloaded it first but when I tried to upload it to my own space I realised I don't have ftp access here, so I decided to hotlink it for a few hours until I got home.
I did not notice when you deleted the image on your server and replaced it like you said, I had already uploaded it to my own server by than. Needless to say I was very surprised when I visited your board today and noticed I couldn't post anymore.
By no means did I mean to disrespect any of you or the rules, I've been doing my very best to be a good member of the community from day one, just like I am one at CFUS (I'm not 1 of the 2 admins without a reason). I just figured that no one would mind me linking such a small image for only a few hours from such a big board, it was never my intention to keep hotlinking it. I know I could have just waited a few hours until I got home, but I was bored and you know how it goes ... I am of course willing to pay any bw costs I might have caused.
And I am NOT just another hotlinker, I've been a webmaster for a couple of years now and built up a good reputation as a thrustworthy and reliable person. Ask anyone in CFUS for that matter.
So please accept my apologies and give me my posting rights back.
Regards,
Mental Ernie
