use of images on a msg board

ponygirl · 2004-10-25, 10:26 AM

I'm just wondering what the rules are for posting a pic on a board...I see from my stats that someone has posted a pic from one of my freesites in a thread, does that not use my bandwidth? are you allowed to do that?

Thanks for any info

If they linked to the pic on your server from the thread, then yes, it does use your bandwidth.

Do you have any htaccess in place to prevent hotlinking?

yes but it was causing some problems so I disabled it on some of the galleries...guess I should put them back in

I'm just learning about that kind of stuff (mostly from the more knowledgeable folks posting here!

) so I only have a basic understanding of how it works.

-I'm sure I saw somewhere that there was a way to test if your htaccess is working properly??

Thanks,

When I catch someone pulling that I like to replace the pic with an image (with the same URL of course) that says "I'm a fucking loser who steals porn because I'm too much of a cheap ass to pay for it," then rename the original image and change the links in my site. Works like a charm.

ponygirl,

Dont be nice to these people... they are stealing from you and from the content provider that "owns" the image.

Get your htaccess working or replace the pic with something obnoxious as Mad Max said.
