Hotlinkers make me smile

July 14, 2005 By: bio Category: General

I’ve been going through my stats again…. looking for people who hotlink to imags on my server.

Seriously people… this is a waaaaay bad idea. Do you actually want me to contol the content on your website?

Today’s featured site was using my ashtray wallpaper as their background. While that’s all spiffy and flattering and stuff… it’s my bandwidth (and my image too… I took the picture and made it into a seamless background).

If you’re the person who’s site has been affected and you’re here to whine about it… It’s not like I didn’t warn you that I do things like this on my site. And remember… it’s my picture… on my server. I can do anything I want with it (and this really does make me smile). 🙂

So… I replaced it with something more attractive. You be the judge (I’m not sure how long this will stay up, so get it while it’s hot!)

Update: 07/15/05
They changed their background to something that’s not on my server (now they’re hotlinking to an image at the University of Indiana). For those who missed it… here’s the pic I put up.

    Sadly… it was short lived, and it doesn’t appear that they learned their lesson.
