ATTENTION GRAPHICS MAKERS AND USERS!!!
I was informed of a graphics thief this morning. It seems they have 10 pages of my graphics on a "myspace" graphics site. They've provided codes that are hotlinking from LJ users photobucket accounts and are giving the graphics away, already personalized, using those links.
Contact info through the site doesn't work so I did a "who-is" search for them. I found 2 different listed owners, including the server owners. I've contacted both as well as the registry for the domain.
Take a look - seach using your username and see if your work has also been stolen.
If you're a graphics user that stores your goodies on Photobucket, please IMMEDIATELY change your settings to use a "read only" password and change your album names to force the links to break.
