icons #027
Bonsoir Heroes.
Yes, I felt like re-watching Tiger & Bunny, so here: animated icons episode 1 & 2.
Of course majority of them is our derpy and lovely Tiger.

And now it's time for some bitching. I would appreciate if you read it because it's somehow important.
I haven't checked my photobucket statictisc in a very long time and how surprised I was when I did it two days ago. Seems like someone was/is hotlinking some of my icons.
I know that some people may look at 'rules' that are always written at the end of the post and think 'yeah, yeah, I know it all'.
That's great. The thing is that these 'rules' are there for something.
So what is hotlinking? To put it simply: you hotlink something - in this case my icons- when you right click on the icon, copy the image URL and then paste this URL in your post/blog sidebar/whatever. Basically: when you do not re-upload the image on another (perhaps your own) server.
The 'problem' with potobucket Standard account (maybe I'll go pro some time in the future; up until now there was no such need) is that bandwidth is limited. So if your images are viewed too many times instead of seeing actual picture you see an ugly image saying: 'bandwidth limit exceeded'. And then you have to wait until the next month to view images normally again. I wouldn't really care about hotlinking - it's your problem when you have this ugly photobucket images all over your site instead of original ones. But I post them here, in public entries so that everyone can see them whenever they feel like it. And if you hotlink, then not only your site/post/whatever is ruined but also MINE. And that's why I'm angry. Because I am not obligated to share these icons. But I do it anyway. I could make a few icons only for me. However, I spent my time doing more and sharing with people. I'm not bitching about it - I do it because I really like it. And it's really shitty if someone comes here and sees ''bandwidth limit exceeded' all over the site.
I know that some people may think: 'oh God, such a pain in the ass, I need to save the icon I'll be using on my computer and then I have to re-upload it somewhere'. Actually it's simpler. Copy the image URL, go to - for example - tinypic.com, choose 'upload from URL' option and voilà - done. It takes something around 30 seconds.
I wouldn't be writing about it if I were rich enough to by my own hudge server. But right now I'm using photobucket (yes, it's more convenient for me than uploading to LJ ScrapBook) and that's how the things are. Until I go pro on photobucket I'll constantly ask not to hotlink. Thank you in advance.
End of bitching.
Just fyi, some icons are more than 40 kB, as always I'm sorry for this. Unfortunately I am unable to make awesome icons. And make them under 40 kB.
Bonne nuit, mes amis.
