Awwh I love the flowery ones! Quick question, I see this on every graphics/icon/layout whatever post everywhere and never bothered to wonder, what's so bad about hotlinking? aside from if you break a link someone elses link breaks. But is there another reason? xo
When you hotlink, you are stealing someone's bandwidth, and that's why you see those "bandwidth exceeded" messages in place of icons sometimes. As a photobucket user you get so much bandwidth a month, and when it's been used up, it's gone. Every time somoene looks at the image, via your account (which they do if you just hotlink) then that sucks up your bandwidth sooner than if it's just you siphoning off of it. Make sense?
