Hotlinkers

[skybound2]

So, normally I don't mind so much. But the xanga hotlinker was eating up a decent amount of my bandwidth. I had asked them politely THREE times to remove my icons because of this. All three comments were deleted. This person also proceeds to whine and complain when the icons the have spent "so much time" linking to up and disappear. So I mentioned

I cannot believe how people act sometimes. I like how you handled them. :)

I normally am not bothered much by hotlinkers, i just keep track of who's doing it and if it gets out of hand, I'll ask them not to anymore. To be blatantly ignored, however, really ticks me off...

I'm glad you approved :-)

They have mine linked as well. Grrr...mind if I copy you?

[skybound2]

Oh! Sorry I missed yours, I must have been blinded by irritation.

Feel free to copy away!

Oh Jesus fucking Christ. I've taken down the domains of all the stolen icons and will e-mail the webmistresses to let them know. Because this is obviously just a troll who wants to make everyone's life miserable. Grr...

Alas, so many photobucket accounts that I can't trace back to the owners. *sigh*

I noticed that too...*sigh*

And they already have new icons up, now that the rest are coming down...

Thanks so much for helping out with the contacting, my brain was just set to "Irritated" and didn't get any further then that.

thanks fo the heads up :)

I haven't protected my site yet, as it's a new domain, and tadaa, already being hotlinked. people are so stupid.

I've replaced the icons for now as I'm pmsy, and will set up a protection during the next days, oh that's the icon I used for it, btw ;)

Rude little bastard took down all of our nice "I steal icons!"

*pouts*

Think I might go lock up my account now...
