I remember one sponsor I worked closely with got fuskered while they were asleep and woke up to find that fusker site had used up about 15,000gb while they slept
I see. I really had no idea that it was taboo in the first place to hotlink to galleries if you are promoting the site. This is my first blog, and I thought it would make things quicker to hotlink. I mean, those of you who are running multiple blogs I'd think you'd want to do anything you can to make things faster right? Oh, well. Looks like I better upload the pics on my own host.
