******* is the girl in the tub..... It's a common image used by adult
webmasters when they want to fuck with someone. There are
even *******-like figurine dolls.

Man.... hundreds of adult webmasters learnt about this site
today. They are pissed. Because everytime you give something to
your surfers you are stealing content, bandwidth or both.
Bandwidth costs money... Real money.... Bills that must be paid.

So they get really pissed when they see someone else making
their own site more popular at the expense of their families
Christmas presents. Stealing their content and bandwidth hurts
them personally and they get extremely agro about it.

Me on the other hand.... I don't mind so much, as long as it's not
a flagship site.... Basically I don't mind your surfers seeing my
content as long as they can click my banners if they wish to. If
you were hotlinking me on the other hand I'd be img src'in you
back in return and redirecting all your img hits to ******* or
something similar. When you hotlink there is no opportunity for
your surfers to visit my sites and therefore I gain nothing from
your theft. If you attached the images to this forum using your
bandwidth and included a link... I'm telling you now... They
wouldn't care... They'd even post here in the end.

There are some ways to do this, which would make webmasters
happy, and others that piss them off. Stealing pisses them off...
Traffic makes them happy. If you linked back or something I think
you'd find this would be a more long term business. As it stands
it's probably just a matter of time before someone fucks you up
real hard.

Mate.... You really don't want to know where this came from...
There are 40,000 adult webmasters just waiting there to mess
with you. Believe me you will not win any kind of fight with them.

Thats what I thought, now if you could have said that in the
beginning, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

This is a fitness website, we also have an XXX section, we do not
make any money off it, our members and mods post content in
the XXX section for enjoyment.

I understand your problem, if we link to your pictures via img tags
then it does use your bandwith, you are basically hosting images
for us. Something I can do, and may do is make it so that all
images posted on this site must be posted as attachments, not
references.

Thanks for your detailed response, and welcome to the board. Do
you work out?
Should I tell him I'm a weak lil geek :-)

Gotta be one of the few times I've seen a bunch of geeks take on
a bunch of roid-heads. :-)
