Let me clarify our position on this.

1) We allow hotlinking off OUR servers, obviously I'm trying to get our sites as much exposure as possible. But we are the SPONSOR not the ADVERTISER. I don't think its right to hotlink an ADVERTISER's content and substitute your own ads.

2) That being said, fusker is correct, the hotlinking issue is easily solved with mods to .htaccess

3) And the poeple being hotlinked that don't like it have the ultimate fun party game... because you can control the content on someone else's site! Fusker is taking the risk of seeing lots of copies of "*******" or other equally disgusting (or even illegal) images appearing on his pages. That's not a risk I would want to take.

Fusker has offered his email address to have your domains blocked and I will ask him personally to not hotlink images from the galleries of lightspeed affiiates.
