What to do to a bunch of hotlinkers - GoFuckYourself.com

Myst · 01-25-2005, 04:25 PM

should i put up a page saying "You cannot download this without a valid email" and collect email addresses? try to send them to a email sponsor? install a toolbar? what would be the best.. (per signup doesnt work well)

GatorB · 01-25-2005, 04:34 PM

put up a page with ******* on it.

Myst · 01-25-2005, 04:59 PM

that would be good, but id like to make money

MyNameIsEmily · 01-25-2005, 05:13 PM

the best thing to do is the nice thing. you won't get anywhere by fucking with potential customers.

Use a jpg of a super hot girl and some text that says:

"We're truly sorry, but we just can't spare the bandwidth to link you right now.
There's a good chance the file you're looking for is still on our website: www.myst.com thanks."

If hotlinkers were making you money you wouldn't be posting about this now would you?

skillfull · 01-25-2005, 05:36 PM

******* still the best idea

austinth · 01-25-2005, 09:45 PM

if i were u i'd send an email telling them to stop or your tell their mom's.
that should do the trick

Ask Izzz for his private homo collection....When he isn't using it

Myst · 01-25-2005, 09:50 PM

lol
anyone here even a webmaster?

NickPapageorgio · 01-25-2005, 09:52 PM

Direct them straight to a sponsor signup page or tour or redirect them to the homepage of your site and keep the traffic.

Myst · 01-25-2005, 09:59 PM

installing toolbars would be bad?
what about per-email sponsors?

per-signup will not work, these assholes dont buy shit, they get my movies from forums posting hundreds of these
