Possible Hotlinker? What do you think?
 

I was checking my stats, and I noticed this referral was the #2 referral this month:
http://hehe.com/moe4/mail/ReadMessage.cfm

I thought it was pretty odd, it isn't a search engine, or a link list. What do you think the chances are it is a hotlinker? I've had 920 hits from this address since the 1st of the month.

If its legit, I apologize to the person who posted it and thank them for the hits http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif

It could be some e-mail group or forum - there really is nothing you can do about them except use .htaccess

I get several BBs, egroups, newsgroups etc. trying to call my images everyday but with .htaccess there's no fret.

Do you know where I can get info on setting up the htaccess? I heard you have to have apache server/unix and I have that but beyond that I don't know.

I use a very simple version and just stick it in my image directory:

----------------------------

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com:80.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com:80.* [NC]

RewriteRule /* http://www.where_you_want_to_redirect.com [R,L]

-------------------

You can use the last line to redirect surfers that try browsing your image directory. You can save the above as a .txt file and then upload it to your image directory. Once you upload it, rename the file to .htaccess

another technical thing that i have no clue on! lol

webmistress.. hehe.com or moe is from myownemail.com, cuz i used to have a [email protected] maybe someones spamming?

I hope not! The woman that I designed the site for has, unfortunately, had several designers before me.

The last one she turned loose kept 2 CD's worth of content she bought, refused to return them, and was a total ass. He designed a link list, then kept erasing all the links people posted every few days. DUH! I would not be suprized if he didn't do something like that.

I need some help.

I used that .htaccess text you posted above and it doesn't work for me.

My server is on Unix and says that it allows the Mod rewrite stuff.

What could I be doing wrong?

Peace,
