yes, i had that. its gone now.
could be that they are denying all referrers except for gofuckyourself.com through htaccess, that way, all hitbot traffic to the board is denied and sent to the basic index.html with the 'click here' link, which would be about 700-800 bytes in size. clicking on that link the referrer would be gofuckyourself.com, and give access to the main board (where all referrers are denied but gofuckyourself.com is allowed). that way it wouldn't be possible to img src a thread on the board, because the referrer would be denied. the error traffic (403) would be redirected to the basic index.html page as configurable through htaccess, where the page is between approx. 700 and 800 bytes. loading that 50,000 times is better than loading 60kb thread 50,000 times.
or something like that. :1orglaugh
some people only see it once... either the small 'click here' index page its been taken down now, or they're using cookies. :)
