    Fuskem.com - WTF????

    Hey everyone!

    Today I checked the stats for one of my sites and found about 20k hits within a few days and a LOT of bandwidth usage from one source http://www.fuskem.com! I never heard of that URL before, so I had a look and couldn't believe what I found. It's a script which allows users to enter an URL in a certain format (picture folder and a placeholder) and all pictures matching with that format are imported into their search engine and then HOTLINKED from their site. When you search for "russian" at that goddamn site, 2 of my freesites are right on top with all the images loading directly from my server.

    So, has anyone ever heard of that Fuskem site? Maybe someone knows who's running it? I now e-mailed them and asked for immediate removal of all links to my site, but somehow I doubt that anything will happen. I actually think that's not enough anywayz and that damn site needs to be taken offline ASAP. Any ideas what to do??

    PS: Guess which sponsor they are promoting... Yep, you are right - it's AFF of course

      Two words: hotlink protection.

                      Well, why is it my fault when they are hotlinking to my site or a surfer did and their script allows it? Is it my responsibility to add all fusker sites to my htaccess (which I did with fuskem.com now, or better - the webair guys were so nice to do that for me)? Or is it mandatory to spend loads of money for a linksentinel, just because there are sites with systems that hotlink to my images without me giving permission to them? I don't think so.

                      Oh, and btw - I got an answer from the fuskem.com webmaster, he immediately removed my site and even sent me a link with a tutorial to block fusker at my sites. So, none of the bad guys, I'd say

                          Next you'll be telling me you get hits from these new things called search motors. No, that's not right, steam engines. Hmmm .... Oh, whatever, I know one's called poodle.
