Don't Hotlink!

Published by Toronto Mike on July 13, 2007 @ 20:42 in Miscellaneous

bolt Tohea is a text-based roleplaying game centered around the popular show and game, Pokémon. I only know this because a Tohea forum has been hotlinking to one of my images for some time now. Hotlinking is not very nice, as I absorb the bandwidth cost every time someone loads a page in that damn forum, and judging by the stats that's a whole lotta hits.

Instead of just blocking the hotlink, I decided to have a little fun with the RPG crowd. I replaced the picture of a lightning bolt with an image that reads "Toronto Mike sez Don't Hotlink!"

Here's a screen cap of their forum as it looks right now. Click the image to see it full sized.

Oh, my. O.o;;

I had no idea that Tohea was doing that. I'm not going to leave because of it, but I think I may try making some nice *.gifs that they can use instead, since I don't approve of art theft at all, and I'm pretty sure permission was not asked, nor credit given, considering. >_>

*scurries off*
