Bandwidth Thieves (aka Hotlinkers) annoy me.
I give away my wallpaper for free, for any use people like.
All I ask is that people download the images and host them on their own server.
When someone directly links to my images on my site, they use up bandwidth that I need for my website..
These are some of the people who used large amounts of bandwidth before I switched the images.
I hope they like my updates to their pages.

AdHell the Cath Quebec City Hardcore Forums (French) Another forum user. 1280x1024 into a 150x150 slot. Adding an insult to the moderator's mothers should improve his relations with the forum users. |

Pixie No Haters BBS (Requires Registration) This time a forum user made her 64x64 pixel user icon link to a 360k, 1200px wide image on my server. Every 3 page views of any thread she posted in was costing me a megabyte of data transfer. Welcome to the hall of shame, Pixie. |
