A Short Rant, and Two New Icons

Postby Star Way » Fri May 20, 2005 6:05 pm

Not a huge update, but I just wanted to remind everyone of something: I hate direct-linkers.

If you don't know what direct-linking is, it's where you take an image you want from a website and then put it on your own page or blog or whatever without uploading it to your own server. (If you direct-linked an image to your website, the <img> tag would look like: <img src="http://lyokofreak.toxicocean.net/images/image.jpg">)

Direct-linking is bad for me because I am paying for this site, and in doing so, if you take an image and lots of people see it, my amount of website storage will go down, and that's bad. Basically, you're stealing space on my site. I don't like that, especially.

Please do your part and re-upload images to your own host. You can get a free Photobucket account, which allows you to upload images for free. Then I won't loose any space, and you can still use the image, so everyone's happy. :)

And as for a real update, I've added two new icons. :P

That's *exactly* what they are. Ugh. It's kinda funny to take down the images and re-upload them though because then they're like, why doesn't my image work??? XD

No one you need to beat up. :P Thanks for the offer tho. Haha.

I kinda already did a little beating anyway. :devil2:

And thanks. :) I always try my hardest to make icons look great.

I hate it when the bandwidth is eaten, especially on my old geocities account. It was always down because of my popular views...
What will you remember me for?

Well, that's a little different... I mean, yours was down 'cuz you had a lot of pageveiws; this is like, someone else is taking images and putting them on their own sites without uploading them to their own servers first, which is bandwidth theft.

I guess you can't upload a different picture under the same link? When IF boards skins were hotlinked Someone replaced it with this cover your eyes, this will hurt

Nice colors here though

AAUGH! Woah, that's.... insanity.... O_O

Nah. If you do that then it kinda defeats the purpose of making it so that the image they direct-linked doesn't work anymore...

But it's easy to just upload it under a different name and then delete the old one. >)

Well, it's not very nice...

I think you should probably get onto Photobucket too.
