I hate it when people do this… looking through my weblogs tonight after some increased activity on the bandwidth front I managed to work out why..

it seems a few other sites are stealing bandwidth.. that is, linking to images I have on here and not storing them on their own website.. whys this bad ? well when anyone accesses their page rather than the bandwidth of their own server, it counts against ours.. Theres a good simple article here on what bandwidth stealinng is..

I’ve had to turn on ip banning and hotlink protection, something I dislike doing becuase it can cause issues within my own site, maybe the people using my images will get the hint when thier pages appear with broken image links..

All the sites I found this evening dont have email contacts on their sites so I can’t email them and politely ask them to remove the links.. oh well…
