SirChaz said:Actually you would be using that site's bandwidth instead of Skkorps.
BleedingPurple said:Yes, but you're also relinquishing ultimate control for that image to someone else.
Site operators will often change image directories and even file names, sometimes with bad intentions, just because they saw a file was being hotlinked.
So, a file name representing a nice thought today could be a bad thought tomorrow.
Plus it is just simply poor manners to steal someone else's bandwidth for your own use. There are scripts out there which ferret out this kind of misbehavior.
lol...well at least I have an excuse if one of my linked pics gets switched...Ryanwb said:Dude... people here hotlink so many pictures off other people's site. I am amazed nobody has swapped the linking picture for something inappropriate.... which I have seen done on other sites
