Hotlinking
« on: March 10, 2004, 08:52:36 pm »
Hello All:
I have been just as busy as Cmonkey lately, and have found little time to check the forums and such. However, was looking over a few things and saw that a few nasty people were stealing images right off of the SpongeZone webserver, which was helping to run Cmonkey out of bandwith. I figured I would give him a hand, so we have done our best to make hotlinking very difficult with certain images.
Remember: If you want to use a picture: 1)Ask Cmonkey 2) Copy it to your own server/website hosting.
Doing those two things will help the SpongeZone and keep everyone happy. Overall, I have also cleaned up a few things to further increase your SpongeZone viewing pleasure, and things should be running a bit smoother. Please let us know if you experience any oddities with the main page.  :blink:

Not really meant to be a threat or anything, But when people take images right off SpongeZone without permission or without copying them to their own server, it does use alot of bandwith. Because of that measures have to be taken to conserve the bandwith, like having to temporarily take down the videos last month; Cmonkey and I are trying to prevent things like that from ever happening again.
So, cheers:

You use the image address (www.whatever.com/blah/blah.jpg) and put it on your own website. This causes the bandwidth to go up.
