please have some courtesy
yesterday i got quite pissed to find a few sites have been hot-linking some of my images. i mean, at least download the image to their own server first instead of just conveniently using up my bandwidth! and whatever happen with the courtesy of asking first? totally not cool.
i actually don't really mind people using my images, as long as they ask me first, and most importantly, don't steal my bandwidth. had i not been randomly checking my stats yesterday, i wouldnt've found out about this at all. i check my stats irregularly; sometimes once a week, other times once every 6 months. so this might have already been happening before, only i just wasn't aware of it.
so, i've finally decided to use .htaccess to block both existing and future hot links. now those sites that use my images on their pages will get this instead:
