Bummer deal, I really wanted that AMD avatar you have. :) J/K

Yeah I can understand you wanting to protect your graphics. But man alive.. The AMD av, got to have it! It looks so much nicer than that Intel av out there. And you know the Apple Mac? Ok, I won't even go there. ;)

hehe :)
You can still steal our graphics, you just have to host them on your own server.. If you click and save as.. you can download them and then upload them to another server, the anti-leech just keeps people from using my bandwidth to host the graphics on their own site :)

My avatar, and most of the graphics on this site are available to the public anyways.. I believe we got most of the buttons from pixeljunction.. Just some of the smileys and our logo are the only things we actually own 100% as far as graphics go..

I can understand why you would want to block people from using yoru graphics on another site. I agree that it's a good idea to stop leechers from barrowing your graphics as they'll eat up precouse bandwith. That is very smart thinking!

At the price of bandwith is insane. I can not stand people leeching.

I had a guy stealing a webdesign, and he was using my images.

So I took an image and replaced it with "I steal designs, so please host with people that are an ███ like us :)"

needless to say they took it down..

haha.. yeah thats the only good thing about letting them steal.. then BAM! lol -- Bandwidth is suppose to be "cheap" compared to the past; but it still seams like a awful lot, 1000/month for a t1 connection!
