raginite rated 8 months ago- A really good site, Made me laugh knowing how dumb people can be on myspace.

- A bit evil but they deserve it.

- Nice idea, but I think that is a bug on the web to do Cross-Server-Attacks like that... I wonder if anybody really involved in Internet Security were to come along, and I don't know, send this in as a bug to the firefox team? It's going from an image to a webpage, which is wrong...

- I like the idea very much. With those people hotlinking, it is not so much about them realizing what they do - they seldomly do. But to saev my own bandwith on such people, very good. The restriction to myspace also allows it to be more targeted than the usual 'avoid hotlinking' which often gives problems.

- Except how often does a user visit his own profile? Enough to realize its his page causing them and their friends to sign out (and why)? Not likely. They will just assume that their is a bug in myspace, not their page. So really you're not annoying them, you're annoying their friends who did nothing wrong. Stick with the alternate pics (photobucket pics work well if it's really about your bandwidth) unless you are as pathetic as the thieves are. Not to mention as someone else said, you've now also taught someone a new way to spread viruses.

- Brilliant! The typical hotlink defense in a wonderful new fashion!

- A great, actually-useful way to get people to stop hotlinking without taking up your own bandwith.

- Jibble has a nice little article that is another strike against all of the drooling fools on Myspace.
