Just a reminder to all members, please do not hotlink. Repeated offenses will result in an official warning and possible suspension.
What is Hotlinking? It is posting an image from one website onto another one, such as BZ. This not only steals bandwidth from original site, but also may result in broken links overtime, an increased server bill for the original site, and potential legal issues. An Example of Hotlinking: Taking an image from firstview.com, then copying the URL of their image and posting it using the image tags with their URL. It looks like this: CODE [img]FirstView Image URL[/img] There are many free image-hosting sites on the web. Please click HERE for more information about these sites and hotlinking. If there are any questions or comments regarding hotlinking or BZ rules, please feel free to contact a staff member. Thank you, The BZ Staff |
