Bandwidth Usage
Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2004 3:29 pmIt's always been a rule around here that linking directly to images on the sites is forbidden. Due to people linking directly to new GFW images on the site in both this forum and on others, bandwidth usage has increased by a couple of HUNDRED dollars in June, and it looks to be worse this month.
As a result, we will be strictly enforcing this rule in the future. Everyone gets one warning, and if you insist on linking to images again, you're banned. No questions, no begging, no apologizing. If you embed the image into another board and I know who you are, you're banned. Please do us the courtesy of either using a hyperlink or copying an image to your own server or online service. I'm sorry to be so draconian about this, but I simply don't have that kind of money to toss around.
And if you really enjoy the boards/sites, then feel free to donate to the sites through PayPal. Every little bit will help keep us going.
