I see an oopsie...

Some of you might have noticed that bandwidth has been exceeded for the account I use for this community.

It's been almost 4 years and I've never had this problem, so I can only suspect hotlinking that quickly burned through the 10GB that Photobucket gives to free accounts. (In fact, I've gone WAY over the limit for free accounts.) I ask with each post that you not do so for this very reason, and now we all have to wait until bandwidth is reset.

Please refrain from hotlinking my icons. It is not that difficult to save them or upload them to your own Photobucket account with their 'copy to my album' feature.

If bandwidth is exceeded again, I'm not sure that I will continue to publicly make and share graphics. =\ This is only one of the few things that I ask each time I post icons or any other graphic, guys.

Please stop hotlinking my icons and refrain from doing so in the future.


I will not be posting anything more until graphics start working properly.

Is there any way to find the hotlinkers? I know some news sites have found and replaced the linked pictures with.. not what they were supposed to be?

I'm sorry you're having to go through this problem.
