Title: Simcontrol.es Is Hotlinking My Pictures
Post by: EKozski on April 20, 2010, 10:12:42 pm
I just wanted to make any website owner or anybody that has a forum that SimControl is hotlinking pictures.

I found out by checking the stats to my account. So far, they hotlinked three pictures to my one update. The affiliate button to SIMSPlayhouse and one of my signatures.

I'd make it a habit to check out the stats to your PhotoBucket account. That's how I found out.

You're welcome.

I tried to post earlier, but the site was down.

Yeah, I noticed myself. It all got fixed though. :D

Yes it did!

This has been on since before April 6. Well, with me anyway.

I did a print screen to show, but the size for the forum is too big. 800x600

You can post the link without the img tags. That would work fine.

Okie Dokie....
Here's the link...Hotlinking picture (http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk78/ekozski/SIMply%20Edward/9e03a8d1.jpg)
If you look close, you'll see the only checkmark belongs to SimControl. And, this has been going on since April 6-April 20

Ah, I see it there. Have you gotten in touch with them about this? I would.

No I haven't

I don't understand Spanish. I was given an idea using AltaVista Translator in an email. I'm debating it.

Well, maybe someone here (or even on your forum) speaks Spanish and would help translate for you. If I spoke it better (mine is extremely lousy), I would certainly help.

That would be a big help if someone helped me out. I'm serious.

Even if I just saw the thread where they were..........I looked, couldn't find them. But, like I said, I don't understand it.

If you want to stop someone from hotlinking your pictures, just Goatse them. They'll stop real fast. :P

*smirks*

There's never been a more evil or effective way to stop hotlinking than that. Hah.

If I knew what that was, that would be a big help.

So far, they've hotlinked my signature over at Black Pearl-twice, hotlinked the signature at my forum, and, hotlinked my signature at Sugah's Place. On top of that, they hotlinked all five of my pictures to a contest I entered at Black Pearl. Isn't this fun?!!?

Also, I noticed a few pictures from here in their Finds section. Some gave me a link to the section. That's how I found out.
