You might want to try, Synaptic Sims (http://s11.zetaboards.com/SynapticSims_Lair/index/).

You have to register to download.

You might find Bucky there too.

Why, oh why, does no one ever read the stickies (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,106049.0.html)???

Hotlinking steals bandwidth other people pay for. Ergo, it is very, very, very bad. Please do not do this. Instead, save the images to your own computer and then upload them to your own account on the third party image hosting site of your choice.

Okay, vandal... I'm kind of mad that you re-edited your post to add hotlinked images again after you've been warned twice (by a site administrator of all people) to not hotlink images and had those previous links removed.  Since you can't be bothered to even click the Sticky link to read it, here it is in rare form:


ETA 10/17/10:  Just to sum up  and elaborate a little on what Joy has posted above, since some people still have no idea how they are hotlinking to images:



Q:  What is hotlinking exactly?

A:
Posting links to files or images that load from a different server/website location that is not your own (without consent of the original owner or service).

Q:  Why is hotlinking bad?

A:
Hotlinking is a form of theft.  The owner of the original site/image account/server that the files are hosted on would have to put up with unexpected bandwidth spikes each time a page with links to their content is loaded... and for those who have image accounts that push hard on the maximum bandwidth available per month, it's a pain to find out that images have been directly linked to.  (This also affects those who view the images in a way... everyone knows the "bandwidth exceeded" replacements are not very appealing to look at.) In the end, it's the owner who would have to pay for the damages caused by hotlinks, and it also has potential to cause a conflict between the site owners and this site over the issue.  (Something that  everyone would rather not have to deal with at all.)

Q:  How do I know if I'm doing this?

A:
You'll know if your hotlinking by two main signs:

  • The link automatically starts downloading a file upon being clicked.

  • The url of the file or image posted is copied directly from someone else's website, server, or image hosting account without permission.  In the case of images, this also means with or without image tags. (Why without also? Without the tags, it becomes just another run-of-the-mill hyperlink.  See the first "Q" and previous bullet for further clarification.)


Q:  How do I avoid it?  The only reason I hotlinked before was because I don't know how to upload the images I have to share!

A:
There are several places you can go for your uploading needs:

Image Hosting

  • Tinypic (http://www.tinypic.com/) - Instant Upload/Optional registration, (reCAPTCHA entry upon upload to verify you as an actual person and not a bot)
    Tinypic no longer allows international links, therefore it is useless for people outside of the US and Canada.  Personally, I no longer recommend this as a reliable uploading source if you want everyone else who is located outside of those areas to view your images.  :p  Better alternatives are offered below. 

  • Imageshack (http://imageshack.us/) - Instant Upload/Optional registration

  • Imgur (http://imgur.com/) - Instant Upload/Optional Registration

  • ImageBanana (http://www.imagebanana.com/) - (German) Optional Registration

  • EZPicShare (http://www.ezpicshare.com/) - No Registration

  • Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/) - Registration Required

  • Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) - Registration with Yahoo ID Required


A myriad of others are also available.  For more image hosting choices, here is a list of links for free image hosting (http://www.findimagehost.com/image-hosting-all.php).


Blue text to add emphasis on what you're doing wrong.  Trust me, it's a simple fix to not copy the url/link of someone else's pictures and post them here.  That's still hotlinking.  Use one of the image hosting services linked in the post, upload the image there, and share that link/picture that site gives you instead.

After I sent you four pm's explaining, in clear point form, the proper way to post an image and what not to do, you went ahead and did it again? Well, I really can't say I'm surprised, since you admitted to me you refused to read rules or stickies, even if they were pointed out to you.

If this is how it's going to be, then I will save us all the headaches and bid you farewell. I truly wish you luck in this community, because there are many other places where you'll simply be burned in effigy before you're given the benefit of the doubt.
