 About linking to Something Awful
Post New Topic  Post Reply 
Don't. The Something Awful server detects the referring page, and it it isn't on somethingawful.com, the image you were linking gets replaced with an image that, were you to post it intentionally, will get you banned. Some of you probably saw Avatar God's post tonight, and if you did, you know what I'm talking about.

Okay, it seems like goatse doesn't mean goats. What in the world are you guys talking about? What is a "goatse"?

Goatse is pure evil. If you really want to know, use google. But search with caution.(You probably shouldn't though, it's pretty disgusting and its not allowed on gamedev)

I'd just like to point out that image leeching is generally A Bad Idea.

Bandwidth often costs people money, and linking images directly from someone's website to these forums could cost them a lot of money, or in the case of limited bandwidth hosts like geocities, knock their site completely off the internet.

Of course, the more tech savvy people might spot you wasting their bandwidth in their referrer logs, and do a switch and rename - ie they replace the image you're leeching with something else (like goatse, huge.jpg or something else) and rename the old image on their own site something different. Either that or they alter their .htaccess like SA has done.

So the golden rule is: if you want to post a picture on here, I strongly recommend you host it yourself.
