I note LRM has changed his avatar.

LRM I note that my import is quite readable whereas your avatar is not, but may I say that I think the thoughts below are pertinent.

I think many of those offenders have simply found a place to exhibit their wares so that "robots", "spiders" and other crawlers post info back to some source to suggest the 'validity' of their publicity (and so get paid).

While accepting your basic premise I think that many will not have the knowledge to do as you suggest.

There are other considerations too. We get people like DiTo who offer large images, and then there is that forum "Sexy Girls". That would mean that, if posters had to provide a thumbnail then a URL would be necessary to view the enlargement off-site.

In some of those instances I believe that it would be against Shark's interests. DiTo has also suggested that you need membership, or her special dispensation to view her works.

Maybe Shark needs to embed a note to game exhibitors (who seem to be your bane) somewhere above the forum that for such posts the links will be voided.

As a later thought, you are talking "hotlinks" and "bandwidth", but are we not creating a somewhat greater sin by loading collections of huge images onto Shark's host server and thereby reducing his budgeted capacity? Maybe then "hotlinks" is less of an issue than big pics! I don't know.

DiTo has also suggested that you need membership, or her special dispensation to view her works.

Maybe besides the point of discussion Squeeks, but it wasn't up to me to have my pics being behind a membership... There are still "puritans" who think it's evil to show the naked body. In my opinion, those are the ones who preach war!! But that's only my opinon. The Flickr guys got a complaint of one of those so called "puritans" about my photo's showing explicit nudity, so they had to do something about it: That's why only members can see my pics now.
Sorry, but sometimes the hypocracy amazes me.

DiTo and Squeeky,

I've been trying to figure out what happened to LRM's avatar. Seems he may have had a concern about bandwidth and/or storage capacity, but I CAN'T FIND the thread (DAMN this pathetic search engine!!) where LRM originally posted the text that Squeeky quoted.

Could one of you provide a link, please?

My avatar is stored off site and I hope does not squander Shark's resources. The plea was from Image Shack one of the image storage sites I use. She is back pending a reply from Shark; her time may be limited.

Edit: Shark replied; off site avatars are not a problem. Enjoy her Gents and Ladies. At least until the current host thinks she squanders bandwidth.

i love your avatar LRM..she is so erotic..i keep waiting for her titties to pop out...

or her pants to drop?... they are unbuttoned... 8-)

either one would be great....

Prod the Giant.
There used to be wire that moved below her right breast. It distracted Arnulf so he removed it. He can probably make her top open from time to time, And I would enjoy seeing her jeans around her ankles; just once!

It does tend to keep your attention fixed on a certain spot...

It's not just that she looks erotic - she looks so happy with it
