Do you know something we don't?

I borrowed that from a friend and I'm hosting it myself.

Ah, I thought you might have been trying some antileaching code and blocked yourself.

Nope. I don't do that. When I find a bunch of leaching going on, I sign up at the offending forum and go looking for my stuff. Some of my graemlins are quite popular with a few of the EVE communities.

Ive had so much stuff nicked i give up now.
And accept its just the way it is.

Less headaches and frustration.
Shame really as that attitude has knocked the wind out
of my sails to going that extra mile at times,
where i always used too

But saying that, something that i read a long time ago was this
"If you don't want it nicked don't post it"

here I thought he was popping the blue pills again...

Ok, what is "anti-leaching" and why is it a bad thing?

Antileaching isn't a bad thing. It's applying a few lines of code to your .htaccess file and it stops people from "hot linking" your site goodies such as jpg, gif, png, css files.

Hot linking is when someone uses and image (for example) on their site but links to it from yours instead of hosting it on their servers. This means that if you get 10 visitors and they get 1,000,000 visitors they are using all YOUR server bandwidth up. Naughty!!!!

It just so happens that Mr Gizmo posted an anti-leaching thingymibob recently so I thought it might be related.

That I indeed find so
