# yeah
that address isn't on the list of server addresses that the server hosting that image is allowed to serve images to.

# Fnord asked if it was official
I pointed out that it was giving that picture, hence it isn't proper server thus point proven.

# I believe
it is the proper server, but by another name. It's the name that is unofficial, not the server. The server hosting the blocked image will be checking the http_referer field in the http request for the image. If it sees that the page the request came from is www.b3ta.com/board, or another of the ones on the list, it will serve it. In this case, it won't be, so it doesn't.

edit - www.b3ta.com and www.thewoo.com both resolve to the same ip address. It is indeed the same server.

# probably just
an elaborate way for someone to get past a work firewall. I managed to get b3ta unblocked just by asking. I guess others aren't so lucky!
