edit: not .htaccess blocking certian referers. i mean stoppign people on the board leeching bandwidth

# In some cases I think it's okay.
E.g. leaching off the BBC, say, is fine as they won't notice the difference. Same with CNN and other big sites.

# Not really
cos this site isn't just a random caption competition.

# True.
But you might want to borrow a picture for example to illustrate a point within a thread.

# Fair point,
but I still think it best to work on the basis of all leeching is bad - if only to gain the moral high ground.

# Actually
now I think about it, in Britain we pay for the Beeb's bandwidth, so that probably makes it fair play...

# I think Baz is talking more
about illustrating points mid thread when we're talking about current events or something. Not much point saving and hosting a bbc or sky news pic just for that.

This is different, this is just silly.

# I think there are two issues going on...
1) stealing bandwidth

2) posting a piccy you havent made/or altered

# WAR CRIMINAL!
So i'm not allowed to post anything that I haven't made myself? If I had linked the page rather than the picture, the context would have been lost. Being responsible is good, but being a pedant is just not fluffy.

# That would have been okay.
If either the picture or the caption had been funny.

well my friend, why not summon the power of html to highlight your point!!!

# In a new thread like that?
I would say no you can't post anything you haven't made (linkies excluded).

As I said above, this place isn't a caption competition.

# Waaaah!
Yeah, I thought about the bandwidth issue, but I dare say that they don't rightly give a poo about it. I knew someone would bring it up. I obviously wouldn't do the same to a small personal site, I'm not an animal!

www.oneeyedwilly.co.uk - feel free to leach your asses off.

# The point he's making
isn't the bandwidth issue though, is it?
