It's happening to me right now with one particular forum
and I've been unable to track it down for various reasons. If I could identify the image I'd just rename it to break the link... I'm not interested in being nasty about it and normally I don't care, but we're talking about thousands of hits and I'm starting to get concerned about bandwidth.

does your stats page not have a 'referers' section?

Oh yeah
that's not the problem... I know what forum it is, and they've racked up 16,099 hits this month so far. The problem is that when I go to the referring URLs, there aren't any of my images there... I've searched dozens of their pages. I just can't figure out what image they're using, and because my image server is a windows machine, I can't block their domain.

I had this problem on a windoze server
the answer is to use a .ashx file (generic http handler) and check the http referrer before calling Response.WriteFile
then store all your images in the App_Data folder where they can't be linked
