i did not hotlink anything. hotlinking means to steal someones bandwidth by displaying a servers content outside of the site it is hosted on (without permission). that was a direct link you samefaced retards. if you are going to use the term you might as well know what it means. yes it now links to goatse but how could i have known that ? i refreshed and cleared cache and saw nothing. christ what a load of arseholes.

you could start a pointless thread having a go at people who have a problem with being goatse'd as a result of your clumsiness.
oh.

and your drawings are ace too. But it's best not to take it personally and start posting self referential links in an attempt for justice.
People got pissed at the goatse, not at you per se. No one is going to remember you as the-guy-who-posted-a-goatse - unless of course you start a campaign on /links and keep stirring the issue. Move on and it'll fade away.

why would i link to a 'dont hotlink goatse' picture.
possible answer 1 - i have never seen goatse before and i thought it was the only one out there. i posted it thinking people should see it. not realising the rules about not posting NSFW images.
possible answer 2 - i deliberately wanted to link to a shock site. after 5 years or whatever of being on b3ta. just because thats the kind of guy i am.
now neither of those are likely or make sense. if someone had just said there was a mistake i would have deleted it. but instead i go to bed and a load of n00bs start talking a load shit. i think i'm pretty justified in calling them out on it.

because you made a mistake, it's the people who complained's fault?

Possible answer 3 - you ballsed up, and instead of admitting it you hit out at everyone else, like a parent whose kid has killed someone and is now blaming it on the 18-Cert. game they bought him.

you're at great risk of sounding like a complete nob. "but the more you think about it. the better i come out of the whole thing" - no, you - you - made a mistake. End of. Don't try to make yourself out to be a martyr.
Also, n00bs is such a fucking lame term to use in this - and frankly any - case. There are plenty of 'n00bs' who contribute a lot more to /links that you do.

...maybe you should have *checked* the image when people started responding negatively to it?
I guess the site owner doesn't like you DEEPlinking direct to his pics and stealing his bandwidth.

it's not possible to link to random ftw page directly. because of the code in the website it generates a random page each time.
as i say. i checked a number of times and didn't get a goatse image. if someone had simply pointed it out i would have taken it down.

So, I have no sympathy, because I just looked up a man's fucking arsehole, again.
so STFU.

by Kung Fu Ross, 37 minutes after your post. Yet here we are, nearly 12 hours later, your link still pointing to redirected Goatse.
Let this be a lesson to you. Some poeple don't like hot- or deep-linking, and have the wherewithall to make the people who do it look like fools. You said it yourself: "it's not possible to link to random ftw page directly". This should have been a clue.

Step 1: Find a random ftw page you want to link to
Step 2: Click Prev
Step 3: Click Next
You now have a valid link.
Step 4 (optional): Pull your head out of your arse

so I had no idea what happened. Now you have thoughtfully drawn my attention to your fuck up and acted like a spoilt kid who had received some criticism.
Good work.

i mean... the hypocrisy is pretty damn evident when in the same week one of the most popular /links was to that daily fail hotlinking goatse thing.
Some people need to remember that this is b3ta, not the my-little-pony forums... mistakes happen and life goes on - live with it and grow the fuck up!
