Seems like you're just hotlinking an entire site's contents anyway. Hosters don't really appreciate that sort of thing.
What Reggie are you in a bad mood or something? Any time the mods want this thread shut down is fine with me since hosters apparently don't appreciate that sort of thing.

Not at all, just a heads up. It's the originating site that usually objects to their bandwidth being taken.

One, two pictures might slip notice. Dozens and dozens not so much.

I'm enjoying them, and so is everyone else...? Seems to be a rather popular thread.

Keep up the good work McG!

And you asked for folks to post their own original content.

I think the thread has pretty much run its course when it consists primarily of hotlinked updates from that site. It's become post-padding.

What does post padding do anyway? We have blocks. I don't trust someone just because they have another block. Anyway, if they don't like hotlinking, then it shouldn't be done. It does have their watermarks though.

Well it's been going strong for a couple of months now, and I've seen no one complain about it but you, dude. And if you're not a mod, then don't visit the thread anymore if you don't like it. It's pretty simple.

No, I think it should be locked.

Go to the original site for your LOLCat needs.

Well would you have problem with it if anyone other than McG was posting the pics? He's doing a nice job of keeping the lot of us entertained who appreciate his posts. Now you're just borderline trolling man, lighten up! Sheesh...

Last time there was a lot of hotlinking, the site was sued. Not that it'll happen again, but it's still probably a practice that should be avoided.

Just saying.

I'm pretty sure icanhascheezburger.com is one of the most linked-to sites in the world right now, I alone turned up 12,700 inbound links to that site.

This thread is one of many, MANY forum threads out there that are doing the same thing.

I'm not concerned about other forums.

Excessive hotlinking is considered bad form.

Well, is starting up a thread on "which Flame to bring back" and belittling it, even though it's a popular topic, considered good form as well?

Popularity isn't the issue. Bandwidth-stealing is.

Alright that's about enough of that...

I don't see any request on the lolcats site asking people to not hotlink their images. It would be polite though if you are posting a picture to at least rehost it on a free image hosting service.

Otherwise the points have been made, move along.
