Strider Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just so you guys know please check the images on this site as they are using other peoples images as their own without permission http://simonevirtual....altervista.org I have had to remove hotlinking of images so that the images do not work on their site. I would suggest you guys do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators simpilot Posted July 1, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I like refering them to the image i want them to see, adding this in your htaccess file will redirect their link to the image you want them to see. RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?DOMAINYOUAREBLOCKING.COM [NC] RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ PATH/TO/YOUR/IMAGE/FROM/ROOT.png [L] I usually send them to my "I Love Simpilotgroup.com" image for a while then to my "Host Your Own ....... Images" one if they dont get the hint. It looks like you may have put a global block on your site as your sig image is not found as well. The above method is good as it allows legit hotlinks to still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mark1million Posted July 1, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I block all hotlinking except for sites that i want, heavily reduces bandwidth as well. Going one step further with simpilots post you can create the rewrite rule to your own image saying if you feel you have a legitimate cause to hotlink then contact me. That way i can add them to the list of allowed sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OA01 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Some people don't know that many hosting companies offer "Hotlink" protection. This is usually accessed from your C-Panel. I have it activated for all image files and .zip files. It redirects them to a html page telling them to pi** off and do their own work!

Strider Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 please keep this pg and no saying you will redirect them to some adult content web site. As some of these guys are around 14/15 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
