Mntsnow's System Info

I hacked them

j/k

They were/are HOT-LINKING images off my server without permission. Instead of using their own bandwidth to host the image they were link it to my images on my server thus when someone visits their page it uses MY bandwidth.

So I just edited the files and changed my image links to look/pull from ones that was/are not altered

dang! da Snowman hath no mercy upon the unwitting Darwinians.

Mr. Snowman, sir, will they forever be locked in the House of Shame? Or is there yet a penance they may perform so that their honor may be regained?

Oh the shame.~~~


that reminds me, I gotta check my logs........

Or put a pic up with a mobo that has a big burned spot on it and some swollen capacitors. Then write On Sale! over the top of it in red. :p

NeoStarO1's System Info

It appears to me that computerparts usa does a lot of hotlinking rather than finding the pics and downloading a copy of the pics and put it in thier web folders so it can be housed on thier own server where they have thier webpage at.

was going through a bunch of them. that is what it appears. doing alot of HREF's with hot imagages.

someone needs to learn the basic fundamentals of web designing.
