Dizzy the dragon egg hatches?

That's the one where Dizzy suddenly bursts open to reveal a cute baby dragon.

May or may not be Hentai.

Did you never play Taito's seminal arcade classing Hotlinking?

Hotlink. The X-Rated sequel to Uplink.

This is how it was intended to look like:

No, it isn't. Werewolves are not undead. They're lycanthropes (though I'm not really sure that picture is a wolf. Maybe the thread is a theriantrope instead.).

Why do people post pictures on the internet and then get snotty if you try to link to them?
I mean, I can understand this with huge photo files from photographers because that's how they make their living (although why a photographer would post a full-size image of a photo that's for sale is beyond me), but getting snarky over a screenshot from an ancient computer game seems a little...rude.
I also understand the concept of "copyright", but isn't it being a little nit-picky to try to copyright a screenshot of a game you've played, but didn't have any part in creating?
Just wondering...

Because it is their bandwidth you are using, and they paid for it.

Basically they are complaining about is that you steal their bandwidth, making them have to pay more money. Taking pictures without asking is another story altogether.

Scott - it may not be the pics themselves. If you copied them to your PC and then uploaded them to photobucket or whatever, it probably would be okay. But when you link to their site, you're using their bandwidth for your purposes, and bandwidth can be expensive. When you use photobucket - you are using their bandwidth, not the origin site's. Did I make that clear or confuse you more?

If I had a website I'd just upload all my images to photobucket instead, that way I'd save on my own bandwidth costs and hotlinking wouldn't be an issue.

I was right there with you until the next to last sentence.
So it's about the link itself, and not the image that gets linked to? That makes a lot more sense.
Thank you for clearing that up for me.

And now that Scott has been taught for today this thread has served its purpose. Let it die kiddos (and not-so-kiddos).
