1. Yes, the number of sites that prohibit hotlinking is growing, indeed.
The Preview button is your friend. Luckily, we didn't get to see goatse or some other rude image.

4. You can create a new image by using the original images URL
at http://imgur.com then copying the IMG UR link here.

10. I just finished writing a wordpress plugin...
...that grabs images you are trying to hotlink, downloads them to your own wordpress media library (so you aren't leeching someone else's bandwidth), and gives credit to the site where you got the image.

I was planning on making it available sometime today.

12. That's awesome.
That would be an incredibly handy gadget to have. Kudos to you for conceiving and creating such a thing.

14. Thanks. It's actual intended purpose is something else entirely...
...but I figured if you want to use it to hotlink images, why not add those images to your own library? Your site would probably load faster and you would sleep better in the knowledge that you are not possibly costing someone you'll probably never meet money.

Like I said, I'll be going through all the hoops to make it publicly available today. If anyone wants to know when it's available, PM me. It's free BTW.

DogKnob Quotes is yet another random quotes plugin, but I added a bunch of features (like optional images) that I hadn't found in others.

Also, there are already some plugins available that do nothing but add hotlinks to your media library. There aren't many because wordpress has virtually no documentation on how to do this.

15. That would be useful to many people.
I have unlimited bandwith at my web-hosting company, so it's no problem for me to host images I want to post.

17. I'd have to say...
that if you DON'T have unlimited STORAGE at least... you are doing business with the wrong people.

19. That doesn't mean much to the unemployed or underemployed
or people who work at 24/7 workplaces for little money.

If I were closer, I'd be there.

I was declared uninsurable in 1987 and I still have no access to health insurance. I'm the 99%

8. I could tell you that just by the number of trolls I've seen turn up on this message
board the past few days. They are definitely getting nervous ... and I hope they all put 1% signs in their windows. It's good to know where they are.
