Well here's a bit of netiquette which I (ignorant user that I am) was completely unaware of and am one of the worst culprits of on this board

I've been merrily linking remotely to images not realising that it wasn't polite until I was brought up short by this one

hamsterrepublic.com/img/vlad-if-you-like-this-pic-so-much-then-host-a-copy-of-it-yourself-and-stop-remotely-linking-to-it-you-silly-goth-hamsters.png

OK, so I'm a silly goth hamster :oops:

I've since been told that it's not nice because it uses somebody elses bandwidth and you should really use your own. Am I the only person who didn't know this?

So, when I have time I'm going to host all those pictures of sexy stars which I posted in the sexiest stars thread (why did I post so many :roll: )

Out of interest, can anybody tell me just how damaging it is to have people remotely link to your images?

Also as an aside, on Lexx.com, we're not allowed to post an inline picture over 30K and they're pretty strict on that on the whole. Do we need a similar rule here because I've noticed some pretty large ones.
