Turning up the heat on the bandwidth thief

Well it’s been over 24 hours since I identified the ‘bandwidth theft‘ occurring on one of my other sites. It was the first time I’d found this happening, so I thought I’d conduct an experiment, firstly, to see what sort of images I could display on the offending site, and secondly, to see how long it would go on for before the dumb ass responsible figured out what was happening. Well that was 24 hours ago, my bandwidth theft images were still online, so, I’ve decided to raise the bar a little.

Five minutes ago, I replaced my bandwidth theft banners with all new, possibly even more disturbing, bandwidth theft banners. As you can see from the screen shot below, I decided to stick with an “animal” theme.

Yup, two rhinos humping, and a set of massive bull balls. All class. I’ve done the .htaccess research, so I’ll fix that up soon, in the meantime, I think I’ll leave the offender with the bull balls for a little longer.

As an aside, I’ve also learned another very valuable lesson from all this. Never do a Google image search for “bull balls” with “safe search” switched off.
