So I was checking the stats for my image hosting account, and I noticed a particular site has been hotlinking all the images I used in the Wii emulator sticky.
A bit of googling and it turns out they are being used on the so called "Ultimate wii emulator archive." Hmm...
The poster didn't ask if they could link to the images and they didn't even credit gbatemp as a source.

What makes it worse is that the bandwidth/thread thief is also a 'temper. Son I am disappoint.

TL;DR - Hotlink payback was inevitable

You should've linked to ROM sites, GIF porn & rulebreaking stuff so the admins think that guy did it

The links I swapped were all .png so I couldn't use my army of oversized animated gifs this time.
I read their forum rules and they are supposedly kid friendly so I held back on the nasty prons (I'm nice, honest!)
I'm glad I've generated some lulz before any sign of a white knight! Thanks guys.
GBATEMP FO' LIFE BITCHES!

EDIT: @naglaro00 - the site's name is in the top left of pic. I just checked and they haven't noticed yet - nearly 24 hours lol

Best payback ever. Maybe you want to use a javascript handler that disables right-clicking, or disables hotlinking... Most people are not good with HTML or JS anyways.
Greasemonkey eats those scripts like they are bananas

I put in that sentence on purpose, most people who make those guides are not that good with HTML themselves, so there's little chance that they use greasemonkey, righttoclick or something similar. If they were, they wouldn't rip all the images and they would just ask the owner for permission.
