I think changing it so the images couldn't be hotlinked would probably be a good idea, who knows how many people are leeching your bandwidth without your knowledge.

i must confess that i was on their site once but i thought it sucked (my personal opinion about the layout they use) and went away ... but i also think that such peeps like over there are just lamers because theyre just flaming other sites and people ...

i REALLY think that those freako's of romshrine shouldnt flame anyone because if your not answering to a msg like the one from opium in any way your not up to making any good conversation with anyone ...

goddamn... how i hate such things!!


we should simply report those fags to nintendo ...

LOL I can't believe that this topic was started by that hypocrite Shady. For those who didn't know, Shady & Shadyroms were leeching our pictures also. They aren't anymore, they are just leeching (with permission) from Linkergba now.

I thing I was thinking is if they do this with us maybe they done this with another site before (or will do after us)....Stealing bandwidth is bad for a site like this, i can undertand for some big game site like gamefaq to link to other site insted of creating milion of useless pages but for a small site like this (and I hate it BTW...)

I have permission to use the linkergba ones from the owner. the Gbatemp I'm sorry about that a co-staff used em. But as soon as Opium told me to take them out I respected that request and did exactly that. It's all about respect. Flaming other sites on your own is kinda retarded in my opinion cause 1= they advertise the site they hate
2= its onprofessional and childish. The members probably see that.

anyways the fact is that they are still leeching the pics. I say learn form your mistakes. They just don;t seem to get it....

This has to be stopped, they are our images, made by our good old regular newsposters, hosted on OUR bandwith, OUR webspace and LEECHED onto their crappy little leecher site.
Oh and having "Pictures from GBATemp" below them, doesnt not make them leechers, they are trying to justify theft.
Regarding my earlier post:

I thought they saved the pics and then uploaded them to their own site. I guess I should have checked closer. Sorry about that.

I Totally agree with you mole.

As I said before, those pics are linked to gbarelam. Although it is obvious that the actual pictures came from us, it doesn't matter since it isn't stealing our bandwidth.

Well, regardless of whether they are or aren't hotlinking, shouldn't GBATemp set itself up so that it's not able to be hotlinked anyway? Saves the bandwidth for all of us forum-sucking leechers instead!

Ok i can see Shady has caused some problems (again).. There have been sometimes where i have not been able to take the latest pics, so therefor i used the ones taken from GBAtemp, i downloaded them and uploaded them to my own webspace (gbarealm.com) .. What happened here was a single thing, it was one of the members who where posting the latest roms, and simply did not know. I have now changed the permissions so it wont happen again.. I dont get why you guys get so excited, GBAtemp is like the most popular gba forum out there, and lots of places use pictures from gbatemp. Why make thousands of diff pics for the same rom, why not share instead (not hotlinking of course, bandwidth isnt free)... its the same news anyways...

To Shady: Dont post crap on RomShrine anymore, people dont care about your place..

Regards, KaYaZ (Administrator @ RomShrine)

Shady what you did to us (even though it was intended a personal attack on someone other than me) still destroyed all of the work that I had put into that place, that's a lot of work. Also GBA2002. We had worked very hard and you for your own petty reasons decide that it's okay to do a little tit for tat and ruin a whole heap of other people work in the process is not acceptable. it's childish. No matter how many times you say sorry it will never make it right.

The guy (shady) thinks its fun to ruin peoples stuff, he hacked my mates msn ident, and he started to act like him and talked with his gf (the gf is 14), he got her to flash her breasts, and he took snapshots of it and uploaded the pics to his site so he could tell people to watch em... did i mention shady is 18?... he is showing pictures of an 14 year old half naked.......... do i have to say more?? yes thats right, its seen as "childporn"...

Nuff' said..

Shady, your such a loser... Coming here bringing dirt on others, while you leeched pics yourself... Damn your such a hypocrit.. I know the story between you an KaYaZ,... and i know KaYaZ, hes a great guy, he always help me and we are pretty good friends..... what have kayaz done to deserve such things??? i'd bet, nothin.... Keep hacking each other wont help a thing... i think that you (shady) should appologise to KaYaZ for gbarealm and the other, and then appologise to all the ones who was members on gbarealm to... and then help them build something up again, WITHOUT taking ANY credit for it....
