David,
You fucked up!
After talking to many webmasters I've decided that it was better to remove the post as there is a slim chance that it was all a mistake. Though know well that not all webmasters that I spoke to were in a forgiving mood.
My advice is lose those little gif's of yours so you don't ever do this again as chances are people won't be so forgiving the second time around.
The biggest thing in your favour is that you've been around for a long time and people trust you and there is no conceivable reason why you'd expect you'd get away with it.
All other threads regarding this topic will be removed.

Rimmer...
Thanks for the post. I really appreciate it.
I realize that people get pissed off when cheating takes place. I think we've all had our fair share of cheating and it blows. You have to babysit your server and spend time and money fixing it.
For this, I apologize. My stupid mistake of not uploading a file to my web server caused me a lot of time, money and most importantly my reputation.
I have already fixed the problem, and will be sending hits back to people over the next few days.
However, my link at the bottom of *all* my web sites will remain, simply because linking multiple sites together has a benficial effect for search engine. Do a search for "teen pics" on excite.com. I have 2 sites in the top 10 and 2 more in the top 20. It pays off. The links were not the problem. The problem was with me...not paying attention. It was also my impatience that made me overlook all the possibilities of server redirection.
In short, I fucked up. Bad. My partners no doubt saw the huge returns from teen-thumbnails.com.
I am still feeding it a lot of hits and will continue to do so because I am dedicated to making my sites successful.
I am not a cheater, even though you may have no reason to believe me. I can only give you my word...I hope it's good enough. Feel free to contact me if you want...

Everyone - I just want to apologize for all the trouble I've caused.
What I learned today is that little mistakes can kill you. My actions today caused my partners, the people I trade with, thousands of hits and a lot of frustration. If I double checked my work and thought things through this might not have happened. I've seen guys loose thousands of dollars from a sponsor for not double checking their pop-up console code... The point is, I fucked up.
I have removed all the extra links from all the index pages of my 4 script sites, and 404 errors are being redirected to my home page. I hope that my partners (new and old) still want to trade hits because...it's fun and this is why I quit my day job.

I just wanted to say when i saw Rimmer had removed the thread I was P****d off I thought what the hell is the point of having this board if things are removed.
Then I stopped and thought for a bit the point of this board is not find kill and destory and I am as guilty if not more guilty of using the board for that.
The idea of the board/forum is make a stronger place for us to work and to enable us to build bonds and trust I was 100% impressed by the Rimmer reacted he did not mess about he acted quickly and did what was best for the group as a whole well done rimmer and all involed.
There is a few good lesson to be taken from this
1) Mistakes can be VERY costly and we all have to take care with what we do
2) One good thing did come out of this if David had been cheating, I personally now believe he was not he is just an idiot (-: he would of been looking for a new job with 24 hours of being noticed
That is the point of the board to protect those of us that are using trading to make our living My hat is off to everyone involved and well done on a good job give yourselves a pat on the back
Happy trading
