Freehost allowing hotlinking?

[Hypo]

Anyone know of a freehost (adult or non-adult) that would allow hotlinking of images? I need to put the recip files in one directory someplace as its a pain uploading them all everytime I get a new account.

[Cyber-Fantasy]

MUhahahaha

[Labret]

I second that Muahahahaah

[eRock]

I third it....

[Hypo]

Glad to have given all of you a good laugh but.. there must be one of these hosts left still. Earlier geocities used to work, now it doesnt http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

[sexxring]

Use my free host and you can do all that you want!

www.pornhost.tv (http://www.pornhost.tv)
off course ya cant hotlink,
you actually have to USE my host.

[Labret]

I have a novel idea...

Its pretty insane, but hear me out.

Pay for your own bandwidth.

[Hypo]

Well laugh all you want but I have the last laugh, because (hold your breaths) I found one!!!!!! Yeth, 10 MBs space and hotlink all ya want (at least it works for now)!!!

[eRock]

Oh my God! Labret has the right idea! Actually, that would be considered NOT stealing. What a novel idea! I mean, I know hotlinkers are on the top of my "favorite-people" list, but maybe try something new, huh!?

[Hypo]

There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing. Nowhere on that website rules does it says I cant link to an image file in my account from someplace else. Hotlinking is when you link to a file not belonging to you. Here I'm linking to my file uploaded by me in my account provided to me by a freehost.

[eRock]

Thanks for clearing that up for me...

[Labret]

How long do you think before you get caught?

Exactly how does a freehost benefit from you hotlinking? Their bandwidth bill goes up and they receive no traffic in return. Wow... sweet fucking deal!

How hard is it to pay for bandwidth on a damn gallery? Is your traffic that damn bad that you cant afford your own bandwidth?

[Labret]

AND, if your so cheap you cant afford bandwidth... I have another 20 bucks says that you do not own the images you are hotlinking.

Your in the wrong business. Seriously.

[tooldini]

hypo ,, Porncity used to allow it,, but I don't they do anymore,, I used to run multiple streets from them and had all recip buttons on one street,,but I think they have changed that..

tooldini

[Hypo]

Labret, I'm only putting my recip files in there, not my gallery images and that wont increase their bandwidth even remotely. I just need a place that will allow me to link to the recips no matter where I upload my galleries, because uploading 386 files everytime I change my freehost was driving me crazy. I could have placed the recips on my own server, but there's a reason I dont do that, not bandwidth reasons. I'm not breaking any rules, and if that webhost is stupid enough not to know enough to block hotlinking then I'll consider myself stupid not to take advantage of it. They mention - 10 MB free storage space for you, and I'm glad to oblige.

Tooldini, Lightning Free allows linking of the files from any of their accounts, but not from outside. Everytime I tried another freehost it rquired me to upload all recips just to try it out for a day or two.

[wolfshade]

Matter of time untill your account gets deleted.

You're stealing bandwidth from your freehost.

So it IS STEALING!

Wolfshade

[gse]

Hypo,
get your dedicated and hotlink as much as you want. It's not that hard to pay for your bandwith, especcially if you are in adult biz, or are you not?

[Due]

3 recips. 7 KB average. that is 21 KB. 21 KB get 100K hits that is 2100000 KB. 2 GB per day average. That is mayby $120 to $180 you are STEALING from a free host per month.
What if 10 other people are doing the same that is $1200-$1800 per month they are loosing in income because of dickheads like you. You think that is ok?
Here is another example.
What if you someday forget to lock your bicycle while you are shopping is it ok for someone to steal it then? (I use a bicycle as a example because I can't imagine you are old enough to have a car)
Is it OK to hack someone because they have a netbus virus and you can?

[Hypo]

Yout analogies don't quite cut it. Stealing a bike is illegal. Hacking is illegal. What I'm doing is not illegal. My analogy would be someone opens an eat-all-you-can place and I sit there eating from morning to night till he decides the rules should be changed a bit. I'm just being an opportunist. Dont use the word 'Steal' as its a Free Host and they invite us to put our files in there (I saw their ad in a newspaper - 10 MBs free for life!). I'm sure if I let out the url half the people in here would rush to get 20 accounts each there. Anyway its a huge company with their hompages being just a minor part of the whole portal, and hopefully they wont notice this small bandwidth loss. It's real fast!

Stealing bandwidth is illegal.
If you read their TOS I'm sure they say they will provide you free webspace and bandwidth in exchange for displaying their banners / advertising

[Hypo]

Stealing bandwidth may be illegal, but I'm only using the bandwidth alloted to the acount I *legally* signed up for. Their TOS does not mention either their banners or ads or anything related to hotlinking or bandwidth anywhere, I read it through again just now.

[shane94]

If it is such a small amount why not PAY for it! Geees what a cheapo. Can I hot link some shit off your server too? Don't worry about it because it is not *stealing* lol

Hey Hypo,

If you're so convinced you're right why don't we put it to the test.

Post the freehost here and we can ask if it's ok what you're doing http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I mean if your that sure it's fully within the terms of their TOS you can safely post their URL here, but I bet you're to chicken to do that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Wolfshade

[Hypo]

Shane, I'll agree with you I'm a cheapo if thats what saving a 100 bucks is.

Wolfshade, all I'm saying is I'm legal and within their rules, they cant take any action on me. However, if I post the url here one of you is bound to email them about this and then they'll shut off the hotlinking. Wouldnt want that, would I? Nor do I want a 1000 other webmasters posting their galleries in there and getting everything adult shut off from there..

[Mr Exotic]

I cannot believe I am even reading this shit.

[mukoh]

Whoever wants to hotlink to freehost images is a simple idiot that doesn't know how a freehost works or makes money.

[lynch1000s]

Hypo, I understand where you're coming from, not all of us have an extra 100 dollars to spend. But I can assure you that no free hosting company will allow you to hotlink adult images. I'm positive of that. And most free hosting companies have software and scripts that track hotlinking.

Anyways, if any free hosting company allowed hotlinking of adult images, then everyone on this board would know about it.

[Pinox]

Hypo... imagine this.. Suppose your site is a TGP and all your submitters are hotlinking your reciprocal from your server... Know that they never submit to one TGP but severals, Make your calculation... if you have 20 submitters, and all 20 getting each 100K a day from the TGPs... damn.. thats shit. Your reciprocal is about 5K x 100.000 = 500.000Kb = 0.5gig (from one submitter) x 20 = 10gIG a day. And freehosts has many more users than 20.. Get the point.. I mean, i know sure theres not one freehost that allow that. And if there isone who does then i dont think he knows the bussiness very well.

When my site whas a TGP and someone whas hotlinking the reciprocal from my surfer, well then it whas war. Hotlinking is farout one of the biggest taboes in the pornbizz..

For Free hosting You have to go to:

Hotlinking ? Shit, NO WAY!

[shane94]

Still cAn I have your url so i can hotlink from your server? So I can do to you what you are doing to them?

Come on I don't get that much traffic now (=

Shane

[Hypo]

Hmm, I'm starting to look real bad. Alright, here's what I'm doing - Firstly, I'm talking about the recips for galleries I make for submission, not the recips for my TGP for use by gallery makers. Most of my galleries are at Lightningfree, and the recips are there as well. No hotlinking required there.

But right now I'm trying out new adult freehosts, trying each for a couple of days to see how it goes, speed etc. I'd have to upload all recips to each host just to test the site out. So for the time being I'm using the freehost hotlinked recips for convenience. When I finally decide on a host I'll upload all the recips there instead of hotlinking them. The freehost would suffer some bandwidth loss for the testing period, but very minor, I hope. Maybe I should have put them on my server, but my host charges 12$ per gig overuse over 5 GB. I know, I should change hosts, and I will soon.

As for the freehosting company, it's a big non-US portal that does allow (or at least does not actively stop) hotlinking and adult content. Its webhosting is a very tiny part of the site and mostly not used because of no ftp and 10 MBs space. Which is probably why no one here has heard of them.

Shane, my server is not a free host, so you cant put your stuff in there to hotlink. But if you want to hotlink my images, you should know I'm such a cheapo I only put those sponsor ads that allow me to hotlink them, like the ones from AP. Can't bear to part with more money than I absolutely have to to stay legal. Maybe when I'm earning $10,000 a month like you guys I'll allow you your own personal hotlinking section on my server..

[Rod]

Hypo ....youmre such an idiot!
Webmasters that hotlink from free servers just STEAL their bandwith even if it,s not written in the fucking therms!

Ther terms are there for idiots...If you would know about this biz, you would never do that, nor you would say that it is not illegal.

When you will earn 10k$ a month, like you said in your previous post, will you be enough *smart* to give all your money to your server host because everybody is hotlinking your shit?

Damn...lemme know when you'll be big...I'll save some big 15 minutes videos on your server, and give them away on galleries!

Then you'll know what we are talking about...

I recommend you to change business man...maybe try the warez shit?

http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

[shane94]

Damn Hypo talk about over paying for hosting!
I am charging 3.99-4.99 per gig with packages starting as low as 29.99 for 6gig and 50 mb of space. Hit me on ICQ at 59662549 and I will set you up (=

Shane

[gse]

$3.99-4.99 per gig?
we get $1 per gig ...

[XP]

you guys forgot one thing http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
freehosts using their connection. Like dedicated 10mbps
so they're not paying for extra bandwith http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

if anyone doesn't eats bandwith, they're giving thoushands dollars for nothing right?

I'm not supporting hypho, but you're all to exaggerate this event...

and gse: you say 1$ / gb. Whats your url of webhosting?

[gse]

XP,
we don't do webhosting for the public, at least not yet. Just some webmasters who chose to be our own ISP. Last year achieved about 99% uptime (setup times not counted). Speed and reliability - that what counts. Direct cross-connect to tier1 upstream, no loop, dedicated bustable lines, etc, etc.
Lot of fun, lol

[Doctor Dre]

LMAO

[Hypo]

XP, you the man! I was wondering when someone was going to state the obvious http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif And these are the big guys, servers spread over the country, millions visits everyday, free streaming audio-video. I'm sure the other visitors wont notice any slowdown because of me.

Shane thanks for the offer. I'm still looking into the new hosts, prohosters is ultracheap (like me) but I read some reports on their downtimes. I have yet to make up my mind.

[XP]

hey Hypo
take a look this
