Well quit sending me bogus referrer information, or soon you won't be able to see IMAGES.

A few days ago I set to stopping people from stealing the Cellar's bandwidth. First thing I found was that there are actually sites out there that are steaing our SMILIES. And using them as their own!

So as of a few days ago, non-cellar.org referrers don't get smilies.

They need to steal 'em fair and square, just like you did ...

oh, or do you mean that they are linking directly to them?

To be fair, I did link to some off-site smilies when I was poking fun at them during the original discussion about turning them off. But I suspect the cellar population didn't put a dent in those servers!!

Yes, other sites have actually specified Cellar URLs pointing to Cellar smilies and are using them as THEIR smilies. Their forum, their users, their messages... and the smilies in them are coming from cellar.org.

Some other sites links to IotDs directly. I figured I would start with the smilies, see who complains. Wolf found her firewall blocking referrers. Referrers are useful information to send along, are not a terrible privacy concern and IMO should not be blocked but it's up to y'all.

i doubt they'll complain, you'd have to be a pretty stupid admin to see you had little ground to stand on.

yeah and the bottom line is that's just the way the Internet works. When you have control of a network you can block anybody you want from accessing it for any reason you want.

For a while you should have just mixed them up for non-cellar referrals.
