Hot linking is when you just use the address of an image hosted elsewhere on the web to display. This is fine when it's your site but to take it without asking is not very friendly as serving all the people loading the image costs money. Also, if someone were to get annoyed with the use of images from their site, it is very, very simple to change the image to something rather rudeSorry to go of topic but I'm not techy so could you explain what a hot link is please?Do Something Amazing - Give Blood0 -

I think if a webmaster noticed a spike in traffic loading one image they could act significantly faster than that if they had the inclination.
