Backstabber

Hohohoho,

I was not amused when I looked at my logs this month to see that 1.4GB of my transfer allowance was used on a single image. A little bit of detective work allowed me to figure out some guy was using it as his avatar on a forum linking directly to my site (i.e. I was paying for his avatar to be displayed).

I had to sign up to the forum in question to find who was using it. So a little pondering and a google search and I had all I need. A quick rename of the image he was linking to to a new image and everything was in place. Just time for a small post on his forum:

Which meant his profile then displayed:

And just to check one of his 4000+ posts (he posts 6 times a day apparently):

Loooking around the Internet for a cool avatar…….. 30 minutes
Bandwidth to send said avatar to your mates……….. 1.4GB
Having all your peers think you’ve turned gay……… priceless

EDIT:

Seems the guy has a sense of humour. I suppose he must do to like wrestling!

As seen on slashdot

So there was a discussion about the World Cup on Slashdot today.

It of couse came to the point about discussing what “football” is. i.e. the game using your feet instead of your hands and then this gem of a conversation happened:

UK Guy:
Funny, actually most of the world knows World Cup but not many know super bowl or world series. By the way you do realize that “world” in world series is a cruel joke right? oh well…

USA Guy:
Oh, we know. Every year we invite you foreign buttholes, try to make nice, put all our differences aside for a friendly game, but do you show up? No. We just sit here all by ourselves with our “Go France” foam fingers and cry into our beer that no one showed up for our party, so we scrimmage and go home, and then you guys wonder why we bomb the shit out of you.

Real nice, World. Real nice.
