[The Barrow-Wight]

As has been stated elsewhere in topics devoted to images, it is important that those members who do use images in their posts do not download them directly from another site (hotlinking is what I call it). That is to say, any image you intend to add to your posts must reside on a space owned and controlled by you. If the image resides on someone else's space (ie. ninecompanions.net or any other site), then you may not use it in your posts on the Barrow-Downs. The reason for this is that every time a hotlinked image is viewed, its size is deducted from the owners bandwidth limit (if they have one), and if their limit is low, they may end up getting charged extra by their site host or even have their site shut down. Obviously, we don't want that to happen, so please do not hotlink images.

Thanks
