Mr-t

Have you ever had your bandwith stolen by hot-linking?

Last Summer I posted an item called a “euro-blog-star”. For fun, I included a library picture of Mr-t, of the “A Team”. This found its way onto Google images. Since then dozens of cool dudes have hot-linked to it as their id on various online forums. One writes in German on a site called “Battlefield”. Others are chatting to their mates in street-language . At first I didn’t mind, because the bandwidth is neither here nor there. But now it’s got out of hand and our visitor stats are completely distorted by it. The Euro Blog Star Post is our most viewed page.

So i’ve changed the Mr-t picture to a bunny rabbit who is now the star of the Battlefield forum and various chat-rooms around the world. I wonder if Mopsy the rabbit will prove as popular as Mr-t?
