Awe, Poor Svetti! I'm so sorry your sick. You were adorably sweet at Otakon, and it was nice finally getting to meet you! I absolutely LOVE your accent. Your work's got me so excited about October.

Thanks, crispy >^___^< Being sick won't last for long! It's usually 7 days for a cold and the allergies are only until first snow, so maybe a couple of months.
Also: my accent appreciates the compliment. Its self-esteem is very low as I constantly berate its existence LOL
And it was great to meet you, too! You weren't kidding--you really do sit all kinds of weird. ;D I'm not the only one, yay!

Oh no!! Your accent was pretty wow!! Accents are cool and as accents go, your's is pretty WOW in all the good ways! My father used to have a southern accent. He reverts back to it from time to time when he goes down south. I don't know why he ever gave it up.
Hope you get better soon. I know what it is like to suffer from allergies. ;-P

*blush* Way to make my day LOL
Allergies make me want to trade my nose back in for a proper one, ugh. What do you take for those? I use Claritin, but lately it's not doing the job very well -___-

You should ask John the Artist how to stop leechers. He has that thing on his website that prevents it. I'll bet he could hook you up.

Now, of course, you have TENS of THOUSANDS of fans in Japan, all pirating your stuff and selling it at marked up prices... hmmmm come to think of it, I do have that cleavage photo you posted from your Halifax visit... I don't suppose any of those japanese fans would be interested in that.......

It's a Godsend... I frequently find images I post on other forums (animation related, etc.) and the best way to prevent it is to teach them to host it themselves. bandwidth aint free you know!!!

For those with a recent version of cPanel it's easy... Find this button:

The alternate image is a bad idea. They are still stealing bandwidth (excepally with such a large image) you are just directing them to the images you want them to steal... if that makes any sense at all. I just block them and let them get broken images and when they contact me I give em hell >^_^

I think it's great, and very embarrassing to the leecher since they don't see it because their browser caches the original image... They link it and go away and other people laugh at them. Then they quickly take it down.

You can make it very small in file size too so it doesn't use much bandwidth... quality isn't a concern since the message is more important. Teaching people that it's wrong to leech bandwidth.

Regardless of whether you use an image swap or not, turning of leeching is a good idea.
