I have to confess, it took a lot for me to understand the hotlinking-is-bad thing.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Well, to give an example, the Whedonesque post linked to Nilly's website, mentioned it was Nilly in the post and they post on Buffistas (since it was originally posted here). I didn't hotlink here as I figured since it's database driven it might kill it, but Nillys site was pure HTML.
In other words, I wouldn't hotlink something to trash a site.

We don't even tag posts here without seeking permission.
'tag'?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm pulling down some sites this weekend due to hotlinking. I wish I could get the home addresses of the fuckers at myspace sucking my bandwidth and go steal their cars.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! Thanks for reminding me. I need to switch some stuff around, because myspace is populated with some noxious bandwidth thieving fuckers who cost me money.

You've hotlinked me, before, Kevin. The Inside screencaps, I think.

Yes, there was a forum post on TI.org which linked to a screencap of episode 2, I think. I swapped it around when you pointed it out.

Use as a tag line -- you know, the text under your name.

Not to get all overly dramatic, but the thing about being polite about bandwidth and post-ownership and Buffistas in general, is that being polite is a way of self-preservation.
We're fairly open in that in order to post here, you have to go through a registration process, but anyone can read. We're closed in that you can't google individual posts.
And if enough people don't follow the etiquette the rest of us follow, the slippery slope leads to becoming completely closed.
You don't have to agree with the culture, but if you keep farting at the dinner table, eventually, someone shows you the door.
If you think its ridiculous that your fellow dinner guests are offended by the stink, I'd guess you wouldn't want to stay for dessert anyway.
This post brought to you by not having time for a full cup of coffee. I better go get some.
