Think the goatsex guy or tubgirl (you can google and find those if you're not familiar with them, but don't do it in front of your kid - and don't blame me for the permanent mental scarring). Leave the location of the files that are being hijacked the same after you replace the pics with the new images, but change the location of the correct pics and point your blog image tags to the new location. That way you're not getting the changed images on your site, but they're getting them on theirs. <a href="http://www.peeniewallie.com/2005/10/bandwidth_thief.html" rel="nofollow">This guy</a> had a problem with bandwidth theft a few times, I would bet he'd be willing to provide you with the text of the image he posted (it was pretty funny, and clean) or maybe even with a copy of the image he used.

This site is now showing at over 150% of bandwidth, yet it's up. The host tweaked my allowances for mayaleigh, and now it's showing at 67%, but down. What the...? Plus, I've set up the hotlink protection, so in theory, people shouldn't be able to piggyback off my background images now. I don't get it. Yeah, and now I’m not quite sure what the problem is.

I didn't know how to do that what with the "sign-in" requirements you had going there for awhile. I noticed that Maya's site is still down. :( That sucks. I miss the cutey-pie goodness.
