An apology

Late last week,I found a rather amusing little gif of a rather cool copper dancing.I thought it was very well done and worthy of sharing through my sig.You may have seen and enjoyed it,it was titled 'Iplod'.It was sourced from a site called www.b4ta.com a graphic manipulation and web trivia site.

Shortly after I logged out for the night last night, the originator of said image decided that he/she did not wish to continue hosting,and replaced the gif with an offensive image.


I would therefore like to apologise on behalf of this worthless piece of dogshit for posting inappropriate material to the board.If the sad little geek doesn't like hotlinking,he should mark his images as copyrighted.

It bugs me that people this creative and funny can be total assholes.Why enter into graphics contests if you then choose to crap on the people who admire your work?

Again to anyone who was offended by the image that replaced my chosen sig,I apologise on behalf of the needledick who changed it.

And thanks to Jimster for spotting it and figuring out what had happened.

To the former host of the 'Iplod' image...screw you.It doesn't matter how funny your pics are,you are a worthless twat. :disappoin

ouch that sucks man, that was a good little video thing too...

If you saved the pic, I can host it for you... :D

i missed it.

what replaced it?

effin' cranky people...i would be happy if my work were being spread over the 'net.

A pic of an overworked bunghole. Wasn't pretty... sorry K. I noticed it this morning but hadn't had my coffee yet so it didn't sink into my head until I read this post just now. I didn't think you would purposly put that pic up there.

Yeah I am glad I missed it. Although I do have to say I would be pissed if you used an .avi 's bandwidth on a forum and pulled it from my site. Think how much that is going to destroy the longevity of my server if someone views your posts as much as this forum is viewed. Just a thought.

my sympathies for his server are somewhat limited.If he doesn't want to hotlink,there is plenty of code available,such as is used by this site,to prevent bandwidth issues.Pulling down one image and replacing it with another is still going to create server issues for himself.The precious little artist could have simply renamed his file and left me with a dead link,but he'd rather behave like a weenie. :rolleyes:

Doesn't do much for the reputation of the host board,either.

I saw the original and thought it was pretty creative. I'm glad I missed its replacement. :uhoh:

Yeah, good point

Although I was spared from the monstrosity, thanks for apologising even if it wasn't your fault. It's comforting to know the world isn't filled with pissants like the image host.

Mr T, have saved the image and can host it for you if you like. Just let me know.

Thanks,but no thanks.If he can't be bothered to host it himself,he can go shove it up his butt. :lol2:

aww man Mr. T i was lovin it...laughin every time i saw it..but glad i missed the replacement...i should have saved it when i had the chance:(

but it'd be cool if you had another pic in your sig that blows the pants off that iPlod one
