Not singling you out for any reason other than you were the latest that they messed with.

[Glenn]

Thanks for the lecture. I'd have never been able to decide a matter as significant as this on my own.

[G.Mason]

Like this?

Oh so sorry. That is ghastly.

[gracex7]

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that could be done. And my, what a charming a group they must be over at R.com

[AppyPappy]

Why not just code it out?

[Captain Kirk]

Yeah....so what. I've noted that a lot of freepers compare Howard Dean to Fidel Castro. It is called political invective and both sides use it.

The problem is that Rotten.com hates us, and hates conservatives. Whoever it is over there likens us to nazis.

Their website name defines their mindset and anyone who would get jollies collecting pictures of mangled corpses, birth defects, etc. is a ghoul who would find some admiration in the handiwork of real Nazis. They are just projecting again.

[Gorzaloon]

And if you want to still give them your traffic by visiting their site despite the fact that they hate your guts, that is your own business and I really couldn't care less.

The fact that they COULD lock out FR referrals with their .htaccess file shows they are malicious.

For example, on my sites, I do that to Angelfire, Geocities, etc. to prevent deep linking. I do not have to swap the files for pr0n, etc.

[John Jorsett]

Or, if you REALLY want to post one of their pictures, copy it and put it on another server machine that you control. Personally, after looking at a list of what they're offering I can't imagine ever wanting to steal any of their material.

[jmax]

I don't mean to sound dumb, but what does the picture on your profile (About Me Page) represent? Can't figure it out.

[FReepaholic]

>>...Do Not Post Images From Rotten.com and Foo.ca...<<

Considering that there are certain sites that FreeRepublic doesn't want articles or images posted from, and considering that there are certain rules about excerpting articles from certain sites (Washington Post for one), let me suggest that FR put a list of these rules at the top of the page where we compose our posting comments.

I'm sure that would at least prevent a lot of confusion and at most prevent another lawsuit.

Sound like a good idea?

[Zechariah11]

Thanks for the info.
Why would anyone get upset about this valuable post? It baffles me.

[tortoise]

I actually know the rotten.com guy, since he is a friend of a friend.

Extreme kneejerk liberal, through and through. I got into a rather heated argument with that idiot one day when he came into the office. I bothered to correct one of his numerous snide left-wing propaganda talking point assertions, which he loves to insert into everything he talks about. He started frothing and I had to tear him a new one and deconstruct his entire ideology in a stylish fashion in front of everyone else.

Moron. He avoids talking to me now if he sees me.

Boy, to see the nastiness and downright hatred shown on this particular thread, makes me think I am on DU. It is especially bad because of the subject of this thread.

Server image swapping is pretty common now-a-days and moderator explained it pretty good.

Keep in mind folks, we have a LOT of Liberal moles on FR that are here just to disrupt and cause problems. In other words, attempting to bring FR DOWN to the du level. Some have been here for years.

If you watch carefully, you can pick them out.

The best thing to do: Ignore them. Libs just cannot handle being ignored, just like they cannot handle the truth. "Can you handle the truth?"

Of course, this is only my opinion!!

[TexasCajun]

...ya'll still at it!

Geeezzzz

[Flyer]

This works both ways, too!

DU had linked to one of my Houston FReeper images and were saying nasty things about us. I manually swapped the image. 'Bout halfway down the page. . .

[antaresequity]

What if you use an IFrame ? and not an img tag?

[weegee]

Given the name of the URL, I am guessing it was the pic of the lady golfer kissing the trophy she won.

That old thing? The better version (created by a FReeper the day that picture came out) had the "Yatta" guys all gasping in the background:
