Editor (that is kbreak right?),Your avatar is Uglycat, Cliff Yablonskis cat, and you've linked it directly from www.somethingawful.com. You really need to take that down right now and host it on your own server. If the SA goons find out they are going to be pissed and they'll invade this forum, fuck up your badwidth with wget scripts and send you a load of spam mail.
Lowtax pays a lot of money to run Something Awful and he really, really hates bandwidth leeches. So yeah it will save you a big cleanup, and save the Goons a stupid invasion if you fix this and host it on your own server.
Thanks!

I am not very clear on what a "bandwith leeche" is...Editor is not afraid of this Lowtax guy, editor is a 1337 hax0r and he would love to take this guy down hardcore... tell him to try it and he will wish he didn't.
I am curiuos if all us Detneters got wget scripts (if that is the right term) and targeted his site? Would that piss him off?

HA! It takes more than idle threats to scare Detneters... there are some crazy mofos in here that you don't even wanna mess wit'. We are talkin' the best of the best.I would like to see you try to take down editor... It would take at least a dozen of the 1337est SA goons to put a dent in his systems security. He is practically best friends with the guy who named the "Code Red" worm, he has to report to the NSA and speak to congress on security issues.

Oh damn, how did you guys see this? We Goons get around eh...And yeah Non we are serious, SA controls the interweb, this is a friendly request to stop leeching the bandwidth because I can imagine someone will soon call an attack if it isn't and I don't think that will benefit anyone.

... first... non's an idiot, ignore him. second... it's a 14k image, maybe not even that, what's the big deal? Really, I could care less if you guys "invade our forums" or "wget scripts" or whatever, but that just makes you lamers... so yeah, buzz off. morons.

Well then, don't say I didn't warn you. I hope you people are as desensitised to goatse as I am 
.How did you Goons find this? Damnit, I wasn't trying to initiate an invasion.

fuck, if ur that worried about other people leeching off somethingawful.com, why not use the antileech script?it'd save both of us alot of time.

Non, shut up before the entire band of SA goons invade us, k?
Editor/Kbreak, i would lock this topic to prevent this going any further if i was you....

I will sort this out.Everyone talking on behalf of SA - chill the fuck out. I'm onto it.
Non - shut your fucking mouth.
Problem solved.
Raping people's bandwidth isn't funny business, all it takes is a polite request and things get sorted out... making threats and busting out wget for anything other than to get files from the command line is a little childish.
I've moved the image onto my server at work - everthing's cool.
now chill the fuck out, thanks.
