Hotlink Protection

I've enabled hotlink protection on all my sites, because people all over the internet have been hot linking the box art and screenshots from GameRatio.Com. Literally hundreds of sites were hotlinking, I know this from the server logs.

First it was people posting in forums, that I didn't mind so much, but when sites start using my images in ads and on ebay that's just too much. It just steals bandwidth and doesn't provide a link back to GR%, so that's over with.

If you are a webmaster and are interesting in using any of the images, please contact me, and we can arrange something, all I really want is links back, and I can allow your site to hotlink.
