I am currently trying to replace the banners a quickly as possible. I think the culprit is the "Electronic Geisha" site that has hosted "Pure Art" and a great many of my links, as well as "Beanclamchowder" the artsite of the creators of www.thecastings.com. I borrow (steal) these sites' images quite often, even though the owners have admonished us against it often. I'm not a very good listener. So I've decided to just suck it up and host the images myself. The problem is that I'm recovering from surgery and have a TON of homework, so I'm replacing the banners one at a time, as I get to them. To add to the problem, even though my HTML is very neat and orderly, I still have lines and lines to go through to single out the banners. So it takes time...then to track down new banners...bleh. So just be patient, and the pretty-picture banners will come back soon. The links still work, though, so it's not like you're cut off. Also, I have some new banners up to make up for the missing ones! http://www.operafloozy.com/butterfly/main.html Babochka takes place in turn of the 20th century Russia. It's very much a political drama, but also a tale about aristocrats in love, friendships that never end, innocence, and pretty boys. Excellent art, updates often, and pretty boys! Professional manga-quality, very good. You can find it's banner at the top of the Web Comic list. http://www.building12.net/ Another comic about college students, combined with a very strange cast, evil bumbling dictators who want world domination, hell demons who want a hot springs resort, space invaders who want to set up shopping malls, and it's up to the loser, weirdo occupants of Building 12 to stop them all! This comic is hilarious, and lots of fun. Done in gray-scale, it has frequent full-color fan service and full-color issue colors. http://www.misfile.com/ A comic about a filing mistake made by the pot-smoking younger son of the archangel Gabriel. The young druggie, alcholic, sex-driven angel is kicked out of heaven for his habits, and decides to correct his mistakes (which have resulted in gender-switching and lost years for two sophmores in high school) try and do a few good deeds, and maybe get taken back to heaven. Drawn well in pencil, updating often, funny, interesting...and angels! Plus, Gabriel's older son is hot. |

In my case, i have an insane amount of bandwidth on my site, so it doesn't make too much difference at all if people are hotlinking my site... But most people don't have that cozy situation. A friend of mine (tko-radio.net) had to shut her site down because she was exceeding her bandwidth since people were hotlinking her images, and she couldn't afford to upgrade her hosting plan. I really don't think that's fair, do you? As artists, we work hard to produce the work we do, and it takes a long time. Having to shut down her page for that reason is a horrible way to be thanked for sharing her work with everyone. I understand that maybe you don't have the space to host a bunch of images either, but if you need to hotlink, maybe you could e-mail the owners of the page and ask if it's alright for you to link two or three images, plus provide a link to their site. In exchange for a link, I would be happy to do a trade like that. It's more honest and fair to the artists. If you've read all this, thanks, and i do hope you'll at least consider what i suggested. | ||
