Don't Hotlink to Images - We Can Change Them

Look at the top left

Here at T3ch H3lp, we have had a bit of a scuffle with the competition - who will remain un-named*, but we don’t see why we can’t share a little anonymous info. A certain site has decided to copy and paste a large portion of our custom CSS code and Javascript, which make up our template, and is licensed under creative commons.

Unfortunately for them, they were too lazy to re-upload the images linked in the CSS and Javascript to their own servers, and thus we have full control over what images show on their site. We thought the “Sharing” images would be the most fun, and how we did this was we just looked at the images they were linking to, which was to our servers, and all we had to do was add a different file with the same filename - replacing the old one. Their site is still linking to the same file, but its not the same if you catch my drift…
