ImageShack hotlinking

Does anyone have any idea why ImageShack has apparently blocked hotlinking from GFF? A whole bunch of signatures are now broken because they've been replaced by that ugly-ass frog.

I'm going to accuse pom of it not because I actually think it's his fault but I know someone else will so I want to look funny and original

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think it's just as good.

Haven't been to this thread in a bit, but neither of you are helping.

Oops, if I'd read one more post I would've realized Mush already said that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The question was not about ImageShack's downtime problems, I was wondering why, according to the replacement image, loading from THIS DOMAIN was blocked. It was blocking GFF pictures for a little while.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That's what I made the thread to find out about, though. Recommending Imagebucket 5.0 or whatever doesn't help answer my original question. Like Mush said, it's akin to going into a thread about IE and saying "Use Firefox".

Anyway, the question has been answered, I'm going to save the mods the trouble and close this.
