Thanks to MySpace and the ridiculous amount of people there too lazy to host their own images, I've gotten over 10k hits a day on a single jpg on my site. It hasn't eaten up too much of my bandwidth, but it's still annoying that people would just lazily link to whatever they want and not at least host it themselves.

So we'll be playing a little bit of graphics switch-aroo :)


Before

and

After


Let's see how long it takes for people to notice.

That's a quote from Webalizer, with the number of hits, % of total hits, and the referrer. I normally pull about 250k-300k individual requests a month (something like 35k unique visitors), but this is just stupid. Worst part is it doesn't tell me WHICH Myspace profiles are using the link, just that there's profiles using it.
