Forum posts being stolen?

[MikeBcos]

I've made a bunch of threads... I wonder what the filters is...

Do y'all put your copyright info in your exif's? I do.

I do, and none of my photographs have been stolen.

I have an idea, and its going to take me just a few minutes to implement it. I host my photos on my own server, so I can set something up to redirect any web requests from that site to something else, say a picture of my ass.

I'll post a screenshot with the results here in a few.

Wow! I'm getting old....

Sounds like a fun idea!

I dont even know how to do that stuff. There are more images of mine there, then I thought. And I hardly post here. :er:

I'm apparently 'Smith' over there.

The nice thing about having complete control over your own domain? htaccess redirect rules.

^^^^ OOOoooo, I like that!!! Well done!

Wow, either that's a strange coincidence, or my redirect broke their site

Darn, it's down... glad I made it though... you didn't happen to notice who I was did you?

Interestingly, that was one of the pictures I made with my A710 IS powershot, which doesn't have the copywrite in the EXIF automatically placed there like I can do with my DSLR's.

I think its been killed - I can't seem to get there anymore

I don't know what to make of this, but if you go to this website:

General Gallery - Heavyshare Forum

It basically has a mirror of the posts on this site. Is this some type of intentional marketing/search engine ranking scheme?

Just curious, how did you find it?

I'll bet it was GEEKY.

What did you use to redirect? I cobbled this together in my .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*heavyshare\.net.* [NC]
RewriteRule .* /myspace/thieves.gif [F]

And I think this might have broken their stuff, all I get now is a database error.

Yeah, it was geeky. I am doing some tweaks to my website, so I have the logs scrolling on a monitor. I just happened to notice a request with the referrer as heavyshare.net, so I loaded the referring URL, and there was my photo and forum post.

Me either.

If I told you, they could get around it. Pretty close, though. You don't need the asterisks in the rewrite condition, though. It'll match any pattern.
