Wow, I bet this is a really stupid question

Fast Hands · 12-14-2001, 08:55 PM

First of all, one word: Sorry!
Now, please no laughing and understand I have never played with my sig very much, but I have a relatively moronic question.
Is it considered "wrong" to just host a pic in my sig from another website? I mean, does it break some kind of copyright or some other law? Because I see pictures all over the internet that would be cool to have in my sig but always wondered if it was wrong to just save it on my computer or put it's address into my sig.

Wow, I feel really stupid...I think I'll go hide now :embarassed: [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Like I always say, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

yeah, it is.

it is morally wrong. it showed your dark nature, and ugly little subconcious secrets. there is a conspirocy theory says that for every time you use a sig, you sbumit a little portion of your soul to the great devil Deux... **shivers**

You shouldn't link to the pic on the site itself because it steals bandwidth (or so I've heard [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but if you download the pic, you can host it yourself. If you don't have a way to host it yourself, you can get someone here to host it for you. If you email the pic to me, I'll host it for you. I've just learned how and won't mind a bit

Ignore 250, he's a little unbalanced these days....lol!

*in my best Budweiser commercial voice*I love you, man!

Thanks, Ronn.

I take it 250 just needs someplace to release a large amount of smartass remarks he seems to have. I guess my personal goal in life isn't to put others down, but I guess if it makes him feel better...

Fast Hands, I think 250 was making a joke, not insulting you (at least the first time). 250 has a rather...baroque sense of humor.

(Thanks for editing that, 250! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] )

Play nice!

Ronn, that was a mighty nice gesture to make to Fast Hands. Thanks for helping! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,

thanks Ronn...

Making love and enemies are similar, in that, you need to be very careful who you do either with or the consequences could kill you
