Side Biz Poll!!!!

[strredwolf]

I belive I see an opportunity with Geocities/KeenSpace/Tripod/etc cracking down on remote imagery. But I need the public's input. Thus, the standardized poll...

[Poll #144782]

I'd answer this, but I have my own domain so it's kinda moot for me.

Go ahead and answer it. It'll help me gauge intrest, as well as pricing.

And yes, please PITCH this! I do need the input, as I'll be working on a server in the next few weeks.

(hmmms) I'd take the poll, but I'm not really sure what the first two are about, and the third (more storage) isn't really a problem for me right now...

Keenspace isn't so much cracking down on Hotlinking images as it is comics.

Translation:
The day I disabled hotlinking /comics and followed up with banning most known page scrapers, the "page visits" on everyones sites went up 30%, thus 30% more potential real visits. Ad-supported services need the page views because their ad sponsors will not count ads shown that are directly loaded (no referrer), will not count save-to-disk'ed pages or any other offline storage.
