I Really Wish I Didn't Have To Do This
Those of you who read my post about Webmasters from high-traffic sites linking to images on our server may have been wondering which site I was talking about. I contacted this site twice, waited 48 hours for them to respond, and decided today that I had to act.
The site in question is Hi-PDA.com. They appear to be a very popular mobile devices site - the image they linked to was loaded 5229 times yesterday. Although I could have broken the link, I wanted to send a message to the Webmaster who was ignoring my messages - I wasn't rude about it, but I did make my statement. Go look. 8)

You were much nicer about it than I would have been! Since the page is not in English, wonder if most of the visitors will be able to read what it says. Lets take bets on how long until they fix it. I say 24 hours.

Now perhaps you could persuade Jorgen to do the same (they have an infosync image directly linked as well).
Only about 20% of their photos appear to actually be hosted by the site.

I noticed that too. But some of those are hosted from the manufacturer of the product. Since they are plugging the product, thats not AS bad.
