Define "Fusker" site
 

I'm in the dark here, someone explain what a Fusker site is.

Well, at least I'm not the only one wondering :winkwink:

Uses a program called fusker to hotlink images from galleries/sites.

Fusk means Cheat in swedish and playing with the word a bit fusker = cheater.. Whadda ya know

people who dont protect themselves in regards to hotlinking, enable these sites.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

When you get fuskered, you'll know it.

Gee, doesn't anyone know how to type fusker into google search?

Fusker is a site software that allows users to submit URLs to fusker, which extracts all the image links from the site and hot links the images only onto a page in fusker. Their network shares these "fuskered" sites with others running the fusker software.

They will put up to about 50 images per page, FULL SIZE, without any links to your site or sponsors. There is little or no way to extract income from these bastards, but they can sure suck down a ton of bandwidth. Even if you have hotlink protection in place, they can eat up a ton of machine time handling all the requests that come in (because of the way they hot you, they can actually use more resources than a hun listing).

They publish the images without permission, without rights, and without 2257 documents.

Sponsors who pay these scum don't rank real high in my books.

one more bump against fuskers!
