Direct it to a full page ad, straight to a tour, to a foreign language tour, to a page full of traffic trades, to a dialer, to an install... There's some way you could make money from it, instead of just coming here and whinging.

However we don't know each other (yet) I kindly ask you to please be a little more polite and don't call me a fucking dumb shit. I admit my style was not too friendly and I apologize for this, but I just want to do my work and really don't want this headache. Below I will let you know why I think this issue is purely bad to me.

While reading/searching the boards in this year I've seen similar situations and none of the webmasters were happy about this. I consider this a theft because of what I already wrote before: tgp owner haven't contacted me to ask for my galleries if I agree or not that he'll use 'em. The cause of this is that he knows his traffic very well and knows that I will barely make any sales with his traffic, but I will have a huge hosting bill. I didnt have the chance to decide if I want this or not.

Have you seen my signature you stupid fuck, theres nothing worth "trying to get it seen", and yes, I did read the whole thread, and still try to comprehend your complete stupidity shown here...

Josh, I admit I love your sig, I've seen the thread where someone (maybe you) posted the whole video, its fun :) But I have to ask you to please avoid judging me, either because I am a friendly and good guy and also because of what I will write below describing why I think this is a bad deal for me.

Haha! Don't think that my traffic is high because of this shit. Absolutely not :) My traffic and biz is constantly growing because of my hard work. I didn't notice in time that with the "natural" grow of my traffic included some hotlinking and this kind of unauthorized bw usage as well.
And now the conclusions after some days:
To be honest, I was not prepared for this situation. I had no clue what to do in a case like this, and thanks for all who posted some ideas how a traffic source like this can be used, I learned a lot and will definitely use a suggestion posted above next time this occurs. Maybe I am not a smart webmaster, but you know: I didn't need any special knowledge about traffic simply because I have almost zero traffic of mine: 99% of my traffic is from other TGPs where my galleries are posted. I only use my own natural 404 traffic to feed a TGP of mine...
I tell you why I think none of the solutions above can make my money back: lets say I redirect the traffic immediately when I notice to spanish AFF or any good, probably converting place: what do you think, for how long I will have this traffic? Max some days... Site owners are warned my surfers or they notice themselves in some hours/days when they are hunting my newer galleries (with all the other wm's stuff) and they remove all my shit thus the good and probably converting traffic is gone. So my traffic was leached for weeks/months and I could use it to make a little money back for some hours, max some days... I doubt this is good biz...
I don't refuse to learn from people who are smarter than me so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this one or any other part, but please be a little more polite as maybe I am a noob or stupid but I am "benevolent". I treat everyone the same way I want them to treat me. You can ask anybody I made business with that I was never rude to anyone and I expect the same, even on GFY [maybe I am naive...] :)
