hotlinking is when people see an image of the day, and say, hey, that's really cool, I'll show all my blog readers (or whatever) the same image... by linking to it directly on cellar.org, that way the Cellar takes the bandwidth charges.

For example, the last image on this thread is actually coming from cellar.org

I looked but could not find the image in question. Too bad you can't pull an "immaculate hack" and fix their little red wagon without messing up your own system (breaking links/pics etc). Or maybe you can...
