| Server hotlinking is handled differently for Guests and Members. Hotlinking is when a website directly embeds media, like an image, from another website (in this case, TheFactorium.ART) instead of hosting it on its own. This practice consumes our bandwidth, which can increase our costs, cause performance issues, and is sometimes considered a form of "bandwidth theft". It can also affect our other users (Guests and Members). Content can still be shared outside the TheFactorium.ART Platform. They will always belong to you, the artist. | ||
| Hotlinking Handling |
In the case of Guests, content is automatically purged every hour by the system. This measure does not completely block hotlinking, but does curtail it. | In the case of Members, access to Member images is restricted to signed-in Members, and only when viewed on TheFactorium.ART. Only Members can view their images. Hotlinking blocked. |
