Here's an idea of how Picspam Classic would work.
Locally-hosted images, no hotlinking. Unfortunately, these are all pics I've dumped from my web-wanderings into one directory with no information as to their origins. Some are from picspam, some from Digg or Boing Boing or my inimitable f-list.
Consensus seems to be forming that the best picspam solution would be a synthesis of these two approaches -- host the images locally to prevent hotlinking, keep the links to the original posts for credit. I can see that, but I'm still adverse to local hosting, if only because then the original poster doesn't know their images are being seen at all, and that's a worse surprise to happen upon than following hotlinking trails, I think. I dunno. Maybe I'm overthinking this.
I just need a few more dramallamas before the noise becomes too much for my attention span to deal with.
Anyhow. How does this work?
