Facebook stalking goes on anyway, I don't see how this thread promotes it beyond new names appearing in one thread, and as GCW points out, these pictures are out on t'internet anyway, so could be easily found if the intent is there.Don't know what the hotlink embarrasment is? I've written a fairly useful guide to posting pictures.If people's first experiences of UKB are the DF[Birds/Blokes]WGC threads they were probably looking for that sort of content anyway!Perhaps those pressurising UKB owners should also contact Flickr over the Climbing Girls Group.
Facebook stalking obviously happens but posing "look at what I found on the pooch's FB page" and "I just added (DFBWGC), waiting for her to confirm before I trawl through and repost all her pictures" is a little bit dark.
The hotlinking thing is something I hadn't thought of before Stubbs mentioned it, if a DFB suddenly has hundreds of extra hits to her usually quiet blog and has a look to see where they're from and follows the referrer links she'll find herself in the DFB thread, basically being leered at. Unlikely, but if this is at 4pm australian time then she could always find the drunken 4am ramblings of someone here too.
I know you like a good discussion/argument Slackers, but this isn't so much about the pictures and how they were sourced, it's about the context in which they appear on this website.Saying people can choose not to look at them if they don't want to reminds me of this
In fact, I do feel that the thread is slightly offensive and inappropriate.
Take your photos down then or grow some thicker skin (ideally a nice olive tone and not too veiny).
A dead fit bird reading a book?

(the flying saucer is cooler though).
Simon, could you not just weight the importance of the comments by the comparative fitness of the respondent to get the definitive answer?
Anyone can see the whole concept of the thread (even its title) is laced with irony and the comments often are too.
