Killing Fusker

I'm having trouble with this, and perhaps others can help me figure this one out. If you've ever been to or noticed Fusker showing up in your logs, than you may know what I'm talking about. Basically, this site hotlinks out photos from your site (so if you have a gallery you may be on their site...especially if there are pretty girls present in the pics). Anyway, I'd like to keep this crap off of my site and keep my user's pictures from showing up there. I don't want to preven tall hotlinking, just disallow it from there. Photobucket has somehow done it. Does anyone have any idea how to do that? I've tried blocking the ip from the server, and that doesn't seem to be working either.

This is really starting to get on my nerves.

Ok, first post where I fixed it fixed it so good, I broke my site. So I looked around and found a better way.

This in an .htaccess file works and shows a default image (in this case, my banner).

Quote:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*fusker.lewww.com.* [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.sidebreak.com/board/style...s/1/header.png [R,NC]

Yes, Fusker is a parasite on the internet.
