Alas, this list of 15 was taken from my site - and hotlinked so he was taking my bandwidth. He simply copied and pasted - even his first paragraph is taken verbatim from my site. You will see if you look at my original: http://listverse.com/humor/top-30-brilliantly-timed-sports-photos/
It is a shame that he is receiving traffic for something he didn't put together - and that he was making money off my bandwidth!
Tammy - you are right - I wasn't clear in my original comment. What I meant was that the person who wrote the top 15 that this site linked to, stole the content from my site (which is not linked from here) - so the thief is getting the credit and the traffic, and I am paying the bill (because the thief just copied and pasted my text - so all of the visits to his site were sucking the images off my site) - he didn't credit me as the source either.

Is it me or isn't that what this site is about? Pointing surfers at some of the hotter and/or more interesting places on the web?
In doing so, I would imagine that he's helping to increase a site's traffic. Which is certainly beneficial to MOST sites.
I'm not sure why anyone would be offended to have their site posted here unless they were trying to be anonymous.

Jamie, I was not aware these pictures were stolen from your site.
I changed the title and the link is now directing to your site.
gerard: thank you - I truly appreciate it. You are a gentleman :)
oops - the link on the title is still pointing to the thief's site
as a long time fan of Presurfer and incidentally an 'admin' for listverse...thank you. PRESURFER ROX!
