In theory, it would make your site slow to load, which is a bad thing for any website, but especially a no-no for an adult site. One thing I would suggest is hotlink protection on your image dir for the image extensions. Along the same lines, a simple thing you can do it rename your images to some obscure extension .. like zbf. This will deter people from farming your server for images. All you'd have to do is adjust the Add-Type line in Apache so it serves zbf as gif, etc. -- The above message is encrypted with double rot13 encoding.
