So if one of you wants to host it from photobucket and repost it, then I'll get rid of the one I posted. Either that or EX will take it off himself.
Okay, here's a quick crash course. Images you see on the internet aren't just floating around suspended it the middle of nowhere. The data for them is stored on someone's site, somewhere. Every time that image is displayed somewhere on another website, it's actually linking back and pulling that image from the original site. All that extra activity to do so eats up bandwidth, which is the "space" that allows for that image and other things on the site to be accessed and seen. Basically, too many direct links to that one image can "back up traffic" on that site and really slow things down.

Sites like Photobucket allow you to join up, and they give you a certain amount of space to store images and video. Once you have them uploaded, you can link to them or display them from there. That way, you're showing the picture using your own resources, instead of stealing someone else's.

The problem was the picture was to small and you couldn't really make anything out but a bunch of people agreed that one of them had Piccolo on it. The other posters looked like they had other individuals and some group stuff including Chatwin in the the Blue Gi.


*EDIT* Shortly after that the Bulma picture appeared and the guy was like "NO! DELETE THAT SHIT! I'LL GET IN TROUBLE." Then everything got deleted but it was TOO late.

A.K.A- The pictures were real.

Thanks for the explanation, although I thought "stealing" was a little inaccurate, the internet is a public place after all. :)

LSSJ4 said :A.K.A- The pictures were real.
Exactly. My thing is instead of "leaking" a sexy Bulma poster why not show the one with Chatwin in the classic Kame Gi and establish some credibility because you know....this movie could really use some more. Nope. They give us Bulma so people can look and say "Her hair isn't blue so FUCK YOU!"

*ANOTHER EDIT* Oh damn it! The other ones got leaked too but they either got deleted before anyone could save them.

Nope. It really sucks. The only one I have saved is the Bulma one.

Piccolo was leaked and is gone now?

FUDGE! >_O

I believe a while back I said that I was going to refer to the movie Goku as "Chatwin" until he earns my respect and I'm sticking by that for now.

Well his name is Justin Chatwin. He only plays the fictional character of "Son Goku". :roll:

That makes sense. With Chatwin's name I've been dropping the "Mr." unless he does something to actually impress me.

Ex: Mr. Toriyama <- someone I respect.
Ex: Chatwin <- hasn't earned any respect from me yet.

It's the classic show of disrespect from a stereo typical punk from the movies.

"You're going down Sampson! Meet me by the big pine tree at noon!" :lol:

Well, I guess this is the first time we've seen Piccolo...I'm not sure what I think. He kinda looks like a cheesy power ranger enemy. Are we sure all of those are legit?

I really really really hope that this isn't what Piccolo looks like. He's supposed to be green!

After further inspection, that still character has facial features similar to Marsters so it seems my worst fears have come true.

Why is he wearing RED!? Alright. Maybe if we see it in action things will look better!?

I am fine with how piccolo looks, and he is green, just not dark green.
