I have searched the web for a Fusker FAQ or similar "what is fusker" document, but have not been able to find anything. Please help!

[edit] Note from original author of script

I piped "Carthag Tuek" to my own user page. If this violates any wikipedia policies, please do change it back or to something else. Mikkel 22:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for being considerate. See Wikipedia:Avoid self-references, it's not quite kosher. Even the page on Jimmy Wales includes a link to his user page as an external link. --W.marsh 22:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Okay, something like Carthag Tuek then? You can ignore the comment I put on your talk page :) Mikkel 22:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah just put it in the external links section, since technically it is (even though that's counter-intuitive). --W.marsh 22:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Right, done & done. Thanks for the help. Mikkel 22:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lewww=

I think there should be a shout out for the best fusker of all time, fusker lewww. Now closed. www.fusker.lewww.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.125.134.80 (talk • contribs).

I miss trouserstew and babehunt, too. Perhaps there should be a list of the most famous dead fusker sites. 70.161.233.42 06:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarify?

The term;

"Still, the images are not copied by the fusker technology; the new page that the fusker technology produces instructs the browser to retrieve each image from its host web server and display it in the context of the new page."

Sould be more clear. Its confusing for techno-newbies who don't understand how the web works in detail. Perhaps additional clarification along the lines of;

"The fusker server does not copy the images, but rather produced a new webpage which links to the original image (a practice also known as hot linking, deep linking or leeching)"
