so you need to make your clients HTTP_REFERRER the page that the images are on

perhaps the solution would be to create an iframe that redirects to this location after the page loads, but have it hidden, then any future contacts with abc.org (image requests) may pass

but even if that did work i imagine you may get the popups' that come with it, but there might be a way around it

not sure

oh well.
A legit possibility if it was allowed, but I don't know of any decent BBS software that allows you to insert an IFRAME in your comments. That would be a massive security oversight. Not in the sense that it relates to the stealing of bandwidth from freehosts, but allowing IFRAME tags in your BBS can introduce a multitude of problems from hackers, crackers, and script kiddies. Not a good idea, and I've never seen any BBS software in wide use that allows it.
