The best way to tell if they are stolen kitty is
to look at the crop. I have had various pals
moan to me about avatars being stolen and I am
always able to easily tell if their concerns are
justified or not. It's very hard to get two
crops identical. I've seen similiar avatars on
tons of sites but have yet to see two exactly
identical crops. ie. always a pixel or so variance.
Regarding Dagger's post at the bottom:
The issue wrt other's posting someone's avatars
on their page appears to be a credit one. While
your site indicates it doesn't mind others doing
this, it does, however, give very specifically
instructions that credit must be given back to
your site for the avatars. This usually defeats
the purpose of avatar gallery thefts as they want
to take credit for the gallery work as their own.
