Often other sites, for example google.images.com, don't allow hot-linking, which is posting an image on one site located on another. They view it not just as stealing the image but also the computer bandwidth of the hosting site. When they get a request from an outside site they block it or serve up another image. Sometimes you'll see your image for the first minute or so and then the host computer will block it. This may give you the impression the hot-link initially worked. What one of the secret admins is doing is cleaning up after your dead hot-links. In the future, I would make sure any image lasts at least a minute. If it doesn't, then bust it yourself.
