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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Okay, something like Carthag Tuek then? You can ignore the comment I put on your talk page :) Mikkel 22:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Right, done & done. Thanks for the help. Mikkel 22:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

lewww

I think there should be a shout out for the best fusker of all time, fusker lewww. Now closed. www.fusker.lewww.com —Preceding unsigned comment 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)[reply]

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)"

A New one...

I'm developing a new kind of Fusker.

With Javascripts and Stuffs.

I'd like to do here a Wish List.

Visit and contribut!

www.fusker.com.br

Download?

Is there any place left where you can download the fusker php+mysql software?

---> Yes... http://rapidshare.com/files/42076471/FuskerNE.v2.1a._www.lkmtheblog.com_.rar

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!

Notable !

The above queries suggest that there is demand for a good 'fusker' resource. The link at the end to the Javascript implementation is nice - view: Source to see the code.

It does need re-writing, though : In essence it presents image sites as almost pure content, without needless navigation and advertising, and by-passing the index pages of thumbnails that were helpful in selecting the best images in the days before broadband !

I see it as an alternative navigation mechanism - could improve 'accessibility' by stripping out unnecessary stuff - a bit like RSS, in a way. Also a bit like Google Images if you type a search word. It's not 100% 'pr0n' - I once found a page of pictures of moths ! OK - 99.99% then !

Why is Notability being questioned ? The 'Notability' guideline WP:WEB is about content not technologies: ie about websites, not how the web works ! If reference to third-party sources is the only way to establish notability, then Wikipedia is restricted to being merely a derivative work, containing only a subset of other works !

Fuskering is a technology that is 'pretty unique' to the web, and it would be unlikely to be mentioned in dictionaries: Google "define:fusker" and Wikipedia is the only hit ! It would be a shame to delete it ! Be the best !

It seems there is a "Wikipedia:Notability (pornographic actors)" guideline, but not one for technologies !

Is the Notability framework sufficiently well-developed to be applied ? Can we just apply WP:IAR ?

Fair use rationale for Image:Fuskerlogo.gif

Image:Fuskerlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James May from Top Gear named his cat after the script

findarticle.com:

"My girlfriend Sarah says you get the animal you deserve and that Fusker (the word for a form of internet theft) is stand-offish and grumpy, just like me. He's quite wild - semi-feral really - and he bites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.166.78.252 (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this might be a good thing to put in the article re notability 07:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.242.136.47 (talk)
