Feel free to ignore my paragraph or ranting...

I always find it so ridiculous when people complain about earning money from/advertising on websites. Do they honestly expect you to invest your hard earned money into making a fansite for them to enjoy and offering not even a thanks in return (granted the person you're talking about isn't a fan but it's the same with genuine visitors) then accuse you of some equivelant of robbery when you try to earn back a little of the money spent on hosting expenses? It would probably take millions of Shareapic views to cover the time you spend on that website...

As far as Shareapic goes, I'd use it even if you didn't get paid. It's one of the nets more reliable sites for long term image hosting. Imageshack or equivelants are fine for posting pictures on forums but they regularly delete the images. If you want permanent hosting there's only really shareapic or photobucket and photobucket has a limit to what you can upload and regularly exceeds it's bandwidth...

The only things I can think of to deal with it are banning the person and deleting any comments she does make. Definitely don't respond to or start a conversation with him/her, that will only encourage him/her...
