loc_ref.php is a Referer spoofer I made for all the Neopets links on the site... it pretty much goes to the php script, removes the referer tag and redirects you to Neopets so they do not know the hits are coming from here (any link from here to another site carries a referer tag with it and the site you are connecting to knows where the hits are coming from).
loc_ref.php is safe as it only redirects your hits to Neopets once it removes the header.
For instance:
www.neocodex.us/forum/loc_ref.php?url=/npaward.php -> "http://www.neopets.com/npaward.php"
www.neocodex.us/forum/loc_ref.php?url=/games/diceescape.phtml -> "http://www.neopets.com/games/diceescape.phtml"
And CGing only works if the script is on the same server as the cookies.
So anyways, we should have announced the change but then it would be in the news and Neopets would probably realize that we're masking hits from here to there, lol.
i'm glad to see you guys implemented my suggestion
as far as the source code that is a standard isue gif file open any gif file in a text editor and you will see the same sort of code.
