WarLocke took out the site advertisement at the bottom of your picture. I think it was just as a nice gesture in case people wanted to save an untarnished version of the image for later use.
If I were to post a picture of my son here (who just happens to be the cutest baby in the world) and tag it with my name and e-mail address, would you still go ahead and crop the picture enough to remove my identifying marks so it's suitably "spam-free" to post on another message board?
I've seen this issue crop up on many occasions lately. I absolutely detest it when I see my photoshops appear sans logo on random websites.
Give credit where credit is due.
