Will it be taken down?

Just a thought. I understand the protection issue. ok it's annoying, no kidding. For the record it's ok OSO is doing safety precautions. But who on earth (I didn't) allowed OSO or IB to check MY browser. ?? OSO / IB is accessing my personal files and computer without my authorization.

What are they checking with out my approval and knowledge???
Nit picking here a bit, but it's the principle.. How about OSO / IB asking permission first? I would give it, no biggie, but really... "hacking into my puter? with out a request? It is hacking. I understand the reasons, and that's ok, the method is just BS. What ever happened to my privacy???????? Quit checking my "system" and find a better way. !!!!!!
At the end, I really don't care much, but how about if I start checking IB /OSO system make sure I don't get a virus or something and get info on their payroll???? How would OSO / IB feels if I or some start checking their system or browser. It can be done. (I wish I could do that, I would have some serious fun) lol

Go into your browser settings and turn off cookies.

That's all this procedure is referring too.

BTW, ALL sites do it.
OSO has the courtesy of telling you.

OSO/IB is not hacking into your computer or personal files. It is using security software to verify that you are not hacking into them.

You do realize that tons of online vendors install tracking cookies on your computer all the time????

Hum, It must have been a personal vendetta towards boating forums in general because iboats forums were under attack as well this past weekend making the forums unusable until corrected internally.:violent-smiley-021:

Yes, once IB feels the site is not being hacked it will be taken down.
