That's some nasty shit.
But I gave up on scumware assholes long ago. They're all still around, still tricking users into installing their shit, and still making money.

Lee if you have your browser set to tell you when a site wants it to accept a cookie, you'll see that EVERY board tries to get you to accept them about 3 times. It's part of the damn software that remembers your LOGIN - you know, that convenient thing where you don't have to type your name every time you post? (Among other things.)

If you're going to try to slam someone for cookies, slam them all - don't be selective. It exposes your agenda.
