Put the beer down, take a long nap and come back in a few hours.

LOL, there are 10 trackers at that link on CW. There's even one here.

The one here keeps your forum login creds so you don't have to re-login for each visit. We don't care where you go after you leave here.

That's a cookie. The tracker that I see here right now is "Facebook Connect".

The 10 trackers that are at that CW link are:

Adhere
Demandbase
DoubleClick
Dynamic Logic
Eloqua
Google +1
Google Custom Search Engine
Madison Logic
NetRatings SiteCensus
Omniture

The forum has the capability to connect with facebook and sync accounts. However you need to use SSl for that, iirc.

The Internet continues to be a dangerous place.

I care. I really, really care.

It's a touchy feely warm and fuzzy sort of thing.
I want this to be the place that you go to for help and support.

That being said, you are all banned until your next login.
