Default Spies are everywhere!

Why does hummerforums.com feel the need to use spyware on it's site? I don't like http://www.doubleclick.com/spying on my internet travels and I don't like http://www.google.com/logging everything I do. Of course I block all of these SPY sites which slows the forum down but it's worth it to not be tracked by marketers. I would hope that someday you will remove the spyware from the forum and give us back our privacy!

Funny thing is that everyone is being tracked online by everyone and there is no privacy on the net...one of the reasons that the internet is a double sided blade

I am not paranoid, I just know that there are people constantly monitering the net and a person has to watch out on what he does on the net

So wait - it's ok for you to know and post my IP, my ISP, my version of windows and Browser, but it's not ok for anyone to track you? I'm not worried and I don't really give a **** you can find that stuff out about me, it's just a little hypocritical

Sculptor: That little App does NOT show your ISP to anyone but YOU. Each person who see's that little application only see's their IP. When your computer talks to the server it has to provide that information to make the connection. It's jaut how computers work. I can't see your IP and you can't see mine. Each person only see's their own and each person is given the right to believe I know much more than I do about them.
