Seems perfectly reasonable since simply belonging to an invite site( which of course doesn't even mean you participate in the invite part or for that matter even post) makes you a security risk or a bad person or something.

Also the stupidity of the whole thing is that in my experience the really bad seeds are the ones most likely to be taking precautions against getting found out by this sort of thing.

Btw seeing as that is your first and only post here I don't particularly believe you anyway. That's my own personal security system.

i know dnt blame you for this .. i knw u cnt trust a newbie

They aren't only using this against "invite" boards.

This is a copy & paste from T-I and you didn't even add the actual links to the vulnerability tests, but it's the intention that matters :P

But those are real. It's a copy paste from anon's site, as said before.
I'd agree with the first part of your statement, though I doubt many will catch the sarcasm there. Are you sure you aren't brit?

Anon you should do them a favor and at least post the version thats on the SBI forums....
The version this clown posted is missing the links as well as other details that were included in yours.

P.S. This isn't anything new as Anon and others are aware.
I have been using this for over 2 yrs...
Just to give you an idea.

It's a copy & paste from T-I, which in turn copied it from us. :hooray:

@Melvin: I guess I could...

I use Opera, how can i avoid these trackers from identifying me? :|

You don't get banned for visiting a site, you get banned for being a trader. There's a difference ;)

The scary What admins with their 1337 hacking abilities have yet to ban me for posting here... Don't let people scare you into believing that having an account here is a liability. It's what you do with the account here that will get you in trouble.
