Just a heads up if you visit hucksarmy forum. They are dropping a "specificclick.net" cookie. This isn't a normal cookie. It is spyware which tracks your browsing activity, not just clicks on that site. But tracks what other sites you also visit.

VERY interesting. They banned me from their forum very quickly, and the only solid evidence they could have had against me would be something like this, where they might have been able to see that I had come here as well.

Turn off cookies or use a different browser for their site. Firefox vs IE explorer vs netscape, etc.

Or safari (http://www.apple.com/safari/download/).

You also might consider using tor (http://www.torproject.org/) to keep your IP address randomized.
