You might notice we put up an interstitial page to verify that you are human... This is temporary until the attack subsides. Sorry for any hassle...

I understand . Other web sites that I visit also use that verification. It protects the site from these hackers.
Thank you

I think it's short for 'Robot'. Apparently there are these tiny little robots that bad guys send into our computors and they make a mess of the place. At least they aren't 12' tall with an atomic ray like the one on 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. That one creeped the heck outa me when I was 10. Thank you Ryan.

Noticed that on the HAMB the other day, and just came here for the first time in a while and saw it as well. Coincidently, yesterday I just signed up for anti-ID theft protection at my bank yesterday. She told me the fraud is off the charts and so are the attacks from hackers. She said that if your identify hasn’t been stolen yet, it’s only a matter of time. Happened to my sis last year through a hack/data leak and and all her personal info was taken. It happened in Aug, and she was just notified last month.
