    I come from a land down under! (Maaaate!)
    I'd call it lucky.. It's a pain in the ass having to log back in all the damn time! Grrr.

    And of course its possible for CG'ers... and hackers... AAAAANYYYYTHING is posible. It's neopets afterall..

    But, Wink wink, its never happened and will never happen (or so TNT like to announce)

    I had to set my PIN because of a clever CGer posted a url very similar to neopets.com and it still hyperlinked. They can get tricky.

    Bumping this topic, many more well known BD Chatters have been iced for "protection". Seems to be CGers are back.

    Clear cookies, don't go to user lookups and shops, just for a few days.

    technically all you have to do is "logout" when you are done playing. The only thing that keeps you logged in is that set cookie. When you click logout it clears that cookie.

    Technically CGers will only work if the user is still logged into the account right? If your logged out then the cookie they grabbed is no longer valid.

    clearing cookies does nothing

    its like emptying your wallet after its been stolen

    cookie grab = they steal your cookie string and replace it in theirs, thus gaining access to your account without having to actually log in
    they cant get your pins, and if you change your PW while they are logged in, they will be automatically logged out

    the CGs only work if you have IE 7, so if ur on firefox you cant be CGed
