There is no compromise, I am the "customer" !!

There are no posting requirements and as such there are no penalties for not posting. It is entirely everyone's own perogative as to whether or not they post. If you feel that you are not going to post then so be it.
As for the issues you are having with your firewall, advertising **** and your choice of internet browsing with high security, let me start with your firewall.
Your firewall should have no bearing as to your ability to access the forums as they use nothing beyond the standard HTTP protocol over port 80. Your firewall could have additional features or personal configuration which may potentially inhibit your ability to access the forums but I don't see why it would be setup in such a way. I personally run a hardware based firewall and a software firewall. Both have complex configurations that do not affect my ability to use the forums, nor am I required to disable them. What firewall are you using?
With regards to your comment about advertising **** I'm a little stumped. Currently there are no more than 2 ads per page, with one being a banner image and the other a brief text ad. The advertising does not require cookies and should not be causing you any trouble.
What seems to be the trouble that you are experiencing with our advertising?

Cookies are a fact of life and will be for a long time to come. They can store various bits of information that do not necessarily need to be considered a security risk. What web browser do you use?
If you're security conscious you wouldn't be using IE and would be better off with something like Netscape or Firefox with the latter probably being the best choice.
I personally use Firefox but test every page with the 4 main browsers; IE, Netscape, Opera and Firefox.
In each of those cases you can manually setup a cookie override setting to allow cookies from forums.ozmium.com.au. If you are using IE you will find that the forums work perfectly fine with the Medium High security setting and no cookie override settings.
It is disappointing that you didn't submit an email via the contact us link and resorted to this post instead.
I am willing to liase with you to work through these concerns. Please contact me at
support@ozmium.com.au.
Kindest Regards,
