Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Careful, Daniel. The Dookies have made it clear that other teams are not to be rooted for.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm being logged out each time I visit the board. "Remember Me" is checked in my profile. This last time, I appeared logged in, but I'm assuming it was cached. When I clicked "Read New", it bounced me to the front page with me logged out.

Any ideas?

Huh. Except I'm apparently not actually logged out. If I persist, Read New works properly. But the board still initially insists that I'm logged out.

And...never mind. Figured it out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What was it?

The address in my address bar history had an extra slash; I must have had butterfingers when I typed it. So I was visiting "buffistas.org\". Once I reloaded the home page and that slash went away, everything was fine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I always knew slash was a problem.

Who are you, and what have you done with Dana???

Our wings are not tired.

No wonder the board didn't recognize her.

The address in my address bar history had an extra slash; I must have had butterfingers when I typed it. So I was visiting "buffistas.org". Once I reloaded the home page and that slash went away, everything was fine.

So it was "buffistas.org, now with extra slash"?

eta, I didn't think that was even possible...
