Are you thinking of fixing the whole thing where 'http://buffistas.org puts you in guest mode? Because I like that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Actually, this is easier:
To make the cookie available on all subdomains of example.com then you'd set it to '.example.com'. The . is not required but makes it compatible with more browsers. Setting it to www.example.com will make the cookie only available in the www subdomain. Refer to tail matching in the spec for details.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Eddie. It's not so much the implementations as the implications I want to focus on.

Gotcha. Wouldn't want the Buffistas-bot to get dismembered.

I'm using the most recent edition of Firefox. For the last two days, whenever I go to post, the progress bar on the right goes through, the left says "Done", and the posting box is still sitting there with my words in it. However, if I click back to the main page, the thread says 1 new message. When I go to read that 1 new, I find that it's my post. It's happened in every thread I've posted in.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita mentioned the wayback machine in the B'cracy thread. Very cool, but I can't get to any of the actual threads. I get the error message below.

If you take a look at B.org's robots.txt file, you'll see it instructs webcrawlers (from search engines like google.com, and in this case the waybackmachine) to not index the showthread.php file. Showthread is what displays the posts here. I presume the reason for this is to stay under the radar and to conserve bandwidth, otherwise everyone who googled Buffy porn would be hitting this site.

It's not bandwidth, so much as a thin veil of obscurity. It's the big old world wide web, anyone could be lurking, but cutting down on the number of ways to stumble on us seemed a small enough thing to do.

What is even happening?
We've archived our own stuff. Any of us who wants to can dl the archives.
I love the wayback machine, but it's only as good as its technology. There used to be a lot more of the Bronze available via the wayback machine. But when UPN took over the domain name, it somehow frelled up what was available of Apollo/The WB's version of the Bronze, or at least, the frelling seemed to happen at the same time. I wouldn't like to see us lose our veil just so we'll get archived.
