Title: The thing about internet cookies...
Post by: X_Hero on December 10, 2007, 02:53:25 PM
Now you know what those are, the little windows asking to set cookies... Anyway, if you pay attention, some of the expiration dates on some of them are outrageous! I mean... There are some that expired in 1969! The internet wasn't even invented yet, jeez! XD And then there are some that expire in like... What? 2082! Jeez, what's with these things?! I gotta tell ya... Some of these cookies are WEIRD! XD Who else noticed this?

I don't want stale cookies ;)

Really, it's just that the website doesn't want it to ever expire in any reasonable time.

I don't look at my cookies, I just delete them every once in a while.

That reminds of this time I raided a forum (Back when I was a prick) and when I checked the account later it said:

'You have been banned from this site.  The ban will be lifted on the date  March 17th, 2108'

Wow... I would basically call that a perma-ban... XD

That's what made it so funny. 

Like assuming I survived to that date and the site was still up I could return to that forum.

And who knows what might happen? Maybe there might be a war and there isn't an internet anymore... At least make it a reasonable date, for crying out loud! XD
