That's weird, I don't think I've ever been on there before but it says "Welcome Mishra", linking to https://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/secure/finger.c?player=.... A cookie is set with name User and value "mishra-1".

Is this some kind of session leaking or does it automatically generate a user for you?
