you know back in 2009 or so I did an experiment where I made a site that was designed to not be linkable. Like, every page used encrypted POST query strings to the same URL, so it was impossible to link into it, only to the front page. a friend said it was the worst thing they'd ever seen

and even that abomination didn't intentionally break the back button!

@foone This reminds me of youtube links. You know how you can tell the browser to open a link in a new tab using <a target="_blank"? If that link goes to youtube, it will not work, the browser itself shows an error. I don't entirly understand how or why, though. Also, when opening them with the scroll wheel instead of a click, it works again...
