if it's helping notch make money, and its not degrading user experience, why exactly is it mad...?

if lots of cookies is a viable technique, the browser vendors will increase the cookie limit.

Then again, 640k of ram is enough for anyone.

It's not a website owned or operated by notch, it's completely independent (or at least, it was when it was created). I think it's mad because it probably is degrading user experience, just not in exceedingly noticeable ways (i.e. sending 139 cookies for every request takes time, so each page load will take more time).

This is correct, Minecraftforum.net is not owned or operated by Mojang, that is done by Curse.
