I saw ;cid= on more than a few occasions. I can't say how recently, and I can't recall the browsing environments, but I saw that string often enough to spark my curiosity long before I saw Steve Diamond quote a URL of this type.

Where, if anywhere, is ;cid= most likely to appear inappropriately? I'm happy to test in a few browsers with some embedded and non-embedded forums created by me.
