Wouldn't say that the following is "broken", but... it's noteworthy.
GOG made sure that the chat system doesn't allow you to chat with yourself (remember the glorious self-PM-loop bug?). But the way they did this is quite funny. I just realized that the chat links are always the same (www.gog.com/u/username/chat), so I started to play around with them. Entering an invalid username gives a 404 (as expected), but entering your own username gives you the "overwhelmed by popularity" message (also known as Atlas-GOGbear).
My first reaction was "Uh oh, I broke GOG..." oO But everything seems to be working as normal^^
