    "So sorry, seems you've followed an invalid link. Actually, screw that, you're the one that's invalid. What're you gonna do about it, huh?
    Oh yeah, you probably want to be at Wordforge.net"

    Well if someone messes up a URL so badly (as demonstrated by Face), why shouldn't they be insulted? ;)

    Whoever made that should get a warning. Way to promote our site in a positive way.

    I was very offended by the rude language in the error message and as a result I even considered unsubscribing the site. But cooler heads prevailed. ;)

    Actually, the message was intended for hostgator, after they replaced the Apache default with their own banner page. Never figured on anyone on the board getting a 404. Sorry.

    Idk, if someone can't take a humorous 404, I don't imagine how they'll ever fit in here...

    So let's just get rid of them from the outset then?

    I didn't make it, if Elwood finds fault with it then I'll change it, but until then I guess it stays :shrug:.

    Just to explain...

    It's kind of hypocritical to have no trolling outside the Red and Gray Rooms rules and then insult (troll or flame) posters for a mistake that could have happened in any forum. :marathon:

    Thanks to Order2Chaos for changing it!!

    It's a joke, you know, humor.

    Changed again because I know certain humor- and homage recognizance-deficient posters would have called it a death threat. :garamet:
