Preserved Topic: Creative 404 pages

Hmmm - seems some of these guys are spending WAY too much time on their 404 pages: http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/03/22/creative.404.errors.idg/index.html

Maybe I should resurrect my "000 Nihilism Not Found -- philosophy does not exist on this server" error message.

how do ya change the four oh four?

. . .

It's a pretty basic Apache setting.

create an .htaccess file with this line: (change the path to your 404)

ErrorDocument 404 /errors/custom404.html

Raptor I thank you so much, after reading that page and its contributions im pretty fucked up right now thats just some halarious shit! Maybe we all need to make our custom 404's and have a contest on who's is the funniest...

Bugs.. no it doesn't

Ok, so this one made me late to work....

How about that!? A whole game for a 404. Sheesh.

If I were a judge for a clever 404 contest I think I would prefer something more relevant to "file not found" like the other ones so far. But cool game all the same!

he-hey!
That's my site.
I just saw this site fly as a referrer in the access_log
Just dropped by to say hello.



What games other than yahtzee would you like to play (html only - no flash etc).

Ducati... yes it does.

Bugs

Allow me to me the first to welcome you to the Asylum, popeydotcom. So what first gave you the idea to make that your 404 page?

A few weeks ago we saw a miniature golf game done in flash. I'm with you, I prefer the dynamic HTML variety. So I would quite like to see a dHTML minigolf game. What d'ya think?

Greetings. I've changed my website loads over the last 3 years. The provider I was using had limited space, so I could never keep everything I wanted online all the time. So I ended up putting stuff online for a month or so (just long enough to get on google), and then remove it. Problem is of course I keep getting 404 errors.. infact there was a time recently when my error log was longer then the access log. There's something not right about that. Then my mate Keith came up with Yahtzee and it sorta made sense really. We're planning another one for when this gets tired.

mini golf!? in html... hmmm overhead view or 3rd person.. hmmm it might just work!

I'm thinking overhead

Heh. My OZONE 404 page loads a page called "lost.cgi" which just send you... somewhere else on the site. So, if you get lost, this page just makes it certian that you get even more lost.

Your pal, -doc-

My God.. thats a lot of work...

Bugs.. what are you talking about? LOL When you click on the link it opens a new window, so there is nowhere to go back... Maybe thats why it doesn't work out for you...

Ducati, I'm just playing with you. The little arrow next to the "go back" text points to the right.
If I wanted to convey the concept of going backward with only the choice of left or right... I would choose left. It's no biggie but it did catch my attention when I saw your 404 page.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

tom that one is hilarious. I sat there for the whole thing. hahah!
