It's not pretty when a web server cries.

By the way, with all the talk about stealing web content going on around here I'll point out that I saw the concept used on the h-realms.com 404 page a couple of years ago, and it wasn't at h-realms. As I remember it, pretty much the same text... I have no idea which came first so I'm not accusing anyone, just saying I've seen it before.

Yeah, that error message is not unique.

It was posted over @ UBBDev - http://www.ubbdev.com and MasterMind (the owner of hrealms) decidd to put it on his site :)

Had a file laying around with some of these in it, but it appearst to have gone 404, Not Found itself!

Here is ours:

Oops. The server doesn't seem to be able to handle your request. Or maybe, just maybe the Mozilla monster got it...

no no. See, the page you saw was available from my boss's website/intranet for sometime. Created by me. Some people grabed it without knowing its copyrighted, including whateverwebhost...

Glad you like it..

No wonder that poor web server is so depressed. Its webmaster thinks that ***** is a *good* web host: http://www.h-realms.com/hosting.html Oooch, sound to me like that poor web server has had a rough life.

Mmm... Nope sorry the best "we came up with that idea..." has to be from British Telecom with their fantasy that they created the hyperlink...

Gotta laugh at the way that we went from...

"Wow, funny LOL" :D

...to...

"they stole that idea"... :angry:
