So what do they say? For a 404, and for the entire list. I am just curious. New design is a new chance for new error pages. I don't like my text now and want something "more".

404
Page inexistent or moved, and I have a link to the home page.
Not much really. I don't want to eat bandwidth with images.

Hi :)

We put ads of our product and services on our error pages. Never miss a chance to market them online :)

Anyway, http://ultrashock.com/404/ this one is cool.

One important thing for a 404 page is to have contact information so the user can tell you how they came to the 404- what link was bad.

Well, you can also find out that by checking error logs

The 404 in my personal sites say:

Not Found Haiku

I am the server.
I say to you: "404"
Go back or go home.
