I get an error 404 too, yesterday the whole of spudfiles was doing that to me. Does it say that the page you requested is totally fake in the text box? And then it goes on ranting about being depressed as a server? Its probly a bit of PC guys humor to entertain those of us who get the errors while its getting fixed.

Here is what happened. Short version.

My host upgraded some things that I use and it broke a lot of stuff. They messed something up.

Tech version...
All of the pages here on SpudFiles and Theopia are parsed with PHP 5. They updated from PHP 5.1.x to PHP 5.2.0 yesterday and apparently did something wrong/bad in the update, causing any page that PHP5 tries to parse show a 404 error message.

I reverted SpudFiles and Theopia back to using PHP 4.4 so the sites stay online, but the Wiki requires PHP 5 to run so it will not work on PHP 4.4. So until my host fixes what they broke, the Wiki will be down.

Sorry for the mess.
