Better than last year, although I still don't get why they don't work for me without using a proxy...

I voted other because I still can't see the pages on the subdomain. I just get this page cannot be displayed.

I enjoyed the error page when clicking on an "article".

There was an error in fetching the article.
It may be due to your crappy system, or maybe because you're a retard.

Please click here to go back. Do it right this time, n00b.
It would've been a lot better if IE supported the random-page scripting.

That pissed me off yesterday. At first I thought you were hacked again, then I thought you were really gone after I saw the goodbye page...

I answered other. I vaguely remember being at mcdonalds.opentechsupport.net and playboy.opentechsupport.net, but I don't own a calendar and I don't go outside so didnt kno what day it was. and nothing looked diffrent. Only the first two of the links work now. Sux that Adobe's online store is closed; The aol one is the best, in my opinion.

I wish I didn't get the playboy page first. That gave it away. How long did that joke take to set up? That's a lot of work for one day's joke
