Error Messages With Personality
Domain name registrar 123-Reg has a fairly unique set of error messages which show an unusual amount of personality. Amongst the errors I have received this morning are:
The server is currently in an intergalactic battle to take control of the universe from the evil emporer. He will be back later.
The page you requested is stuck in a traffic jam, please try again shortly.
The page you requested is currently unavailable. Our server is currently on the telephone, please try again shortly.
The page you requested is currently unavailable. Our server has popped out for a bite to eat, please try again shortly.
The page you requested is currently engaged, please try again shortly.
Of course, these lighthearted messages can become a little grating if you see them repeatedly and the problem doesn’t get fixed. It would also be nice to have a little technical detail about the nature of the problem, to give an general idea of what is really going wrong.
