Someone screwed up!

Either you typed the wrong URL or we broke something. If you think it's the latter, let us know. so we can tell you it's your fault.
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. On the other hand, you might be wearing mittens or can't type well for reasons we'd rather not think about.

Please try the following:

Type with both hands, sicko!

Technical Information (for support personnel)

This clown probably messed up, since we're perfect. Or nearly so.
Use the following steps to rid ourselves of the burden of solving the problem:

1. Put him/her on hold for 30 minutes then say "Clear your cache and if that doesn't work call us back."
2. When they call back, say "Did you close down all your browser windows and try again?" and disconnect them.
3. When they call back, say "You need to reboot your machine. That'll fix it. Guaranteed. Call us back if it doesn't."
4. If they call back, blame Microsoft.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you've made it this far, try the following:

If the URL contains the word "beta" in it (which it might if you got a link from a search engine), remove the string "beta/" (don't forget to zap the slash) from the URL and try again. or
Go to our homepage.or
Send us an email with the URL that caused this error for you, and tell the nice man you got a 404 error.

Bob,

Since you appear to be online and Matt is not, perhaps you can answer this question.

When IHUB first started I had the impression that the ADMIN of any given board was free to keep their thread cleaned up.

Today, it seems that any thread I have created now has a disclaimer that any post on a thread I created that I wish to delete that is more than 24 hours old, I must get Matt's approval to do so.

Why is that so, and when did it change?
