What was the most amusing 404 error from Apache's error_log?

[Omnie]

I'm tired of editing my last post countless times (and I'm sure you all don't want to have to go back and check if it's been edited), so I'll just add some new questions here...

Could you explain Kat's story arc? Who was she working for? Did she actually do anything to Beth's mom?
Why did GC malfunction? What was the problem there?
Jesse's post about his epilepsy - when did that happen? His time with the Emersons, or earlier? (That was a great piece of writing, btw)
MLO's notes on sheismissing - why does she have no credit history? Why the receipt from Chicago?
MLO's notes on heismissing - "She wanted contact info // long distance bills" Who is she?
What was the deal with MLO's request to be transferred to Seoul, and Avery's refusal? Also - Emily? Who?
The subway morse code message - that wasn't in Dina's dream. How did that happen? Was someone sending her a message? Is there a plot-related explanation for this?
What did we miss in our interpretations of Dina's hidden writings? (or in anything, I suppose)
How much actual info did we miss? Web pages, things like that? Should we (dun dun dun) keep searching? Or are you going to have pity on us and just tell us?

------------------------------------------------
Some things I wanted to note, because I'm not positive that I'll be able to be at the chat (although I think I can, and I'll try very hard to be there ):
Whoever sang Dina's songs was awesome. Also whoever wrote them.
If you guys could write an Epilogue: 5 Years Later or something along that line, that would make me very very happy. Probably not going to happen, which is why this is down here rather than up with the questions. Just wanted to, you know, point that out. Epilogues are good.

Were there any puzzles that took hours/days/weeks to create, and we solved in minutes?

Were there any puzzles that took minutes to create, and we solved in hours/days/weeks/never?

EDIT: And since that has already been asked:
Why didn't you tell us to stop looking at the October 1 picture?!

In Beth travel around the world was there any pattern or were they just points picked at random? I tried to find a pattern but could no find anything.

I didn't see anything about this on the list compiled by giskard, so here goes. Hopefully it's not too late.

Who got to answer the phone as Wongmo/AQN/Schaffhausen? Did you get frustrated when people who called thought it wasn't in-game?

Did you get the idea for the Phoenix aspect of Schaffhausen from the Firebird-part1.mp3 submitted by Joe B. or was that planned all along?

Was naming one of the hackers Statik a tribute to Statik who found the Metacortechs website?

Were there any IRC spies on #matrix?

Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island, discuss amongst yourselves.

Ozy,

I linked to that 80's quiz from your journal, and missed out on getting 100% because I misspelled "Jessie's Girl" (I spelled it 'Jesse', so it's clearly your fault). I'm trying to have the Supreme Court order a recount, will you be available to testify?

- were there any pages on *.thenekodas.com that we didn't find?
- was there an actual login for Underscore? would it have helped if we had spoofed the "correct" IP?
- was there more planned for the Phillip/AQN arc? I still don't get how it tied in the main plot.
- what were the missing composers for BALLADSOFFROGS? I don't think we ever positively identified 1,5 and 10.
- were there ever any logins for Metacoretechs?
- did anyone among us know who the PMs were (players, Mods, etc.)? There seemed to be some, erm, censorship going on in the forums...
- will there be a sequel? (I fear for your safety if the answer is not "YES")
- other than the FTP/HTTP snafu, were there ay other major blunders on your part?
- was there a lot of brute forcing going on?
- anyone actually try/succeed in hacking any of the sites?
- who did Wongmo's Mailbag?
- this.world.in.pain? community?
- any easter eggs we missed?
- Was the background for Paintover stock? If not, who did it (very creepy and "Ring"-like)?

That's all for now...

[EDIT]
- What's up with the 10/31 pic at CV? Was the guy behind the tree intentional?
- Is there some reason, other than sheer sadism, that you didn't/couldn't direct us away from 10/1 Paintover pic?
- Are there any legal issues faced by having a tie-in with a certain movie which shall remain nameless?
- Did you ever have any correspondence with any Brothers whose name begins with the 23rd letter of the alphabet?
- were you as amazed as I was by the dedication of certain players to the game? For example, BrianEnigma's repository at NetNinja (claps loudly)?
- Was there anything to the binary filenames at Paintover ("FIND THEM")? Or was that just more "finding shapes in the clouds"?

Beth: confused, life goes on
Kath: dead/missing
Ethan: hangin' with the urchins as 'ghosts'
Dina: dead/missing
Arnold: scamming more people

What does life look like for Phillip and the other characters (MLO, SafeSys, ...)?

[ChainedLightning]

The missing letters on the employee directory for Avery - surely ya'll weren't pointing to a football game between Miame and Tennessee? What were we supposed to get from it?

[trip]

A few questions I'd like to have answered:

- Was there anything I should have done at Cyberia Chicago that I didn't do? (Was there questions I could have asked, or information I could have gotten, had I said other things?)

- If I had left a note with my e-mail address at Cyberia Chicago, would Dina have e-mailed me?

- Who was Ceven, the Cyberia employee? How did you know the environment of who was there that day, or did someone actually come in to pick up the CD?

- Where the leaves in the Indy book in game, or a funny coincidence?

- How many calls did Dr. Shauffhausen get, and how did we do getting information from him? It took us a little while to realize it was in game!

Blame Rick Springfield, not me.

Just a few more. Sorry!

What was Robert Emerson's relation to Ryan?
What was with all the pictures of music on Dina's hidden pages?
What were we supposed to get from :
the sketch of Jesse?
"I'm holding on"?
the butterfly on the door?
Why did the Emersons get reprogrammed if the Averys were killed?

I don't know if it's just me, but I really don't understand exactly what the GC did. In the pictures (if those pictures are of the Averys), it looks like Agents were after them. Where does the GC come into this? He freed up their memories after they died? Sorry if this question is just based on sudden stupidity on my part...

[AnthraX101]

Were any of you in any way related to LokiNZ?

Did any of you post anything to the MetaCortechs boards on unfiction?

What is the server that #matrix is on? Thanks.
