Deep within the bowels of the PaperDemon website exists many different sorts of things. And sometimes you'll follow a link that leads to the most lame page on the site...
Hopefully, you've never come across this page. It's our File Not Found page, and it looks pretty dry. I thought it would be really fun if we did some sort of random message thing that everyone contributed to. Everyone could write up a paragraph or two explaining why the page can't be found. You could even submit a drawing to illustrate your explanation! Everytime the File Not Found page is visited, a different message is displayed attempting to explain why the page has gone missing. A link to your profile will be included with the message so you get proper credit for your writing and drawing.
Please submit your submission as a reply to this thread. Include the text within the [ quote ] tags.
I'd REALLY like it if the drawings are done with just a #EEEEEE background color so that I can blend it right into the page. But this isn't a requirement.
What do you guys think?

I love those random 'file not found' pages. This sounds like a great idea!

Ok, here is what I have come up with
Hello and welcome to Keen's File Not Found Page! It's not really my page, but I might as well take it unless it belongs to Bogusred >.> <.< Since you have found this page, your house will be tracked by government agents along with the stalker aliens. They will arrive at your house in 5 seconds.......are they there yet? They shouldn't be, cause I was just kidding! I know this because right now I'm outside your window, watching you and waiting for the moment to strike! Uh oh, I think a raccoon spotted me, so I'll get you next time!

you could have a picture of a PO'd looking lady sitting at the lost and found desk with a silly not found message beneath it. ( submitting ideas since I have no idea how to make any trad. media work with my computer)

Yes! Sounds fun. I love those random messages! I encountered one that read:
'OMG You broke the internet! Just kidding.'
or
'The page you are attempting to reach is not here right now. Please Leave a message at the beep.'
I'm sure we could come up with some clever error messages!

How about something like
'The Paper Demon is currently OUT. Come back later, when he's done hunting staplers.'
and accompanying it would be a pic of a dungeon door or something, and a sign attached that says 'Back in 10'.

I'll try to make some art to go along with these soon:
One:
Wild 404 Error appeared! What do you want to do?
[ Go to home page ] [ Contact BogusRed ]
[ Random art ] [ Refresh and hope the page adds itself ]
Two:
Wow. You seem to have found what we in the computer industry like to call a 404 File Not Found. This means that you tried to go to a page that doesn't exist on the server.
You may want to contact your local McDonald's for further instructions.
Three:
The 404 File Not Found error is a lie.
