I have always wondered about this:

Was something going on that day?

Clodfobble · 06-18-2009, 08:24 AM

Some IotD was linked on Fark/Digg/Reddit. I think that one in particular was the Air Force base that got filled with emergency foam?

glatt · 06-18-2009, 09:08 AM

The foam was a year before. I think UT said that when the Cellar changed hosts, the records got reset. I think the foam was even more people.

DanaC · 06-18-2009, 08:59 AM

Huh huh....she said foam...

Shawnee123 · 07-01-2009, 06:52 PM

I accidentally missed a w and typed ww.cellar.org and got a blank page with the word Guh in the upper right corner. I thought that was weird.

Clodfobble · 07-01-2009, 07:16 PM

Nice. That must be new, because I know I've mistyped the address in exactly that way before.

Undertoad · 07-01-2009, 08:17 PM

Guh is the default page for the server. Any address not configured will return that.

lumberjim · 07-01-2009, 08:19 PM

why isn't it 'cock'?

Undertoad · 07-01-2009, 08:22 PM

my standard word instead of ur standard word

lumberjim · 07-01-2009, 08:25 PM

are you trying to say it's not all about me? cuz that's just crazy talk.

Shawnee123 · 07-02-2009, 07:37 AM

Well, I don't know much about the intrawebz (I mean, I know it's a series of tubes) but I would think that if the www wasn't right it wouldn't go anywhere.

That's interesting, UT. I sort of found a Cellar Easter Egg!

Clodfobble · 07-02-2009, 09:28 AM

It only goes somewhere because UT has put something there (a Guh page.) Most sites will automatically resolve to the www. address if you just type it in without it (like http://cnn.com, for example.) But not everyone takes the time and effort to do that. UT just loves us, that's all.

Shawnee123 · 07-02-2009, 09:30 AM

OK, I see what you're saying.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.

How can I search for the "quote of the day" thread? The word "quote" is omitted, and the remaining words are too short to register.

I just wanted to post this:

Here's the thread: http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=9799

Sometimes it's easier to google:

site:cellar.org "quote of the day"

Use the above including quotes. It tells google to limit itself to the cellar and search the entire string between the quotes.
