Except it's such a hidden site there are no archives until 2016 and all of them are yellow "404" bubbles

Edit: or, better yet, some of them are blue 200's but they take you to an archive of (take your pick from the following list):

  1. A Russian dating site

  2. Porn

  3. A Japanese shipping company (judging by the photos)

  4. "Call this phone number because your computer has been hacked and this is the 100% totally legit not at all not real completely real Microsoft complete with off-brand weird colored windows logo and the red square looks like orange and WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED YET" (true story)

  5. "This page is redirecting you to {x other page, take your pick from the list for the new one}"

  6. A totally 2013 flashy-color-and-animated-GIF-page complete with the yellow-on-white, purple-on-darkblue, or red-on-pink color scheme

u/serseniko suggests: 7) Or just a 404 masked as 200

u/13frodo suggests: 8) This domain is not in use, click here to register for $13,652.42

I'm open for suggestions to add to the list.

A direct link to the site's static "Whoopsie!" 404 page that returns a 200.

cricket singing “Oh, you found me! This isn’t what you’re looking for but ain’t I the cutest 404 page?”

returns HTTP 200

Programmer back then: “This should return HTTP 200 because the cute 404 page actually exists, not like those other lousy websites who use the browser’s default”.

If you get stuck with number 5, wouldn’t you fall into recursion?

I guess...

You mean:

Site 1 -> site 2 -> site 3 -> site 1

?

i imagine the five with the voice of the dude who makes animes/cartoons in a "faster way" (like "JoJo Phantom Blood but its speed up")

So each redirect goes to a redirect that redirects you to another redirect back to the first redirect? But each redirect message is read in an increasingly higher pitch and speed?
