What does this mean?

[Dixie]

I'm trying to go on Fool's Gold, but I keep getting this error. I go to favorites and click on the part that says "Fool's Gold" and I get this white screen that says "403 FORBIDDEN." The only error that I've heard of is "NOT FOUND"

What does "403 forbidden" mean?

[Dr Unne]

It means what it says. The webmaster set the permissions such that you aren't allowed to view that file / folder. There are a lot of HTTP error messages. 404 is just the one most people see most often.

[Dixie]

Oh!

I thought that it was some sort of complicated thing.:)

[Doomgaze]

It means it's down again, most likely because Aaron is a moron :)

EoFF needs a fool's gold forum

I like getting response 400 :p

[Dr Unne]

Can't beat good old 410 though. One time someone was semi-leeching a large file from my server, so I gave him a 410 Gone error every time the HTTP_REFERER was his server. Good times.

[Dixie]

Does anyone know all or most of the errors?

[Shoeberto]

Probably someone with all those crazy MCSE and Cisco certs. Or just a big nerd.

Clout and FM then ;)

[crono_logical]

I don't have those certs. Yet :D

Besides, you can see what all the numbers mean if you look up the appropriate RFC (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html) :p

I checked Fool's Gold yesterday, and it gave me 403, and today it gave me the same message!

Where is Aaron?

[-N-]

Don't go to Fool's Gold. Problem solved.

[Peegee]

To fix your problem go and pinch aaron :D

[Yamaneko]

He ran out of bandwidth.

[Doomgaze]

Because of all the PORN

[Rostum]

Because of all the PORN

Ooo yeah, I know how that feels. Common Aaron, you can do it! :(

[Dixie]

I swear to goodness that if I ever see Aaron post again I'm going to run away.
