::Even better, looking at other stuff in that source:
 
:: <td><input class="button" value="Log in" tabindex="104" title="Enter your username and password in the boxes provided to login, spin round three times, vomit, click your heels together and TA-DA!" accesskey="s" type="submit"></td>
 
:: Will this actually enter properly, or will those formatted tags not be input scrubbed? Tables ...  [[User:Keybounce|Keybounce]] ([[User talk:Keybounce|talk]]) 08:34, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 
 
:::Also, someone in 2003 couldn't have asked about a webcomic that was only launched in 2005. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.52.109|173.245.52.109]] 18:29, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 
 
The link above seems to be dead now. DNS failed. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.167.15|162.158.167.15]] 09:03, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

2nd paragraph of the explanation is nonsense! A forum post is nothing like a FAQ entry. The problem didn't get solved and was probably put away and forgotten. Happens all the time. {{unsigned ip|162.158.83.144}}
 
 
"The title text is a suggestion to forums to be aware of the fact that people are likely going to come across such posts in the future"  My pet peeve is when I Google an error and get led to a post like in the comic, and one of the last comments is a person necro-bumping with new information on the same issue, but then a moderator locks the post because its X years old and needs to be left alone.  This is the fucking Internet; data doesn't rot.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.212.83|108.162.212.83]] 13:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 
: From my experience the top search result on google usually is a locked post with no answer (other than the polite suggestion to google it yourself). [[Special:Contributions/162.158.203.16|162.158.203.16]] 04:16, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Try having a problem that Google has never heared of. My hard drive died last March, and in the process of learning that was what had happened, I had tried reinstalling the OS and got an error that yielded literally zero search results (it was Error 0xb9f3c820, by the way) --[[Special:Contributions/172.71.146.65|172.71.146.65]] 02:46, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 
: Nice try. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.147.129|172.70.147.129]] 05:07, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 
:: Well, now there's a search result, but it's this very discussion. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.150.173|172.71.150.173]]
 
:That doesn't look like error number, that looks like error address. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 18:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
