Remove 'Error 404: Memes Not Found' CloudFlare Page

[Verringer]

Nearly close the tab every time that I see it, I get the joke and all but it's just confusing displaying an error message as a joke on an error page.

"thanks for ur suggestion but denied because i like this message because is funny!"

Maybe find a different error code? here's a list of the possible ones, expressed in cats: https://http.cat/

My point is more don't use error codes on error pages as a joke because it's confusing.

How does one think "memes" is a serious error code? Ignore that it says Error 404, memes itself is a joke thing so people should put it together.

I don't think it's a problem for people who sit reading the whole thing / use a mouse for everything / are light users.

It's a problem for people like myself who focus on something recognisable (ie. error code) and then as a reaction close the tab before the page finishes loading.

Perhaps:

Error 69
Error 1337
Error -101

Because they are memes

Yeah remove all error 404, 405 and other errors that you're likely to encounter in normal web browsing. I know they're trying to be funny but the way the page is structured right now, it's a "oh shit" moment every time I get one. Never lasts more than a second or so but it detracts from the user experience enough that its worth mentioning.

lol is it just me or i never cared about this and always knew it was cloudflare loading

So you immediately lock onto the Error 404 part but don't read the big blue letters.

I think it annoys more people than the number of people who really appreciate that page.
So in my opinion, it would just help more people if they remove that certain one.

I personally was happy with the old screen even though I don't care about it overall.

Would love to point out for people who actually have experience in web (and even development), it's hard to avoid the 404 bit because it's (depending on the work you're doing) rather common.

really annoying given how often the website has been down recently..

Yes, because it looks similar to the page we used to get when the site wasn't available.

The Error message catches the eye better as it contrasts more with the background, guarantee that the first time anyone sees that their eyes will be drawn to the "Error." Honestly I closed an re-opened the page a few times after seeing it for the first few times, I am not used to static cloudflare pages, and I understand the concern. If anything it is just really confusing. I was contemplating making this suggestion myself, but Verringer beat me to the punch.

Happened to me and 2 of my friends. I agree

I'm so used to MCM being offline that I don't even realize the errors a joke.

 

[Orochimaru]

I sorta agree and disagree. I was thinking that we could have an option to turn it on and off, but 1 that wouldn't be possible and wouldn't be easy to make even if it was.

people can just be confused sometimes just dont close the tab
