Why did THW just rick roll me?

[tee.dubs]

I clicked on the Models archive to have a look, and to my surprise i hear what sounded like beaker going "mi mi mi, mi mi" followed by rick astley, with no way to stop it. I had nothing else open and at the bottom of the browser read something like it was opening a source from youtube. WHAT IS THIS DEVIL'S WORK?

 

[Just_Spectating]

the server was probably just down for a bit.

a lot of sites redirect to that rick roll thing when its a 404 error or w/e

 

[LordDz]

Try voting at your own resource, I love that one.
EDIT: It's removed?

 

[tee.dubs]

oh nothing was down, i was able to see everything as normal - only there was rick astley.

 

[FrIkY]

Yeah, you probably had a 404 error, page not found. Something like this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/fgsfds

@LordDz: Yeah, I also noticed it... why is it removed? D:

 

[Hubcool]

Don't worry dude, RickRoll is like a blessing,

YOU'RE BLESSED NOW! =D

Be happy,

 

[Anachron]

RICKROLLED! Welcome on the earth man ;D

 

[Pyritie]

maybe your flash plugin didn't stop when you closed that tab?

 

[Mulgrim]

Rick must feed.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Youtube e.g. likes playing in background tabs :/

Ehm, virus?

Yes, for some reason I do get that actually, with this song which actually represents "rick-rolling". This weird glitch does happen a couple of times, with the Muppets otherwise. This is happen during my previous scrolling on the models, however it only happens occasionally.

Eventually, I tried it today and it didn't happen now, but I have experienced it before. Not sure how this got there in the first place too.

Ok its happening everytime i scroll through the models section now. whether its the pending models or whatever "MI MI MIMIII MIIIII" followewd by rick astley's manly pipes. normally i wouldnt mooind but this is just getting wawy out of hand now, whenever im on the older comp i have to download the page. GET IT OUT OF MY LIFE, I LOVE YOU TOO RICK BUT I'M ONLY ONE MAN.

It's not a 404 error, here's whatsit lewks lyke.

 

[Hell_Raider]

yeah, this is realy annoying me. It does it every models page...must be waisting a hell of my downloads...

Get AdBlock Plus, filter the video, be fine

Get AdBlock Plus, filter the video, be fine

To do that he'd have to block all YouTube embeds, maybe even all vids.

Plus, I don't see anything in Adblock+ filtered stuff, and no active connection to youtube in NoScript.

 

[Deuterium]

Mute your pc

voidSkipper Sayz:

The youtube embed is on the server's 404 document. It is coming up because there is for some reason an iframe open that is supposed to load hiveworkshop.com/width=0, which does not exist. If you adblock the following URL

http://www.youtube.com/v/3KANI2dpXLw&hl=en&autoplay=1&loop=1

You can prevent it from coming up without blocking the rest of youtube.

Personally I would say that the rickroll is more pleasant than the apparent alternative.

Lawl, what dat ?

 

[Coolty44]

Don't worry, you'll get used to being rickrolled after awhile. I've got the lyrics in my head..

Never gunna give u up! never gunna let you down!

Edit: Right click and click play a few times, it gets interesting (for what hell_raider linked)

 

[Ralle]

Can you rightclick and get page info to see if any file has not been found?

Nuwai, that thing is awesome!!!
Anyway, yeah, this rickroll thing is incredibly annoying...

 

[Anachron]

Annoying? The rickroll thing is one of the best things here!

And btw, you deserve this:

and this:

 

[X-OMG-X]

Yay, i have also been rickrolled sometimes. I love that nice video playin.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Iz epic. Muzt keep eet.

Seriously, it's kinda nice to replace that boring 404 - Page not found error with something else, and what better alternative is there than Rick Astley????

 

[Coolty44]

Rick Astley is your god. My Rick Astley fsjal is 2nd god in command when Rick Astley cannot be contacted.

But it is nice to see a diffrent 404 error, then plane generic error pages

 

[wereguy2]

And btw, you deserve this:

Wut? It hasn't even been a month...

 

[MultiGod]

does it rick roll? for me when I browse into models section, hiveworkshop often goes network timeout.

 

[Ralle]

You only get rickrolled if THW does not find the page you requested. Not because of a timeout.
It is really weird that you hear rickroll when you browse the site.
Are you using the wc3sear.ch skin?

 

[Mulgrim]

the OP is astley's chosen student.

it makes sense

Yes, I use wc3sear.ch skin.

 

[Ralle]

Good.
Can you try and disable images in your browser and see if you (after a refresh) still get rickrolled?

 

[MultiGod]

disable all images? how?

 

[Ralle]

In firefox you have such features.
