...some odd behaviour on the forum?  If I go to www.crazyontap.com I can see the thread index fine, but clicking on anything throws up a 404; if I go to crazyontap.codaris.com it works fine.  Whatta gwahn?

It's a DNS problem.  You flipped to a DNS server that hasn't replicated, or your cache is borked.

Try restarting the browser.  Worked for me last night.

or if that fails, just flush the DNS cache.
ipconfig /flushdns

Assuming you're on windows and that is the correct command.

Is it a real 404 by the server or something else?

It's a real 404 but I think it's from Jeff's site?  Not sure.

For me it wasn't the default Firefox "Can't find page" dealie.

Yeah that would have been bounce back at you from my site. CoT just started resolving for me this morning.

It was resolving fine for me a while ago, but at work today I was still getting redirected to codaris.  And now, without doing anything, it's working again...  I'm all confused!

Wanna talk about weird - look at Li-fan's post on JOS (Li is a great guy...but it's still an odd post).

I think they've been having moderator wars or something. Threads keep disappearing and reappearing, and even Li-fan's post suddenly appeared midstream sometime later.

"Mad props"?
Huh.

I put it down to Torontan Hong Kongese exuberance.

Try saying that after most of a bottle of wine and a lamb bhuna.

Shit!  Can't do it.

I expect the mods are trying to out-do each other in their modness.  All in an attempt to avoid being labeled with the p-word.
