    Aggressive dialogs begging for my email = close tab. I don’t care what your excuse is.

    Also, 404 (Not Found) is the dumbest name for any site ever, so I’m just as glad to see it go away.

      Who cares what the name is? They produce decent quality content

        The first time I went to their website, I left immediately because I got a big pop-up with 404. Tried again, same thing. Third time, I saw it was just a pop-up asking for then-optional registration.

        Thankfully, they changed their pop-up design since then.

          It’s one of those names, which I suspect seemed like a good idea in the pub at the time and which they should have jettisoned as soon as they sobered up.

            I think it’s okay, I would have voted against it, but they really need to be careful with their website design.
