I logged on and saw the "Mythbusters" page was huffed,

I am curious to find out why and by whom.

Usually one finds out by typing in the page, going to the non-existent page, and clicking that giant "may have been huffed" link to access the logs. In this case it looks like it was a pointless redirect that was huffed, and the content is at MythBusters, but I could be wrong. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 20:34 Nov 16, 2007

Link from my userpage was red and took me to "article has been huffed" notice. But the page is back now, so I will assume the powers that be made things right once again. Haze1956 04:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The page was never gone — just moved. Someone created a redirect so that Mythbusters takes you directly to MythBusters. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 04:50 Nov 17, 2007

Actually, I created that redirect just now, there was nothing there before. In the deletion log, there were a few entries, though. Can't remember how long ago they were. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 05:03, Nov 17

Yeah, apparently ZB deleted it, after it was posted on QVFD. Mitch probably moved it, then posted the redirect on QVFD. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 05:05, Nov 17

I love a good mystery story. Excellent work, Detective Led! – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 05:09 Nov 17, 2007

Another case solved, thanks to the Sherlock Hardy Poirot Balloon, Private Eye/Pet Detective. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 06:09, Nov 17

You should get EA to make this into the worst videogame ever. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 09:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

So Mitch renamed the page making my link worthless, then someone redirected my link to the new page making my link once again worthful. - Haze1956 20:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the bank manager was dressing up as "The Creeper" so he could scare people away while he stole money from the vault. Your story is ok, too, though. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 20:55, Nov 17

It turned out to be a good thing that the Mystery Machine broke down just outside of this ghost town after all, right gang? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:58, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Aaarrgh, and I would've gotten away with it, too, if weren't for you meddling kids...and your dog! - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:48, Nov 17
