The mothballed Ripley front page used to show a dolphin graphic, a few links, and a suggestion people redirect to the Pliny front page.
Today it's showing an old front page from 2004 
You get this if you click the orange "Front Page" button on Alabaster.
Just typing the link
http://www.h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/alabaster/
gives page not found.
Opinion, Spock?

This has been spotted already, Icy. My opinion is that it is confusing date formats and giving us 13/07/04 instead of 07/04/13, the date the front page was published. Nobody knows why yet, though.

Thanks Gnomon. That seems a strange thing to suddenly start happening. I suspect someone's been tinkering...

It happened last week sometime, after Ripley died. Nobody tinkered with it.

We'd need to cross-examine whoever recovered it, then

Just watch the light while we ask you a few questions, Mr Pastey.
