Unofficial h2g2 Bugfinders

When the website gets stuck and displays a "server too busy!" page, this is still all dressed up in BBC named links (and attempted BBC logos).

The main body text:

"Sorry! We're unable to bring you the page you're looking for right now. This is probably because our site has suddenly got very busy. Please do try again in a few minutes."

is neutral.

It's all the surrounding gubbins which is wrong. The BBC toolbar at the top, the claim that the link on the left is the "BBC Homepage" (although it really points at h2g2.com now), the send it to a friend link (bottom left) which references:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/maintenance/toobusy.shtml

and the bottom of the page set of links, which still include "About the BBC". Although, again, they actually point at h2g2.com and are broken because those pages don't exist on the new website.
