I wrote a new 404 script that dynamically redirect old URL to new URL, based on a database. This will be useful especially when we change forums (soon), to keep old addresses intact. And also when pages transition from the static stuff in db/ to the museum pages.

You can test:
http://wip.smspower.org/whfdhfhdjhfsdhfsd

However this one redirect to somewhere else:
http://wip.smspower.org/magic
