Damn, as someone who sometimes navigate by guessing URLs and rewriting them manually in the address bar, I hope more don't start doing this, I probably see at least one self-inflicted 404 per day at least.

Why would you do that?

		Faster. Wanna know the pricing? $domain/pricing. What's this company about? $domain/about. Switch to another Google account? Change the 1 to a 2 in the URL. I guess mostly to avoid the mouse ultimately.

Sounds like you're keeping all your URLs alive forever? Commendable!

Not so many...

And there are tools to scan for dead links.

		Can you scan my bookmarks? :) edit: i.e. if someone has a bookmark to a page on your site and it goes 404, then they are blocked for a year. You have no ability to scan it because it's a file on their local system.

They're rotating through huge pools of residential IP addresses.

		The 2GB RAM didn't fill up with banned addresses, but YMMV.
