I’m writing this as a personal favor to anyone working on decoding the IT Crowd Series 3 DVD Easter Eggs. There’s a lot of incorrect info going around, and although I have no interest in the hidden messages myself, I feel I should point out a few important things.
Firstly, my website www.reynholm.co.uk has NOTHING to do with the DVD. It’s a personal fansite, it’s been around for several years and I have no affiliation with Channel 4 or the IT Crowd. Please don’t email me asking for the password to the intranet, it’s easy to find. In fact I believe it’s on the Wikipedia page. And most of the sequences of numbers on the site (the password file, etc) have no meaning. Either way, nothing on my website will help you with the Series 3 DVD.
Secondly, and this is the most important one, all the IT Crowd sites are hosted on the same web server.
The IP address is 89.16.172.246
If you visit the IP address on it’s own, you get a blank placeholder site that says “The cake is a lie” and “Coming soon…”. http://89.16.172.246/
Here’s a list of the sites that I could find sitting on that server:
http://www.hokerspoker.com
http://www.itsveryblue.com
http://www.friendface.co.uk/
http://www.fiendface.com/ (Yes, FIENDface, without an ‘R’)
http://www.ilovewillies.com/
http://www.howlonghaveyougot.com/
http://www.bluffball.com/
http://www.bluffball.co.uk/
http://www.cuke.me/
http://www.cuke.co.uk/
http://www.reynholmindustries.co.uk/
http://www.ilovewillies.com/
http://www.itcrowd.com/
As with all these sites, if you go to a page that doesn’t exist you’ll get the standard “Coming soon…” and “Cake is a lie” error page. The same thing will happen if you replace “www” with something else. “Coming soon…” should be interpreted as actually meaning “Page Not Found”. I can pretty much guarantee that http://fakefakefake.bluffball.com/ is not just “coming soon”.
I hope this helps, it’s just basic knowledge to anyone who has ever run a web server or setup DNS 
Hi,
I’m just wondering how you know that fakefakefake.bluffball is important and where did you find it please?

I think you completely missed the point of what I was trying to say.
I was saying that no matter what you type in as a subdomain for any of these sites, you’ll get the same message. So the fact that it says “Coming soon…” for fakefakefake.bluffball.co.uk doesn’t mean anything.
You’ll get the same message for fake12345.bluffball, thisisnotreal.bluffball, anyrandomsubdomain.bluffball.
If you get something different to “coming soon…”, then that means it’s probably a valid subdomain.
It’s just the way the server has been configured to return error messages, instead of saying “Page Not Found” they have changed the error to “Coming soon…”.
