Hi. Extremely-late third post?
(I came across this page via the random article button. I don't even read VSM, though hey, free extra tdwtf! I didn't even see any evidence that there was a secret page hidden on that article, though. But then, I've never been that great at puzzles like that.)

Quite easy: I tried to find the first article on the site with a little bit of url manipulation (http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/2000/5/default.aspx) and it just gave me this link...
Admin
A bit late I guess, but I just got here w/ Random Article :-)
Admin
Was trying to find the first article also, set the year to 1998 and started paging through...
Admin
I may be late... But after reading about this. I just entered DevDisaters in the searchbox. And here i am!
Admin
The WTF is that you can just search, no need for those hard/long methods!

Me too

I also found this page via the random article button, but I took up the challenge and worked it out; there certainly is a secret link in the article.
Hint: It's somewhere in the example subject given in the article ;)
Admin
I didn’t read the original article, but I found the secret link on the repost http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Tale-of-the-Cryptic-Encoding.aspx.
I guess that the compressed data was intentionally slightly damaged so less people would figure it out ;-)

Piece of cake: remove the extra spaces in the base64 string, then:

Came here starting from 1st article

Got here by copy pasting code from http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Tale-of-the-Cryptic-Encoding.aspx.
Admin
O boy am I late
Admin
Not as late as me :)
Admin
later still ;)
random article... aren't the odds small enough to warrant a dedicated price? after all, finding this page more than a decade after publication.. i must be incredibly lucky or a very big fan
