Flash is VERY good at using too much CPU, being insecure and generally messing about search engines.
I don't like flash :)
Check apple.com/html5 - there's some impressive stuff on there, and none of it uses flash.

Won't that tell notfound.html to point to index.php?page=notfound?
In my experience with mod_rewrite, it messes stuff up more than it makes stuff look good.

In my opinion, softalicious is rubbish anyway. It messes about with the files. If you ask for support for a softalicious installed phpBB installation at phpbb.com they send you away, it causes that many errors. Always install manually.
