Topic: "dead" group links

Message 1 / 4
Dean BedfordMay 1, 2009
 

 
I occasionally receive notes asking me about the growing number of dead
links in the links section.

It must be frustrating for new members to click on dead links so I've
decided we should have a clean-out. Still I'm reluctant to just delete
files which may be only temporarily down.

Charles Kerr has sent me this list. What I'll try and do today is email
directly whoever seems to have added each file and ask for their view on
whether the link should be removed.

But I'm opening this "housekeeping" type issue to anyone else who has a
thought on how we can keep the list tidy and up to date.

As I say - I think we should be careful not to delete a file until we
can be sure it's as dead as John Cleese's parrot.

Thoughts...?

I

I just updated all the links for "paul merton in china." I'd have done it sooner, if I'd known they were dead.
Can I suggest that folks email the "keeper" as soon as they find a dead link---and don't just complain to Dean. I don't read the list every day, but do usually check my email. (But in this case, the notice email was languishing in my spam folder for some reason....)

I'll now look and see what else I can bring back to life....

To be fair, writing to the "keeper" hasn't been spectacularly successful
either - only four of 12 have replied to my emails.

Not sure where to go from here.
