There are a lot of dead links here, whats up?
The short answer is, don’t worry about it, they will be disappearing as time goes by. But right now I am fully aware of this problem. The problem is really organic in that the nature of diy projects is that they are highly fluid, meaning here today moved (or in some cases, gone) tomorrow. I’ve done a lot of work to provide link owners the controls to make sure their links stay up to date, but I can’t make anyone update their information. Instead I have written a whole new indexing system that goes out and does a validation of links, and if they are not valid, they won’t be included in search results or category browsing. Also there is a feature to enable users to report dead links. This way a dead link can be brought to my attention when the system can’t catch one (there are several reasons why the system can’t catch a dead link, like a parked domain for example).
