I find I really enjoy doing this; it satisfies my almost obsessive desire to tidy things up and make 'em right. I hope my editor application is approved.

Thanks for the info, SYM. (I've edited your post to add my reaction.) If you keep doing that, I don't care whether you're an editor or not -- you're a contributor.

Thanks, hutcheson. I figured the blank/error pages I was getting on the two was a temporary thing.

I'll certainly continue doing this, editor or no (besides, I think my application was already declined - it's been a long while since I submitted it).

Should I continue through the rest of the alphabet in the Personal Homepages here? I have a feeling there are going to be hundreds and hundreds of dead links, and I don't want to spam the thread. Maybe email or PM the bad links to an editor?

1525 and 1527 should be done.

Dead Links in NZ Guides and Directories

In the category
http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Oceania/New_Zealand/Guides_and_Directories/

3. Kiwi Directus http://www.kiwidirectus.co.nz/ (redirects to http://www.inmagazine.co.nz/pages)

7. New Zealand on the Web http://www.nz.com/mainpage.html (page cannot be found)

Dead Links in China Guides and Directories

In the category http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/China/Guides_and_Directories/
the following seem to be dead links or not updated for a long time.

1. China -- Facts at a glance http://www.asiaspirit.com/a-cn.html
(Not updated for years. e.g. yuan-dollar exchange rate upto 2001, also states that no stock exchanges are online whereas two, Shanghai and Shenzhen, sites are available)

2. China Bridge http://www.thechinabridge.com/ (seems to be totally devoid of content. Drill down into any of the categories and you are greeted by a common response: No document has been found in this category

3. Ocrat Chinese Links http://www.ocrat.com/ocrat/links.html ("This site does not exist at this time")

1535 is done. Drinkwater, Mary was working when I tried it. Thanks

#1536 dealt with thanks. I agree with you.

http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/China/Guides_and_Directories/

In the category
http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/China/Guides_and_Directories/

China Vista http://www.chinavista.com seems to be outdated or full of links that don't work.

Sample headlines: Fairs and Exhibitions China 2001
Latest reports about Chinese Economics: latest are for 2001
China Statistical Report: latest are for 1999

When you click on China Impression Tours, you get no content. Go on down and you eventually get a script error

Etc Etc

category: /Arts/Music/Chats_and_Forums/Styles/

1 - Trance Creator Board - http://p080.ezboard.com/belectrodaze
A tiny forum that has moved to http://trancecreator.com/Tcv5/index.php
The forums of that site aren't big enough to warrant DMOZ'ing either

2 - Rosey's Honky Tonk Chit-chat & Rendezvous - http://members.aol.com/GilTyrrell/chat.html
Horrible site, chat script is permanently empty. Not useful to anyone! Not updated (copyright notice) since 1998

3 - Rap Rippaz - http://rap****.proboards6.com/
Site must have died, but is now effectively contentless. No new posts for over a month.

4 - Rap City - http://allemin3m.proboards6.com/
Dead. Redirects to http://www.proboards.com/index.html

5- Midwest Drum and Bass - http://www.mw-dnb.com/
Dead.

6- Metal Heads - http://metalheads.proboards9.com/
Dead. Links to http://artofrock.proboards34.com/ but that's a new, empty forum too.

7- Latin House Message Board - http://pub18.ezboard.com/blatinhousemessageboard
Not sure if this should be in. Very low quality, low activity small board, but has recent posts. 50-50.

8 - The kind that hurts the most - http://pub23.ezboard.com/bperfectlittledream66706
ANOTHER extremely low quality forum hosted on one of these ad-filled free board hosts. Very little value to anyone browsing DMOZ. This cat is apparently full of them. Given the thousands of much bigger, better and less ad-spammed forums out there, that's disappointing. This one has very few recent posts

9 - Garage Chat - http://www.wyze.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.pl
Dead link (internal server error 500)

10 - DanceBBS - http://dancebbs.lusciousrecords.com/
Has had all posts deleted, now reset to just 600-odd posts. Of questionable value to DMOZ. Recent activity though.

11 - Classic Rock Chat - http://www.4-lane.com/musicchat/pages/classicrockchat.html
No actual rock chat going on.

12 - CCMChat - http://ccmchat.com/
Dead link (server timeout)

that's almost half the links in there. This cat has been completely abandoned
