Lilly3 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hello ODP community. Lilly here. I'm a newbie. :-) My apologies if I'm not properly detailing a dead URL/website in this post. If there is a proper way please let me know as I'd like to help out. Here's a first try: Category: http://www.dmoz.org/Reference/Education/Colleges_and_Universities/College_Life/ Dead Listing Title: eGrad Dead Listing URL: http://www.egrad.com DETAILS: URL landing page reads "remodeling" and links to a loan website. An archive.org search reveals the website has been "remodeling" since December 2007, see: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.egrad.com

Editall/Catmv makrhod Posted August 13, 2008 Editall/Catmv Posted August 13, 2008 Hello lilly3, and thank you for helping volunteers to maintain the quality of the directory. There is a "sticky" thread at the top of this forum where anyone is welcome to report things like this, so if you'd like to help us again, that would be the best place to post. As you can see, another volunteer has already dealt with this dead site, so thanks again for pointing it out! FAQ about becoming a volunteer ODP editor. I edit for the ODP and support those guidelines at all times, but my opinions are my own.
Lilly3 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 I see the "sticky" thread now. Oops. Thank you kindly. :-)
spectregunner Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 In the grand scheme of things, it is a very tiny oops, and the active editors are delighted to have that kind of participation -- so feel free to come back and contribute as often as you wish in that manner. All and all, it is a really neat way for non-editors to contribute to the well-being of the directory.
Lilly3 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 Thank you spectregunner. :-) Finding dead links is therapeutic in its own little way.
Editall/Catmv makrhod Posted August 14, 2008 Editall/Catmv Posted August 14, 2008 If you are enjoying helping us, may I suggest another, even more therapeutic option: apply to join us! (And shhhh, nobody point out that "therapeutic" is but a short step from "addiction". ) FAQ about becoming a volunteer ODP editor.

Lilly3 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Hi makrhod. Thank you for the post. You're right about the therapy being a short step from addiction. But, as a wiseperson once said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." :-) I've found more dead links and will post in appropriate forum. Bless, +Lilly3+
