Report Hijacks, Dead Links, Inappropriate DMOZ Content, and other issues here ONLY

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?

ishtar · September 25, 2005

1525 and 1527 should be done.

Should I continue through the rest of the alphabet in the Personal Homepages here?

Yes!

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")

Artisands · September 28, 2005

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

#1536 dealt with thanks. I agree with you.

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China Vista http://www.chinavista.com seems to be outdated or full of links that don't work.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

ishtar · September 30, 2005

1539 and 1540 are done.

dvh · October 1, 2005

In category http://dmoz.org/Health/Addictions/Substance_Abuse/Resources/Education_and_Training/

http://www.bluewater.softwaredesigners.com/ is primarily a software company. The only education and training they provide is in the use of their software. Suggest moving to a different category.

http://www.forensic-drug-abuse-advisor.com/ redirects to http://www.fdaa.com - site still matches the description. Not sure if DMOZ cares about such things as you can still find the site, which certainly fits the category.

http://www.api.or.at/lbi/ - the vast majority of the content on this site is in German. DMOZ description says there are downloads in English, but I can't find any.

http://mcphersontrainingconcepts.com/ - uses the Intoximeter Drink Wheel without crediting the source (Intoximeters, Inc., allows use of their content but requests a specific bit of text and a link). Other content appears to be original, but mostly a cheesy commercial site.

Errors and Corrections.

I had previously cleaned up this category so it is not bad....but here are the few that are there. Thanks

The following Cat has these errors and corrections.

http://dmoz.org/Society/Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual/Gay_Men/Bears/

Bearcave Net - Actually goes to http://www.bearcave.net/~baddog/ which in turns appears to be a personal home page and probably would be better suited under this Cat. http://Http://dmoz.org/Society/Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual/Gay_Men/Bears/Personal_Pages/

Club Chub - Appears to be a domain but there is no site just the apache web holder

Flat Water Bears – Is under construction and has no real content and is probably better suited to be place back in queue.

Gay Bears Bed & Breakfast in London, UK – Appears to be more than just one B & B the description may need to be changed?

Northeastern Kansas Bear Club – Points to http://jctbears.xcaliburclub.com/ but it is now this http://www.jctbears.com/

zombie · October 2, 2005

This Cat has the following errors and corrections.

http://dmoz.org/Society/Gay,_Lesbian,_and_Bisexual/Gay_Men/Chats_and_Forums/

Boot Talk – Appears to a forum but there is no forum or content?

Ed and Scott – Points to this http://obeythetoaster.com/forums/ but is really this http://obeythetoaster.com/wordpress and is no longer a forum but a blog so the description need to changed to reflect that.

#GayMelayu – No such page.

Guy Chat – Not sure if this what it susposed to be but I think it may not be.
