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

For your interest - the Cosign redirect doesn't look like it was deliberate - at the time they had no main index page - as you will see, it is now this one that is listed (without a date), rather than the individual conferences. This is much preferred by us, because it reduces the likelihood of the URL going away in future.

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

Re: Cosign, thanks for explaining that. I asked because I wanted to know if I should mention it if I come across it again. I will mention it

As long as I'm not putting undue pressure on anyone I'm quite happy to continue to work my way through the directory as my time allows. Some weeks I have lots of time (like the week just gone) and sometimes I don't have any time and you won't see me for a few weeks

Thanks

Jane

Jane, quite the contrary - pointing out stuff like this is a great help to us - you are giving us another set of eyes. As you are seeing, we are very quick to review and make the corrections you suggest - we would rather fix a broken listing than list a new site any day. We definitely believe in quality over quantity!

Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here

The site apparently closed and they just redirected to the forums. The forums are not active enough for a listing, so that site has been removed from the directory. Thanks

Not necessarily. If it's a discussion forum for a particular Squadron for the game then it's appropriately placed. Games/Video_Games/Chats_and_Forums is for discussion fora that cover multiple video games across multiples genres and/or video games in general.

Re slipshot.

Wrathbone, it was for more than one game. Thanks for the explanation, useful for the future. Thehelper has deleted it anyway.
