Some dead links in the different Readmes - Please Read!
« on: February 09, 2010, 07:47:46 AM »
I was not sure where to post this since it concernes some different Readmes on the main site.

I am not sure either if this has been fixed on the readmes that comes with the downloads, this is just about the Readme links:

(To answer the question why I put up with this is because of one link now leads to a very irritating adult site and can be offending for others, the main reason is because of nothing better to do so):

I don't think some of these will be corrected, but thank you for posting! Maybe some of them will change. Or maybe not. :)

Glad someone replied.

I also think there may be too much work and too little time, links becomes outdated or disappears from time to time, there are some sites that still refer to some of the old links and updating these links may be tedious work.

The post above can be used as an guidance for those particular links if someone is interested until the old links are replaced.

As I said in a previous post: The former link to the DLTCEP should be removed more because of the offending content now found on that adress; it is not something one want to find when exploring gaming possibilities...(check yourselves and see what I mean, but not if you're using a public computer).

Best Regards...

Yeah, obviously DLTC links are a problem. Ultimately, our main priority is keeping the modlist up to date, as it is much easier than updating a bunch of documents. But I'll see what I can do.
