I'm not a massive user of this newsgroup - but I think it would be
useful if we all could submit to a BBC Micro links page at the online
archive. That way we could potentially keep tabs on any changes within
the community regarding dead links, as well as providing a means of
directing BBC related traffic to benefit from such pages. If we inform
the page owners that they are linked from the mailing list website - and
to ask if there are any changes (downtimes, etc) to let us know, it may
help the situation.

Don Maslin's CP/M archive surely?
Besides, some people take their sites offline or change the content
without
actually passing away. It is just about as big problem no matter the
cause
of useful information disappearing. Sometimes there might be commercial
interests behind those decisions, but sometimes I feel it is more due to
nobody thanks me for what I'm doing so why shoud I keep doing it?
Best regards
