Title: Old Hosted Sites
Post by: colecampbell666 on September 23, 2007, 07:15:31 pm

What's with all of the sites in the hosted tab? Half of them haven't been updated in 4 years. Aren't they just eating storage space?

yes. and some of them are owned by VETERANS (<-- keyword) to this community.

i'm sure 20MB isn't hurting anyone...

I know that, but some of these VETERANS haven't been on or updated their sites for years. (I know that you are)

He does have a point. The pages can remain on the server but that list at the top won't put up a good show for newcomers if they start browsing through the sites and find that so many of them are defunct.

well "not updated" doesn't necessarily mean "defunct".

remember we're talking about a game that's 5+ years old... there aren't really new additions, updates, patches, bugs, etc. to keep track of.  some of the information is correct, is rock-solid, and therefore doesn't need updating...

Yours is okay, as it's a general information source. I'm talking about the sites for unreleased campaigns where the staff hasn't been heard from for ages.

There are a few links there which lead to totally broken / useless pages -- Unsung Heroes, the Array, the Interview Center.  These sites have no information at all and might be better off hidden.
