If you notice broken PlanetQuake pages, please post them here.

A couple of weeks ago, PlanetQuake switched their system (or something) and I've noticed that a number of pages don't work. Word is that they are willing to fix those sites if someone notifies them.

One of the things I've built over time is this: Quake Navigator and aggravatingly have noticed tons of broken links to tools important to developers.

Anyway, it isn't just those sites either.

If you notice a broken PlanetQuake page that you knew was working until recently, post it in this thread and I'll gonna collect a link and email it to them.

Heheh, I think I'm very familiar with the broken links in my own creation, heh. Yah, I know about those, captain.

I'm talking about your run of the mill PlanetQuake sites like this fine example of a site with all broken images:

http://qgallery.planetquake.gamespy.com/

Or this one ...

http://quake_names.planetquake.gamespy.com/

Or numerous others.

Some PlanetQuake pages work right and converted ok, many don't.

Sassa, you joker. You were kidding wit me, right?

Ah, fuck it. I've been holding back.

Truth is, I hate this shit. It really pisses me off that PlanetQuake can't maintain web pages. Yeah, they might fix them if someone emails them, but I'd be more impressed if they'd fix them without anyone having to email them.

This isn't my job to do, but I figure if someone doesn't do it that a lot of old stuff is going to get lost.

This kind of thing isn't the kind of thing that bothers you until you go looking for something and then find the site is dead.

I will be emailing PlanetQuake a list of broken sites, but I don't like wasting my time on this one bit. If I thought someone else would actually do, I wouldn't even spend the time of day on this.

No one in their right mind should host a site with PlanetQuake due to this kind of <insert favorite word here>.

But the fact of the matter is, a lot of these are 6 to 9 years old when the people that spent the time and effort to make this stuff thought the PlanetQuake would maintain their sites well.

I have to say I'm very disappointed and that's saying it about as politely as I can.
