Dead links on the out of BA page (in Off-topic)

Lot of those games have dead links and since that little page is user maintained it doesn't get updated.
Could we have the possibility to report dead links? Like a small button "report dead link" that triggers a message in the admin forums or something like that?
Or have the possibility to delete the dead links?

check g bee's post, it is about the third one down and explains that there is a process and it is being done continually to check links and remove the dead ones. basically they have an administrative tool for performing this and it is run weekly.

I also check the activity of these regularly via the Admin tools as well.

P.S. Just checked it right now, and only 2 links were inaccessible.

I ran a sweep at the start of this week and a couple of the links were moved from live to coma. The sweep Brent carried out yesterday most likely either moved them from coma to dead, or found another couple of new ones.

You've just been unlucky Henk.

and what about these:

This one is called War Bears but if you click it you get a search engine.

Just removed that "search engine" link for you.
