Upon browsing your website for some tutorials I used to use a year or two ago, I've noticed that nearly everything with "high click counts" has moved or has ceased to exist. I know you guys need numbers for your site, but it would be nice if once monthly you guys went through and cleaned out the tutorials, weeding out websites that have moved or gone down completely.
-Just a friendly tip

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Dead links are always rather difficult to deal with, particularly with 40,000 links we have in the database or something ridiculous like that. I have some ideas to programmatically clear out broken tutorials that I might be able to slip into a future release to help out with that. In the meantime, thanks for your patience with this... it's certainly hard to keep everything up and running 24/7.
Zach

I'd be willing to help you guys in finding dead links if you want :D

Hi,
I noticed that 2 of my tutorials that I submitted years ago here aren't sending you to the page, it's saying that the links are 'definately broken' - when in fact, they are not broken at all. I submitted the links under a different name and can't remember the login info.
How can I get these links re-established?
Thanks

Devlyn- let me know which tutorials they are (their URL on Good-Tutorials would be fine) and the link to your site that they should point to and I'll look into it for you.
