dead links

[Steffen]

there are still some links online on ldraw.org, dating from the server transition.

they contain the URL "new.ldraw.org", pointing to nowhere now.

example:
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/faq/#20

can we grep for those somehow and replace?

[Steffen]

I also just noticed that our syntax specification

http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/fileformat.shtml

lacks the description for custom RGB values

[Roland Melkert]

That page isn't the active one (old layout?)

This is:

http://www.ldraw.org/article/218/#colours

[Willy Tschager]

It's the very first site. I urged Chris to take the whole thing down and I'm sure he did. Could be that it has been restored in a backup. Chris?

[Chris Dee]

I've not restored anything.

[Orion Pobursky]

I can kill or redirect links like that. I'll work on it this weekend.

[Michael Heidemann]

It is not that outdated page alone that can be reached.

Summarize so far:
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/ - the whole folder "reference" is outdated
http://www.ldraw.org/community/ - the whole folder "community" is outdated

I am also not shure about http://www.ldraw.org/library/, but the documents showing there might link to wrong places.

JFYI

Just noticed this one on the successfully submitted parts page:
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modl...d=189#potm
Which is meant to link to the rules for Part of the Month. The link is dead but does potm still exist?

[Orion Pobursky]

POTM along with all the other contests are inactive at the moment.

[Chris Dee]

I have (temporarily) removed that notice from the successfully submitted parts page.
