Pulling Free Sites - Might Wanna Check This

[Linkster]

Just a thought - Greenie and others - it would probably be good if we publish a cut-off date after which we will go back to the entire domains/submitter removals - that way everyone can be expecting the same thing - and to get us started - I propose we start this weekend - say Sunday?

Just a more general question about 404s. What happens if my server temporarily goes down for say 24hrs and you bot happens to check at that time. Would you then pull all my sites - or does your bot check back a day later or something?

I do a 3 day cycle on my link checker. You have to be down for 3 consecutive days before I pull your sites.

Sunday works for me.

I'll go along with whatever the rest think is good.

neveremail - I think that most pull the sites if they find them 404 - I know I had 30 sites pulled from LOR one time when my server was down for about 8 hours

Thats a pain - so you have continuous uptime for a year - drop for a few hours one day and find your sites removed. Thats a bit of a bastard indeed.
