Link List Owners and Submitters

[selena]

The only problem I'd see with that is getting people to actually *read* the list.

I can't speak as an owner, and my vast ~snickers~ submit experience is mainly with TGP. But I can tell you that I don't go in through the front door of a site when I submit. So unless I go check their PR or something (which I sometimes do) I will not see that they aren't updating anymore. I don't always catch that TGP sites aren't sending me traffic via my stats, either, because of the sheer volume of them.

I think if it were me, I'd base my (re)action on the submitter. If they are submitting good stuff that I'd otherwise list, and they are using a recip that is dead, I'd reject, and mail them (1 time) the reason.

Or, rather than going through the pain of actually having to maintain and update the list yourself, you could just put a msg on your submit/rules page, in eye catching font, that submitters need to make sure all recips on the same page as yours are going to an active LL.
