I did get a few notices from some of the AVSs that some of my sites had gone 404. Not surprising since I deleted the entire directory of AVS sites that I had built. It's been years since I had built an AVS site and didn't even know that anyone still had them listed.
Linkster, so you had a few of my old sites still listed.
For the last few years everything that I've built is in one directory and I pretty much killed all the other directories since that meant they were well over 2 to 3 years old. With the way sponsors have come and gone or changed their link codes a little housekeeping goes a long way into solving the problem of having links that are no longer making money and are basically sending free traffic to sponsors.
Maybe we all should have an once a year an amnesty month for webmasters wanting to clear out old stuff.
