    I am a small contributor to that forum. But it is time to say that this forum was and still is the best I am in in the last years (I lost the count). Yes. It gave me a lot to my interests in learning and for that I would like to THANKS all of you.
    It is true. The world is changing so the art of photography but we need to remain connected as people.
    A lot of gratitude for all of you.

    With respect, my understanding is he took a much-needed sabbatical of undefined duration . . .

    I just joined but it seems like half this site is just dead links.

    well, so far your profile shows no posts/shares. Though you did purchase GOLD, so thanks for supporting the forum.
    It is a chore to keep up with links....

    Make sure to use that report button to surface the dead links you're encountering! As @lkngood says, dead links are just a fact of life in this type of forum and some members are better at keeping on top of their links than others. After a certain point where you've shared so much content, though, it becomes literally impossible to keep on top of them all. Doing your part to report links you see helps to surface the links people are still trying to access. Simply clicking the like button and then moving on if the link is dead doesn't do anyone any good. Sometimes a moderator can help draw attention to the fact that a link needs addressed (members are required to respond to a moderators request) or at least let people know that a thread is officially eligible for mirrors. Worst case, if there's no response, we can toss the thread in the trash so it doesn't happen to someone else.

    You can always ask for reupload. I have some dead ones, but I try to keep them uploaded. The only way for us to know if one of our posts is dead is you guys tell us, most just give a like, see that the link is dead and just move on, don't say nothing. This way is very difficult to track them down and keep them in order. Just like @curiousdude said and I already said that lots of times

    Be careful. Too much free stuff might turn you into a giant blueberry.
