Very impressed, but so many broken links!

[Etrius]

As an avid Pirox user I was apprehensive about choosing a new bot once they closed down. After doing my own research and asking a lot of questions I decided to give Honorbuddy a go. I must say, I'm impressed. In fact I wish I had made the switch ages ago! I'm currently levelling toons 1-85 through questing, with minimal interaction

My only complaint would be the number of broken links in the forums - as a new user I'm soaking up as much information as possible about how it works so I can contribute my own ideas / profiles / plugins, but I keep running into dead ends. These are a couple of examples, but there are lots more:

This link is supposed to be a guide to making profiles, by Kick
This one should have taken me to monitoring plugins

I worked out how to use the SVN to install and keep updated some excellent profiles, I found a fishing bot for pools and open water and I've created a couple of basic profiles. I like to educate myself first, and then ask questions rather than posting "omgz need halp wot i do guise??" but it's difficult and frustrating when the information has been moved.


Please, moderators, I'll buy you a beer if you fix the links <3

I can understand the frustration, but it seems that whoever used to keep things up to date back a year or so ago is no longer here, or at least not active. And, with having to monitor developers, contributions, payments, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, keeping up all links on the forums is virtually impossible to do. Generally, if a link that you clicked on was in someone's signature and it takes you to a dead area, then I'd suggest letting that sig owner know his, or her, link is broken. You sound like a really educated person, so I'm sure you already know all this, so forgive my sounding condescending. I'm not being that way at all.

It really is hard to keep every link in these vast forums up-to-date and pointing in the proper place. The main HB team is rather small. We urge the use of the search function. I know it's a lame suggestion and all, but since there's no way to keep it all working 100% of the time it's all we have to suggest.

There is a tool or something that searches for dead links, but very low priority.
