I noted that the videos which get deleted from the original server, leave this (and other) kind of empty boxes in the artist pages:
Could such dead films be removed manually when found and requested?

OK, there are a lot of videos which have been removed from the like of You Tube for copyright restrictions etc. I'm gonna go through them all and remove the dead links (might take a while)

No it most certainly doesn't. I have deleted all the dead links ( and yes, I have had more fun in intensive care, it took f*cking ages)Ouch

So no need to report expired videos?

Yes, by all means continue to do so as it's regrettable that it was left in abeyance for so long (sorry I'm just grumpy)

BTW I found two Nash the Slash videos in there, I mean I liked his stuff but Prog? WTF

I think it has sense only if admin(s) will pay attention to that thread.

Another idea was to give E&O team rights to delete videos, but it depends on M@X.

BTW, there are plenty of dead and inappropriate (like Metallium covering Deep Purple on DP page) videos.

Ok there should only be two DP videos on their dedicated page now that are legit ( Burn at the California Jam and Child in Time)

If there are videos on the archive with dead links that still have what looks like an extant graphic from the footage, these will NOT have been deleted as I only removed those with the dead link icon below (of which there were between 100 and 200):


So yes, apologies are clearly due for neglecting the video reporting thread and if you come across dead links you should advise us via this means thanks (Promise we won't let it get as far behind as last time)

Thanks for your efforts. Thumbs Up

I guess we can proceed in "Video Reporting Thread".

^ Indeed. I'll also keep an eye on that thread.
