"Dead link, bad link" Giveaway

[nutN2Lewz]

I just validated all the links on this site, so there shouldn't be any links that are 404. There may, however, be links that point to almost dead sites that display a meaningless search page or a "This page is no longer available" page.

The first member who finds a bad link on the HPT main site and posts that info in this thread will be eligible to win two setups of playing cards! Dead links in the forums do not count. This giveaway will end on July 15, 2008.

Post enough info in a message in this thread to allow me to  verify the bad link on HPT. You may enter this giveaway as many times as you can find a bad link on HPT. Please post each bad link in a separate message.

I will review all entries in this giveaway and make a notation in each entry that is valid. Invalid entries will be removed before the giveaway takes place, but may remain in place until then as an example of what is invalid.

Good luck, nutn

I think it's always nice to have a second pair of eyes and I hope this info helps you out. 

There is a dead link on this page for any of the Poker Gaming Products mentioned on that page (eg: Caesar's Palace Button, white Dealer button, black Dealer button and Missed Blind buttons.  Note, you have an index of links at the bottom of the page and the Poker Gaming Products link there works. Just not above with coordinating pictures.


Thank you! I fixed the links. This is a valid giveaway entry. ADMIN

There is another possible dead link on your Poker Playing Card page.  In the index of Playing Card Links, the LuckyRiver.de site takes you here.

Additionally, the links for GQPoker.uk.co, Ultra Poker, Stats Genie, No Jokerz, Astral Castle, Poker Firm, Direct2Public & Professional Poker Chips does not appear to work in the index listings either.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if these count, but I thought I also mention that there are 2 really dead links,
  ( which are labeled as such ) on the Keg page.

 Twin Firs kegerator page
A one-page site with basic instructions.
(Dead link June/07)

and

Five Star Billiards (Dead link June 08)

Not sure if you are intending to delete these, or just add "(dead link XX)" to the others?

I would like to thank everyone for helping me find dead links. This is a huge improvement to my site!

I will leave this message posted and if this Reply # wins the giveaway, we will run the giveaway again on the following business day and the winner can choose $50 worth of product in addition to their two setups of playing cards.

Good luck, nutn
