I just had an idea. While I was on wikipedia I noticed the 'Random Article' button and realized that this is what we need for TDC! A 'Random Game' button would spice things up for all of us and would revive some old games from the grave.
So the "broken" flag will turn off when the author changes the url? I suppose that would work.
Or perhaps it can just generate a random ID for the url and then sort through a list of broken IDs to see if it should choose a different one rather than making a "broken/not broken" flag for every single game.

This is such a great idea, has anyone admin alerted this topic?

I was thinking about adding something that checks links a while back, might impliment it, basically a script can run through and using the http HEADER method, check if a URL exists, this can also check for hot-link blocking too, and can DC mail anyone with broken links saying they'll be marked as none-working within say a week or two if they aren't fixed
Random download button could then just pick working links, hows that sound?
