Yep, no problem. How long do you think they should be left up before being archived?--Jimmy 00:16, 6 December 2008
Tools Link on Main Page
Why did you remove the Third-party tools link from the main page? This article is practically abandoned, not even linked to in the related links one --Navarr 03:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- I removed it because Dave Vanderburg (one of the MH developers) doesn't want it there. Look at the page history. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 04:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Why can't we just keep the list clean of abusive tools? Some of the tools listed are non-abusive and of great use. --Navarr 20:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- See reply on my Discussion page. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 20:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Any tools linked to on the wiki must adhere to the MouseHunt terms of service. In addition to this we have had problems with some forum-enhancing scripts launching mini-DOS attacks on our servers since they hit a large quantity of profile pages to render the information. This, coupled along with the fact we do not wish to "overload" first-time readers of the wiki with too many off-site links births the attitude of keeping third party tools on a "find them if you're looking for them" term. In short, we do not endorse the use of third party tools so we do not want them to have a strong presence on the wiki. --Dave Vanderburg 21:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
