Hi Sylvia and Friends
As you may be aware Yahoo finally shut down Geocities entirely. I noticed a few of the links on the Links page have now gone dead. It may be a good idea to do a run-through of the links page and weed out the deadwood. :)
It might be a good time to solicit new links too.

Hi Tim!

Thanks for the heads up. :)

Your message comes as quite a co-incidence because while I haven't checked PF's links page for a long time, I did spend some time going through every link late last night.  I found several that were no long working and one that no longer had any Playmobil content. I think only one was a Geocities site (Jeepmobil).

I intend to edit the page and remove the dead links today. I have a couple of new ones to add too. :)

If you or anyone else ever finds a dead link on that page again, please let me know by posting here. :)9

Hi Sylvia,

You probably already have this but better safe than sorry, the link for 'Amplified Ideas' takes you to a generic site that has nothing to do with Playmobil, also the 'blairmobil' site comes up correctly with the link but if I click on either of the 2 stories at the bottom "Safari" or "Andy Gets Unemployed" my anti-virus kicks in saying this is a known 'attack site'. :2c: P)

I spotted that one. :) Either they didn't renew their hosting or the site has moved to a new domain. I've taken it out for now.

Yikes. That's bad. I get the same message when I click those links. I've now removed that one too.


Thanks for the info, Steve. :)

Hello Sylvia,

The link to 'Toy Nerd Design' seems to be bad also.

Now I am worried about opening the sites  8} I have no idea if my mac is up to date its flue shots . It will be like going into a preschool and touching things  :0
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Ok, thanks. I missed that one completely. :-[

Feel free to suggest new links too. :)
