It's always hard to build a directory of active sites, so I applaud you for doing this. This is asked many, many times over at IPS.

Feel free to redirect the owners and have them plug their link. It's a free advertisement and it would be nice to have an active list. I'll check in frequently when adding a new one if there is one that closed down.

Curiosity question.... could you not use the prefixes in Link Directory (or Showcase if that's what you are using)? I know that you can filter based upon prefixes in it (at least on my site I can).

Would save a lot of work and I think you can mandate prefix use. Just have everyone that has already made an entry go back and use the appropriate prefix.

Just have everyone that has already made an entry go back and use the appropriate prefix.

Extremely difficult to enforce. The staff would end up doing it themselves.

Not at time of creation... you simply require use of a prefix to create the entry.
As for those that already have sites... if it's not that important to them, then it's not that important to anyone else.
And it's not much more work than creating an index to visit the site and manually go back in and select a prefix for it.

Since the Link Directory already has a custom field for the forum software being used... having a small add-on that converts that to a prefix should not be hard to do.
