Hi folks. I spoke to tony on the phone about this when I signed on as a forum mod. The reasons are many for not having a links page.
Using a app or bot of some sort will only get links from the forums.... and I quote tony
bcuk also gets many requests for links to other sites, if we start putting some up we would have to spend loads of time explaining to people why we can't put their links up.
This would take up loads of time and will just end up with companies signing up as users just to get there link in a post..... not to become part of the community :-(
Also we have a strict policy on dealer sales on the website and forums boards. So using a bot would be a problem finding out if the site is commercial or just an information site....
I suggest if you are looking for something, do a search in the forums, and if no luck, just ask. ooo and if you come accross any links you think people may be intereted in, post them in the Resources forum...... thats what it there for... where to get stuff and learn to do stuff ;-) though I have noticed alot of tips'n tricks in there aswell!!
Hope this clears things up a bit
Ed
