This thread will serve 3 functions:
1 - have you found a dead link on PixelJoint? Tell it here so it can be removed.
2 - do you know of any relevant links that should be added? Post them here!
3 - any other suggestions to clean up PixelJoint (without having to overhaul the whole design) are welcome too.


I was working on a wiki page about PJ and doing some research when I noticed that many of the links of the main page have rotted. I think it's time we sort them out a bit, clean them up, and add new links if appropriate.

I will be going through the links on PJ, and check which ones work and which don't. However, I'm just one guy and I can't spend all day doing this - so any help would be appreciated.

First batch, from http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/links.asp?id=2043
These links should be removed because the domain names have expired and now only show ads.

Lastly, we'll also want to remove the following sites because these are not exactly good examples of pixel art, both in terms of technique and subject:

Kongregate Art          http://www.kongregate.com/forums/5-art (mostly NPA, hardly any pixel art, people use JPG)
