It will take alot of time and we ask for your patience. Please don't make requests on what threads we should clean first. We have a process and we will stick to that. In due time we will all see an improvement in the section as we cull all the threads of dead links, dead images and old requests. Thanks in advance for your patience.

... I would like to send my greetings + THX @ all the moderators who are actually caring about the non-paid(!!) elimination of “dead parrots” [= dead links] in the VEF CP section!

FYI @ Admins (and other members): For cleaning and/or rearranging some “normal” database, an IT specialist here in Central Europe will get around 50-90 Euro/hour. For handling and/or restoring important data based on older software like e.g. dBase IV, a company might pay him/her up to 250(!) Euro/hour. I don’t know how much money a “cleaning” specialist in North America will get for his/her IT job, but I’m very impressed that you passionate(!) guys [= I assume that most of you are US residents?!] are doing this “cleaning” work @ VEF for "nothing"!!!

As there seems to be no VEF bank account where I could deposit some $$bucks$$ to honor your work … please feel free to click on one of the links below [= depending on your country of origin and/or your special gusto ] to have some virtual(!!) beer as my "special" reward for your wonderful work!

Number ONE should be "the right stuff" for Americans ... and Number TWO to FOUR should be "yummy" for VEF admins living somewhere in Europe ...
I can’t afford Champagne, but those of you who don’t like beer might click here to visit a “special” jardin botanique and pick some virtual(!!) "flowers"!

My regards for all the cleaning work done so far & my best wishes go to ballyhoo, blondifan, Darth Joules, keefriff, and sweatyhat.
[Ahem … if I've forgotten somebody and didn't mention him or her … PLS be “nice” and don’t ban me! ]

Cheers,

P.S.: @ Admins ... for your amusement … I’ve edited and uploaded a Special VEF Admin Edition of the famous Monty Python’s “Dead Parrot Sketch” [BTW: 640x480 … with a better resolution than the YouTube upload ]. The DF link is here ... without a pw
Enjoy and (hopefully!) laugh/relax!
For those not being fond of British humour and a British accent … PLS don’t reprimand me!
