Whereas the Texx Lexx link is still up. It still works but it only refers people to my new site: [url=http://xevofr2d2.tripod.com/]http://xevofr2d2.tripod.com/[/url]
If a webpage returns a 404 (missing page) error for the url that is entered in the database, it will automatically wipe the site from the index.
Normally this would be ok. But if the site goes down while the check is taking place (even for only a few minutes) it will be still be wiped.
The only solution I’m afraid is to re-enter it into SadHOO.
The other link didn’t return a 404 error. Ie. the page was still there, it just re-directed the user to the new url. We considered including redirects in the deletion process, but thought that would be unfair.
Please don’t feel singled out Xev of R2D2, it’s happened to a few peeps. But now that the database is ‘clean’ such upsets shouldn’t happen too often. Please re-submit.
