There might be some truth in them not wanting to link to here as some of the reviews aren't too glowing. That said, the bulk of them are gushing!

Reason I say this is I know their Facebook comments get heavily moderated and deleted when they're not too favourable. Of course, I'd like them to link as there's a wealth of knowledge on here but it makes no odds really. The link from Hugh's site to here went (along with other site elements) when they redid his site for Monsters.

Maybe, when I get round to separating the Gigography out into it's own site they can link to that.

Won't that be a fan running that - and therefore so obsessive there can be no band criticism?

Can't imagine JJ giving a crap about bad reviews.

Haha yes, this is the thing. Regardless of how I (or you) feel about the new material, people who like it are going to like it anyway.

Agreed - I'd find it a bit weird for them to drop the link now.

I’m sure it’s just a coding error…

I wasn't really being serious. I haven't looked at the "Links" page for years, as you all say it's clearly in the middle of some alterations though it's unusual to publish a page without checking it.

Maybe it's nothing sinister at all, after all there are still links to sites for Paul and John, albeit to sites that either don't exist or don't work any more.

I know he doesn't bother with this forum (can't blame him!). But I know he has checked out the Gigography.

Yep, it's a mirror of society but steered by utopian technocrats - JJ's martial arts derived Zen probably helps him a lot in the face of it.

As an information source, yes 👍 He's not going to actively engage with social media - and you're right, you can't blame him!
