I don't understand what is the reason behind putting a broken link. May be they broke their head and lost their brain.

This happens to often

Bad and broken links are simply an irritation, especially when compared to more serious web concerns on this list (eg viruses and worms). The information is free so how much can we really complain when it no longer exists.

Especially when you are looking for your favorite site and it's no longer there.

i encounter a lot of these on the web and they drive me crazy.

Annoying, but not the worst.

This could get a little aggrivating.... you're all prone to view what looks like an interesting website, only to discover that this website may have moved or no longer exist. What's even more annoying is the message You are not authorized to view this page or 403 Forbidden, especially if it's a webpage I previously had access to. What happened to the website that casual browsers can't view it all of a sudden? What dark secrets could they be hiding? Heck if I know!!

It's such a pain to click on a link that you've been looking for, only to get an error message telling you that site doesn't exist. Or, it brings you to a completely DIFFERENT place altogether (Does ANYONE else find it disturbing that looking up things for rabbits or Winnie-the-Pooh online can lead to finding porn? I mean, ewww . . . )

These don't bother me too much, but it is frusturating at times to click on a link only to discover that it is bad. Then, to make matters worse, you contact the website to report the problem and they don't respond for a month.
