You've got to laugh. I was walking around the university and I saw an envelope attached to a noticeboard. On the envelope it said please take one: it contained little paper strips with the URL of a useful resource for students (hosted at another university). I thought that could be interesting (from an e-learning perspective), so I took one and entered the URL into my computer. The URL no longer exists. So I went to the corresponding department's web site and did a search for the resource. The links to the resource on the hosting web site were also broke.
When will people learn that once you put a resource on the web it should stay at that URL. If you move it, all the links that point to it will break and people won't find the resource.
I see this thing happening all the time - and it's bad practice. In the top 10 most popular pages for our web site is: 404, page not found.
