I think if the Internet Guide to Anime Cels were 
still being updated it would be a big hassle to 
do. It might have been easy to do 3 1/2 to 4 
years ago when the number of cel dealers were few 
and the number of cel galleries was around 45, 
but it wouldn't be easy at all now.

I was trying to keep track of cel galleries 
myself for awhile, but I gave up in November. Cel 
galleries frequently change names, change website 
locations, change from a cel gallery to a non-cel 
gallery, sometimes get erased (Nbci) etc. Then 
you have the cel galleries that are supposed to 
have anime cels in them, but never add any to the 
page. Then there are the dead cel pages that you 
can't tell are dead until you click the links 
because the main page is still working. There are 
cel galleries that are down one day and up 
another so they weren't really a dead link,etc. 
And lastly there are cel galleries that are down 
for renovations that may or may not return (how 
long do you wait before it looks like it'll never 
return....1 year? I know one cel gallery that was 
updated after nearly 2 years.)

It is a lot of work and I couldn't blame him at 
all if he just moved on. Fortunately there are a 
lot of good cel links at Cels.Org.

Yann...are people still e-mailing you every now 
and then about dead links on Cels.Org? It would 
be ridiculous to expect you to go through all 
those links yourself considering the short time 
it takes before another link goes down.
