Thank you Guys for taking the time to have a look at this. The way the script is setup it does timestamp the post and would not check it again until the next day. We did run it on a demand basis but we could have made a cron job to check it once a day. The problem I think we faced it was the first time running and it had so many links to check and bin the dead ones and send auto pms to the original poster the server went nuts and over loaded. I stripped out the pms but it was still too server intense. I would like to have an Opportunity to rewrite it and maybe set up a time where we can test with your permission and get your feedback if this script is at all plausable and server friendly.
