Crazy Cooter:

When I used to use FrontPage 98, it had a link verification process built into it.  I don't know what you're using, but if it's WYSIWYG, it may have that.

  Added.  We'll see if it gets much use...

  I added a "rating" system that's exactly like E-Bay's.  In fact, I "stole" their icons :) I figured that might be a nice touch..

  Thanks for the tip!  I'm not sure Frontpage will work though since the data is mostly database-driven.  I don't have to make a page for every single category, I just give my backend software a template to use and it takes care of everything else..

  I know they make Windows-based tools that will crawl pages looking for dead links though... Hmm..

You might want to get some people who are willing to verify links (like "myArcade Moderators"). This way not all the work falls on you.

Also - you might want to come up with a slightly better design (no offense meant, it just isn't that great, especially on larger resolutions).

Lastly - take a look at mod_rewrite if your host supports it (see: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting). It'll make your url's even cleaner (instead of "http://www.myarcade.org/?lc=DOS+JBs", you could have "http://www.myarcade.org/DOS-JBs/" or "http://www.myarcade.org/DOS-JBs.html", but it will still use your script)
