Boda... have this discussion at work and with clients often enough. Even if there is little 'heat" on these links they do have some SEO value. Not as much as a few years ago, but still measurable. I started putting Social Media feeds down - Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. there and have seen some bumps.

I'm not really worried about that, they were just duplicated in some cases. We had the standalone links page that had a lot of the same links on it but that page went the way of the dodo when I had to remove vBAdvanced as it is what allowed for custom pages within vBulletin. I'm pretty sure I've got custom pages sorted coding them by hand so if I put the dedicated links page back up, I had planned on truncating some of them from the footer area. Obviously that will also (albeit marginally) help with page load time/speed as there won't be as much HTML to render.

We may be stuck with vBulletin longer than I had anticipated because Xenforo's roadmap is up in the air with the troubles that most forums are experiencing.

So I looked through the Google analytic data on the old link page and pretty much the only ever clicked on was other team's forums -- like 93% of the clicks. Since that was the case, I scrapped the separate page and just put the opposing team forums in the footer for quick access.

Also added some additional ISU links of interest.
