Back in the mid-90s, it was common for bands to have no official site, one or two popular websites, and maybe a hundred small startups. When the Links section first opened here, the idea was that anybody with their own Tool site could freely post their link here.

With the advent of bands' official sites, the quality of maintenance of the smaller sites decreased; link posting had gotten out out of control by 2002, and this page was littered with bad / defunct links.

Now, finally, gentrification has come through; the list has been cleaned up, and link posting has been permanently disabled. (But if we've missed a really amazingly worthwhile and relevant site, we will certainly add it).
