There are many scripts directories on the Internet. Most, however, are old and stale. By "stale" I mean they have hundreds or even thousands of dead links.
Either that, or they are populated mainly by affiliate links advertising over-priced scripts, many of which may be downloaded for free elsewhere.
What's the solution? I'll tell you. The new scripts resource at the V7 Network.
At this time the scripts directory contains close to 2,000 scripts, albeit most of those in the PHP Scripts category. (The other popular categories are ASP, Perl and Javascript. )
The format of the scripts directory is geared towards usability. For a sample view, check out the PowerSeek listing. From there, one can proceed to the PowerSeek details page, PowerSeek Reviews page, or the PowerSeek Problem Reporting, or the PowerSeek Refer a Friend page. Overall, it must be one of the better scripts directories on the world wide web, definitely a step ahead of HotScripts.
