It indeed happens when you're looking for something specific that you only find dead links, and using search engines can sometimes be a drama instead of a help.
That's when communities like these come in very handy, sometimes word of mouth is the best way.
I suppose a lot of things are spread this way, through bulletin boards live journals and IRC etc.
There are quite a number of furrys who've got web sites, and I sometimes find a lot of interesting stuff there as well.
Sometimes WikiFur comes in handy:
