Link checker not working?

It seems Linkspun link checker (spider) doesn't work.
It works... It was just going very slow.
Reason being there have been a large number of people who straight up left the adult industry. About 70,000 trades were dormant. Meaning both parties hadn't logged in for months and both sides of the trade were in error. I automatically turned all of these trades to stopped. That way the bot doesn't try to run them. When it does try to run them it often finds that both domains are no longer working. If that happens it can take 60 seconds to timeout per domain. Do this on 15 trades and that is 30 minutes the bot is just sitting there. Normally it would be hammering out hundreds of trades in that amount of time. So without all of these dormant trades it should run quickly again.
I also killed trades that were begun, but then one party stopped showing up and both trades had nothing set up.
Some stats...
The oldest surviving trade is trade #282 between me and Slyhands made on:
April 28th, 2010 5:47pm
The next oldest trade without me in it is #568 between Zerovic and Vesta1
The newest trade is #1937850 which puts us close to our 2 millionth trade.
