I know that a good quarter of what we have on ours is dead, disbanded, or renamed, and it's often times confusing for people looking for Free Company's to discern the difference without having to check through sites, lodestones, and more to make certain they're applying to an actual FC.
As an aside, it does take an incredible amount of busywork to maintain listings from an administrative point of view. I started the hall cleanings after my first post here and just finished. There were 145 entries to archive with an average of 9-12 clicks/actions needed for each one. Some of them I know were active even, but getting a person to bump a thread or to get the original poster to report it for archiving often doesn't happen. This leads to a lot of groups' listings looking old and stale even when they're still around. It's something that the updated site look and feel will grant some more control in. People will be able to self-archive/unarchive listings if they were the one who posted it.
