Link directory
The Link Directory is a curated collection of the web your community cares about: the tools, the resources, the friendly sites, gathered and maintained together instead of scattered across a hundred topics.

How it's organized
Links live in categories you define, and each category can carry its own extra fields, so a category of tools can ask for the platform, and a category of shops can ask for the region. Members submit links, and submissions can wait in a pending queue for your approval before going public.
Keeping it healthy
Members can report dead or bad links, reports land in your admin pages, and the analytics view shows which links your community actually uses, which tells you what to feature and what to prune.
A directory beats a pinned links topic the moment you pass a dozen links: it's browsable, categorized, searchable, and it doesn't decay into page four of a thread. Migrate your links topic into it and pin a pointer instead.
