Oh wow. I had no idea it was this bad. I thought a few links here and there were bad and was going to clean it up. Almost every link has been lost. That's very disappointing.

@Big Kahuna @SuperJETT what happened here? Is this information still in existence and the links are just broken? Can this be fixed with new hyperlinks or access to an archive?

Just the links are broken, the threads are still there. The links are in vbulletin format from those years. I used to have a link rewriter installed but it broke when I did a major xenforo upgrade. I'll check to see if it was ever updated or someone made a new one.

So the update is the add-on was updated and worked for people for a while but has been broken for over a year now and no fixes for it.

So, I'm working on a mod_rewrite to do it, but will see how that goes.
