Years of porn links on the forum!

[T. Cotten]

As some of you know, Folks,

We lost Moen of VirtualIndian recently, so the domain was snatched up by a sketchy platform, thus now twenty-plus years of the bubble-testing discussion live-links in at least a hundred and eleven posts (on this forum alone) are worse than broken.

No good deed.... .. .

Tom;
SAD I was able to save your article on bubble-testing but only the text. We are are getting older:" Love em while you got em"

It was saved to the WayBack Machine, Paul,

But the corrupted link survives in literally a couple hundred of my posts back to 2002, and there is no way I can update them all.
(And in dozens of other's quotes, too!)

Naturally over the years, I also shared the link with other vintage motorcycle sites; Since they trolled me off, I guess their forums are now part of the problem, and so the hobby suffers.

Cotten, you just proved a very important point: the internet is only archived until someone stops paying.

I’m sorry for this outcome. I learned from those links and appreciated seeing different approaches to common challenges.

Cotten, you just proved a very important point: the internet is only archived until someone stops paying....

Not exactly my point, Chuck,

Since it is archived;

The problem is two decades of worse-than-broken link posts that now just frustrate any new people searching for a clue.

I tried to visit another forum I supported for a decade, until about a decade ago, and it appears that a great deal of my posts had been scrubbed off anyway. (But that was probably just a hostile mod.)
