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"

[T. Cotten]

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.)

It appears, Folks,

There were suddenly twenty-one thousand users on the forum on 5-16-26.

The Antique Motorcycle Club of America's facebook page lists 50.1K members.

So Paul,

Does that mean forty percent of those members logged on suddenly?

This whole thread should alert our administrators to a threat.

I will delete it in its entirety, if we can clean up the corrupted live links.
