This has been discussed extensively between the moderators. MCA has discussed some items related to this and other issues with Henri.
As far as the broken links go, MCA has the history of the old posts and I think you can look up the old post title on his site then search this site - not a good solution. With a great deal of effort the links could be corrected.
We are fixing individual posts as they come to our attention.
Maybe MCA will drop by and give us the details if I missed or misrepresented something.
