<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1221828, member: 112"]Many times over the years since I built this section of Coin Talk I have heard from members telling me that this link or that link contained in these pages is broken or busted. You get the 4004 error in other words. OK, I understand that, and that is the nature of the internet. Web pages and often entire web sites that were functional some years ago are no longer functional. The owners of the sites may have quit paying the hosting fees, the hosting service no longer exist, the server has gone down - it could be due to a multitude of things. And I am always asked why I never take the time to fix things or at least delete all the busted links.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I'll tell you why I don't. It's because even if the link is busted that information that I liked to is still out there. And I if took the time to post it here at all, then that information is valuable and helpful to those who wish to study coins. And for those who are willing to spend a little effort, you can still access all of that information by using the Internet Archive - <a href="http://www.archive.org/web/web.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.archive.org/web/web.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.archive.org/web/web.php</a> . Go to that link and use The Wayback Machine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
