Sadly, I suspect this thread would have appeared on the trending page and would see more of a response if it did. I think the people showing up here are those who wanted to report the page not found error. And once those links are gone, very few new contributors will show up.
It might be interesting if this thread were linked to some of the more active forums and to see the response.
