I'm not sure why the forum moderators would be responsible for making sure all links to each poster's image depository work. I mean, that wasn't in the job description The_Tom gave me when I was asked to join the crew. Supply the bearded one with blueberry Pop-Tarts, make sure Abbadon following the restraining order, and persecute Snay unfairly I remember from the paperwork, but there was nothing on links.
Also, keep in mind there could be a myriad of problems causing a link not to work outside of a poster making a spelling mistake in the URL tags. Server downtime, account lockouts, DNS propagation, data center power failures, and the like are all possible causes and (unless one is running his or her own server) outside of a poster's hands.

Plus, as a new member, you cant view old links until you have over 1000 posts.

I was only kidding ya- there is no posting requirement to view old links.
I thought about keeping you on the line like a fish though....really, I did.
Geez....we're a hive of sarcasm and villiany but those old links really are gone for the reasons Siggy mentioned.
Your best bet for viewing someone's old artwork if the link is broken is to PM them nad ask for a link. Dont get frustrated if you dont get an immeadeate reply though- Flarites are all over the globe and have many distractions besides the internet. For example Mojo's on death row, LOA is moving to Alaska, Liam's a scientologist, Shik builds Lego, Reverend is addicted to porn, Aban's getting married and Charles is a defendant in that whole Worldcom mess.
All in all, a typical day at Flare.

Depending on how old the links in question are, it could just be a case of the site being gone. A couple places I used to link stuff from are gone for now, and I'm sure that many of the prolific artists here have either gone through multiple sites or even reorganized their site's file structure.
Plus, I think we're on the third iteration of the Flare Upload site. The first was a Virtual Ave site that was maintained by a member here (I wanna say Spike, but I'm not sure). It was deleted when Virtual Ave dumped its free service. The second was one Charles created at lobotomy.pleh.net. That one was moved to the current site, but all the links pointing to lobotomy are broken.

Blueberry Pop-Tarts. Damn, I've been trying to bribing him with Strawberry Pop-Tarts. Now I'll never make mod.
