Autodesk, in a move that could only be described as widely unpopular, removed old forum posts from Internet, leaving behind broken links and missing information.
I don't know the reason behind this, but to me this makes no sense at all. Why want to inconvenient your users?
If Autodesk finds that the cost of hosting old forum posts is just too expensive, I would suggest that Autodesk puts the data dump on archive.org, just like StackOverflow. In that way those who want to access the information can still restore it. And it will not incur additional bandwidth or diskspace on Autodesk's side.
Please Autodesk, consider this as a request, a service you can do to the community who has been-- for years-- providing free technical support on your behalf.
