Use http://archive.org to go back in time to when the links on the site
weren't dead.

For example, entering this page:

   http://home.att.net/~ashira/masn3_1.txt

(which is currently a dead link) into the wayback machine, as the
following:

   http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://home.att.net/~ashira/masn3_1.txt

Gives a list of dates that the page was edited, and links to the page
as it had been then.  Selecting the last date the page was edited, for
example, as:

   http://web.archive.org/web/20010409222327/http://home.att.net/~ashira/masn3_1.txt

results in you seeing the last valid version of the page.

IMHO, a mention of archive.org ought to be mentioned in the FFML FAQ.

It's a very useful tool for someone who knows where a fic *used* to be,
and can't find where it's moved to... archive.org can be used to
(re)read it without having to ask the mailing list.
