I have a 15-year-old weblog that has over 6000 external links. I have

a plugin that combs through the links and reports the errors it gets

on each one. In many cases, I can redirect the link to the Internet

Archive, but in some cases the original site's robots.txt prevents

this, which is a rule I disagree with: if it was once posted on the

internet, it ought to be fair game.

Nearly half the links have died over the years and a fair number of

them just inaccessible, even through IA. It's too bad.

And yes, I agree, dates and times on posts and relevant version

numbers would help a lot. I find a lot of tips that apply to PHP4 when

searching on version 7 features and it's pretty annoying.
