Link rot by domain snapping

The "gone site" perldesignpatterns.com was registered by a domain snapper and dozens of links in the monastery - including in posts of mine - are now forwarded to a sex site.

Not sure what the best strategy is ...

automatically deleting/replacing all links with a DB query?
relinking to a snapshot in the wayback machine?
mirroring of old content from the wayback machine somewhere "safer"?
ignoring?

Ideas?

A generic solution would be nice.

Seems editing to neuter the links (possibly include a "editor's note" at top\|bottom of such a post) could be long lasting if not also easier. Consider that at some point some other domains would become defunct. Someone would have to search for the URLs on The Wayback Machine. Would Internet Archive outlast PerlMonks?	[reply]

Ideas? A generic solution would be nice. I don't think there is a purely technical solution. We could mark links going away from perlmonks as such. Wikipedia does that by adding an `external` class to the `<a>` element, then CSS is used to append a little image, currently a box with an arrow pointing out of the box (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/skins/Vector/resources/common/images/link-external-small-ltr-progressive.svg?30a3a).

That would also help (at least a little) with people posting links to `(www.)?perlmonks.(com\|net\|org)` instead to `[id://...]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Standard mechanism is a link redirector page warning you're leaving perlmonks. This was suggested many times and tye liked the idea. A redirector could also construct a wayback archive link with date from node as an alternative dest. Redirector	[reply]

We did have a link redirector. It was abused for spamming. Edit Can't find the discussion anymore, but deactivation caused problems for choroba's CB client. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the 𐍀𐌴𐍂𐌻 Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

No, we had an open relay, which is not a redirect page that requires user to click proceed to proceed outside of perlmonks. if url is no longer in whitelist throw up a redirector page? search box link shortcuts like doc:// redirect to perlmonks.org, Keep getting 'Permission Denied' when try to post, Re^4: Post within CGI	[reply]
