As far as the 404 it is not an old script as it is in the new forum . Such as a new topic was created the another member will try and reply and it gives them a 404 Forbiden.
The missing links,some threads older than DEC 22 we are not able to find. It as if none of the internal links are working.
Oh and 98 was when the site was created. So yes older than dirt.
