It seems that Narutoforums has gone a complete revision to their forums, which would mean that all of the links that directly link to Narutoforums are now broken.
To fix this issue in the quickest time possible, it would be highly encouraged for all of the members to find any profiles that have narutoforums links to them, especially in the AP and Speed section, and replace the broken/dead links with the new ones from the revamped forums.
This is a major issue, but if all of the members here could lend a hand, this issue can be solved in a reasonable amount of time. It would be grateful if you guys can lend your assistance.
EDIT:
The links that are saved in the Wayback Archives are INTACT. This saves some of the work that needs to be done.
Also, do not remove any currently dead links from the profile pages. This will give a false impression that the calculations that the statistics are based on do not exist. If they remain, others can search for the new URLs, and update the links at some later point in time.

Found this method out on the Asura stats thread, thought I'd share it here.
Basically just find the old URL, for example, this: www.narutoforums.com/blog.php?bt=26509
Then copy the last numbers in the link (26509).
http://www.narutoforums.com/xfa-blog-entry/xxxxx/
Copy this sample URL and paste the numbers from the old URL over the x marks.
http://www.narutoforums.com/xfa-blog-entry/26509/
It will then redirect you to that blog.
As you can see in the example I gave, this will work for deleted blogs as well. In this case, Vivi's.
The pages by Vivi Ornitier/ClassicGameGuys are also backed up in this thread, and can be reposted as blog posts here, after which they can be linked to as well.
If all else fails, you can check if the calculation pages are stored in Google cache, but only do this as a very last resort, as it is very uncertain if they will remain in the long run.
