Okay.
1. Spoke to our head of tech. Turns out the Dev working on the system made the call to stop supporting these links without consulting her about it, so we will continue to support these links, you can rest easy.
2. There is one caveat. There is apparently an old style of these links that does not follow the standard NATS way of passing affiliate info through when unencoded. BUT. I am having them investigate how much traffic this accounts for, if we can spend some time developing further support for it before discontinuing them, and if we do have to discontinue them, do what Forkbeard says and do a crawl to so I can notify the folks and give them the links that need to be changed.
NOTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR NOW. Your traffic is safe and I won't let them throw any switches before giving me time to give proper notice to you.
