The big mystery here was why the pages were still being served with no way for them to make sales. That didn't make sense. So, after OneHungLo said it still worked for him, I tried with a different browser on a different device. Totally different, much less borked result, joins appear to be working.
Some further investigation, even clicking a clean link to a site I've never visited promoted (the main hustler.com page, I always promoted their megapass) was pulling some cookies from somewhere and showing one of my affiliate links in the address bar of the borked join page.
Now, that's still borked, but it's back to being a borked affiliate program; it explains why they are keeping their sites up. Still no reason to maintain links I don't think, especially with payment a year behind and affiliate support email addresses bouncing.
