Edit for additional question: are links that return 403s or other errors (404 etc) also an issue that should be corrected?

I can't speak for the validity of these links, but that entry can be cut anyway. Off-Model is now a definition-only page, and the entry itself is pretty low context, which means we can probably just get away with snipping it.

Working link for convenience: NightmareFuel.Quest For Camelot

Unless things have changed, linking to 4chan or any "*chan-style"/"*ch-style" board is pointless because the content is impermanent by design so the link is guaranteed to break sooner rather than later so the NSFW-ness is a moot point.

And yes, broken links should be removed if you can't provide a working link. Also, if the example is dependant on the link for context, it's a violation of Weblinks Are Not Examples and should be either rewritten to not depend on the link, or hidden by placing %% in front of it.

Thanks for the advice all. I will just snip the entry as advised here.
