Broken link of the day

Here in Denmark almost all our interactions with the state bureaucracy can be done online. We can do our taxes online, and a thousand other things. That's great.

Until now a lot of the web pages involved were on www.danmark.dk and www.netborger.dk (netborger = net citizen, nothing to do with the Borg). Now they have been consolidated on borger.dk. I suppose in some way this makes more sense, but it means that thousands of links have been broken. All links to places on danmark.dk now link to the front page of borger.dk. That's painful enough, but the netborger.dk domain has just been completely removed from the net. There's no clue as to where the content could have gone.

I just hope they haven't dropped the domain completely. Because it will be hawking online casinos really soon if they have.
