A while back someone was actively working on resolving some of the sites 
that (like you pointed out) had moved or gone away. I'm not sure how far 
they had gotten with that effort. I'd have to check, but IIRC he'd made 
/some/ progress. The user "Mr" posts here from time to time .. he's the 
chap that maintains the Blender->POV exporter. Perhaps he will notice 
this thread and fill us in on where he stopped. Something I remember 
about his effort that he was able to find some of the disappeared sites 
on some archive site ... waybackmachine or something like that. At any 
rate I can create accounts, but would have to classify that as low 
priority. Since I'm not someone who turns done help I /might/ be able to 
get to it later next week. Still interested?
