Acid never sent a modmail.
We responded in the thread the reason why those links were removed was because they were 404ing, and they were removed when all the 404ing links got cleaned up.
It isn't anything more than it was pointed out that half the links in the sidebar were dead, so we cleaned up the ones we could with archive versions and the ones that couldn't got removed.
If anything you could call us lazy for not finding the new links since 8chan uses a different domain as to what was originally linked.

edit: It was bit ly was removing the link saying that it was dangerous to that site.
