I will try to find a way to turn a broken link off when it is so old, or for other reasons, that it does not make sense to fix it. When a broken link is turned off, it should still look like a link, and still have the information (URL) of the original link, but it should be marked as broken, and should not be a real link using A-tag. This is my conclusion from the debate.
