I agree. Would be nice if some alias to the new location could be created. If not, then all that can be done is to remind people from time to time.
The university's IT department has long complained about 'rogue servers' on campus. They wanted everyone to only use their servers (I admit it does make sense from a management point of view but it limits some creative uses of computers). They seem to have finally won. Interesting history: one of the computers I managed in the dept. (an IBM 4361) was the first on campus to offer an Internet connection to the campus (the Computer Science dept. used phone connections at that time). The campus computing center then linked through my server to provide Internet & email to the campus. Rather odd arrangement and a few years later they got their own connection and the link was reversed as it should have been. F.

Continuity is important--there are lots of tutorials and videos on youtube that direct to the old page. I just made use of tpsUtil32 and tpsDIG2 myself recently for an analysis. It's a stumbling block to find dead links, but I don't know what you can do if the university wants to go all NSA. I think "Security risk" is usually nonsense. It's what webmasters tell their bosses to make it seem like they're still needed. I miss the old days when you could connect to almost any Mac on campus via Appletalk.
