We purged any attachments older than 6 months and bigger than 60KB from the forum database, as backups grew a little big and most of these attachments were not used anymore (as they're for a question already solved or a temp build of runtime libs which are already released afterwards).
For stuff which has to stay permanently, we'll find another place to host that, e.g. the additional downloads section on the website might be a better place.
We'll look into moving the example to the main website instead, as examples are easier found on the website than in some forum thread
