Hang on, I'm having an epiphany. I didn't break those links. I just took such a long break from neocities that they *changed how directories work*. Wack. It looks like files ending with .html are handled like a pseudodirectory now.

The relevant issue being that "[link].neocities.org/folder" doesnt work anymore; it causes some kind of endless redirect loop. It has to terminate with a slash like so: "[link].neocities.org/folder/" Not good for link rot!
LOL I understand now. My earlier edge case correction (making some .html pages redirect to a directory without a slash) just HAPPENED to be the opposite of HIS choice for edge case correction (redirecting from a "directory" that didn't end with a slash to the .html page) and ended up in an endless loop.
When was that changed? Anyone have any insight on that?

Changed sometime around the New Year: https://blog.neocities.org/blog/2022/12/30/cleaner-links
Iβm not a big fan either; maybe go and badger Kyle (Kevin? i never remember his name)βs email about the redirect bug
