Games Workshop Pages Disappearing

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find out why Forgeworld books are no longer on the Games Workshop website. GW have ignored three questions on their Facebook page and Forgeworld were snarky but just as unhelpful on theirs.

But the shrinkage on the site gets worse. Ever since I started collecting Blood Angels I have referred to painting and assembling guides helpfully posted by Games Workshop. Tonight, they stopped working. The links no longer link to anything. If I google the pages they show up in the search results, along with previews. But there is no cached version of these pages, which probably means the cache was deleted by Google at Games Workshop's request.

The pages were:

www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=8000044a

www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=13700012a

I have emailed Games Workshop, asking what happened to the pages, but, as the only 'contact us' email address is for 'orders' (how telling is that, eh?) and GW's apparent reluctance to answer any questions about changes they have made, I don't hold out much hope of getting a sensisble answer any time soon.

Of course, it could just be a server problem, but then why is there no cached version?

Any other pages gone missing?
