what's the quickiest way to redirect a down link? - GoFuckYourself.com

One of my major sponsors is offline, don't want to waste all that traffic, going to send all that traffic to a similar sponsor.

What's the easiest and fastest way to redirect my links to another sponsor without having to change all the links in all my posts?

Anyway to do it with htaccess or a wordpress plugin?

Unless they're clicking a link on your site and you're doing a redirect, you can't without just changing your links. There is no standard or common way of rewriting through the webserver for static content.

you could dump the wp sql then find/replace the links then delete the old sql, import the new with updated links, if you need help hit me up

It won't help you now, but start running your links through a click tracker / url cloaker.. then if this shit happens in the future, you login to one admin and swap out the link.
