Replace the two-digit year at the end with any year between 2003 and 2016. However, it does look like the contributions from 2017 thru the end of 2019 are lost, since they were never given their own pages.

Everything after 3/26/2014 (under the "newcontrib") in the archives is dead, everything up to what's on the currently active page starting on 1/1/2020. And the pages that linked to everything are hidden, but reachable as noted above. You're safe clicking through 2013 and earlier, for now.
I couldn't begin to speculate why this might have happened, but I keep fearing this whole site may go offline someday, and nobody can really do anything about the content because no one outside of the current Wu's management has rights to it. (It's even possible there are funky issues relating to whether anyone has a right to publish any of it since Wu died) It would be nice to have more information about what's going on, but I am not going to prod, I am grateful things have come this far and that the site hasn't gone dark.
It wouldn't be the first time a lot of content just vanished without notice. The old web is slowly dying and the future is in social media (even though models and customers alike are finding those seas to be very very choppy). I would suggest that someone start a new kind of community site where we could secure the content in a more public and enduring way, but that seems to be a farfetched possibility. The heyday of MousePad/Wus/Hawk's was back when everyone followed browser bookmarks on desktops, and a lot of people don't use the Web that way anymore. Add in the fact that few cloud providers (if anyone) will let you host a site like this. And there would be a ton of effort that would have to go into scanning any user-submitted content for piracy, and mods would always have to take a hard line on that or else it risks the whole game.
Do what I'm doing, buy subscriptions to your favorite BHE sites or buy the videos for sale a-la-carte. The older BHE sites are slowly going offline. So get there before they're gone.

I do not know whether the disappearance/"hidden" status of many photosets in the "Contributions" section at WU's is related to the developments that I will briefly describe in this post, but eiboodckim hits several nails right on their heads IMMO, so kudos for that
Under severe pressure from a major credit card company, my dear friends and business partners at BHE were forced to put offline ALL the paysites featuring nudity that they used to host. My own BAREFOOT NUDITY clearly belonged to the category, so it was put offline, too. This happened in the context of a broader trend that sees major credit card companies now fighting against "illegal porn" (there would be a lot to discuss about how the credit card folks have made, and are still making, huge profits from "porn", but let's leave that aside). They have basically started requiring all companies running adult websites and online stores (from Pornhub to Clips4sale) and/or billing services for adult websites to provide them with ultra-robust proof of compliance with USC 2257 requirements. As you can imagine, a company like BHE, hosting a site like my own Barefoot Nudity, has no access to my own set paperwork (model releases, copies of the models' picture IDs, etc.), which in any case cannot be fully compliant with USC 2257 requirements, for the very fact that I operate in Italy, and I have to comply with the law in force in my own country, first. So all BHE-hosted sites featuring nudity (with the not-so-obvious exclusion of BARE FEET, FOR NOW) have already been put offline, FOREVER.
The question is.. how long will it take before the credit card folks decide that bare feet displayed on internet for a fee to cause hard-ons to dudes like us are "adult business"? So indeed, eiboodckim is 200% right IMMO.. do what he is doing (quote), "buy subscriptions to your favorite BHE sites or buy the videos for sale a-la-carte. The older BHE sites are slowly going offline. So get there before they're gone".
My own BAREFOOT NUDITY is already offline, to eternity. Good for those who had the privilege of enjoying the show. Did you miss it? It's too late now, chaps. I feel really sorry for you.

I luckily operate in America and have all the compliance documents needed to keep my studio operational. Some sites are requiring things that aren’t legally required so I won’t be using them anymore, such as xHamster. My content is still on Twitter, XVideos, PornHub, and soon to be on Fansly and ManyVids as well.
