Remove forum links

The old Ripple forum is down indefinitely for security reasons.
Until the contents can be properly archived in a secure (and read-only)
way, forum links won't work.

There was a Wayback Machine archive for the ledgers thing, so I changed
it to use that. I could not find an equivalent for the drop naming thread,
so I removed that hyperlink.

1. <a id="footnote-1"></a> Due to a mishap early in the XRP Ledger's history, [ledgers 1 through 32569 were lost](https://forum.ripple.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3613). (This loss represents approximately the first week of ledger history.) Thus, ledger #32570 is the earliest ledger available anywhere. Because the XRP Ledger's state is recorded in every ledger version, the ledger can continue without the missing history. New test networks still start with ledger index 1.

2. <a id="footnote-2"></a> In Bitcoin, the current state is sometimes called the set of "UTXOs" (unspent transaction outputs). Unlike the XRP Ledger, a Bitcoin server must download the entire transaction history to know the full set of UTXOs and process new transactions. As of 2018, there have been some proposals to modify Bitcoin's consensus mechanism to periodically summarize the latest UTXOs so new servers would not need to do this. Ethereum uses a similar approach to the XRP Ledger, with a summary of the current state (called a _state root_) in each block, but syncing takes longer because Ethereum stores a large amount of state data.

The smallest, indivisible unit of XRP was named a "drop" [at the suggestion of Ripple forum member ThePiachu](https://forum.ripple.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40&p=228). An early alternative term was a "jed", after Jed McCaleb.
