Uninstalling the product and using the tool basically nuked several years of affiliated links from my site.
I didn't see this when you first posted, but FYI for anyone coming across this later, you only have to edit the definition to replace your affiliate ID with your own. (Keeping in mind that caching of any kind may not properly reflect your changes right away.) My ID doesn't work anymore, and hasn't for a few years. It's just in there so you can change it and implement your own without a lot of fuss. I did, however, point that out in the FAQ.

I should have RTFP'd a bit better, heh. Uninstalling it, like I said, rewrote all of the URLs back to normal but none of them were actually parsed as links anymore. So I had hundreds of posts with amazon links that weren't click-able links anymore. Not fun.
Yes, an uninstall without running the conversion tools first will results in unparsed links. I was certain I had included this in the README, and it is mentioned in various places like in the Admin CP and the FAQ, but apparently I didn't include it in a prominent place. I'll be sure to put that in main README file to prevent any confusion in the future.
