I had an idea to setup a link shortener for the ComputerCraft forums community, I wanted to ask the community for feedback before hand and possible domain suggestions. :)/>

Why would one need a link shorterer?

yeah about that… I guess it is a bit redundant and pointless.

Link shorteners are not allowed on the forums, generally. When linking to the forums elsewhere, please abide by the rules (if any) of that medium in regard to shortened links. I don't think the ComputerCraft website needs a dedicated service to shorten links to it, if that's what you're suggesting.

If you need a link shortened, you can always just do it in the post.
Like so. The link is still in its long format, but doesn't take up a bunch of space on the post. However, by default, links are automatically shortened in this way with links pasted into the editor.
I don't think there's any reason to use a link shortening service for this purpose.
