the complete overuse of "tinyurl" on these boards

STOP IT.

you do not need to put EVERY SINGLE URL into tinyurl.

since the last set of updates, it's barely even required when the normal URL breaks because it has a 'funny character' in it, because copy and paste works normally now.

it is certainly not needed for photobucket links, BBC news links, wikipedia links, ANY SORT OF NON BREAKING LINK.

if you're one of these sorts and you've been rickrolled, it's essentially your own fault for encouraging this behavior.

the end.
THE END.
