pass it to TinyUrl

What is this new fangled thing you speak of? A link hasher? How on earth does it work? Doesn't matter, I guess, because it does work, apparently. I'll use that. Nice one, elD! :)

I thought everyone knew about tinyurl :( Sorry, woulda told you before!

I think it just stores the url, and assigns a short "hash" (but really just random number) to it, and passes it on whever it is called. I suppose that after a while, either they will run out of short url's, or will recycle ones that haven't been called for a month or so... This is what I would do anyway, obviously I have no idea, I'm just guessing :)

Edit - Turns out they never expire (according to the homepage), so I guess its a non-expiring hashmap type object :)

So do we have a TinyUrl link we can follow?

Mmm, yes. Check back up on the Battlefield 2 forum and you'll now see another link up where there's always been a link to EA's site. Use that.
