It's not a site issue (I get it on other forums too), and I'm not too interested in fixing it, but I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

I'm noticing that bit.ly uses a Libyan TLD, and Libya as we are all well aware is currently in the middle of a civil war that has involved the shutting down of their internet, which means that their authoritative DNS servers are unreachable, this means that .ly sites around the world are going to start falling off of the internet over the next few weeks.

Huh. Nice catch. I didn't notice that.

Goodness knows how many .ly links are there on the Internet...

Go to imageshack and sign in, that did it for me.
You'll have to do it for every pc you use though.

I still keep my statement, Fu**'em.
