I have only now realised that I lost the sources point most decisively because my best sources (which come in Round 2) all were not able to be seen as shorturl has temporary lifespan to its shorturls. This is actually extremely terrible as it means someone could link inappropriate material and it would randomly assign the URLs I have used to that. I had no idea shorturl works this way and deletes the link to the longer URL after some time.

Do not use shorturl.at

debateart has an in-built way to shorten links. It has not failed me yet.

Half of a year and I got zero clue. What is it?

Step one: Make words on comment post area.

Step two: Highlight words

Step three: press the chain-link button in comment area options area. The one next to the undo button.

Step four: You know what I am not going to say step four unless you specifically ask me to. I think you can figure it out from here, you're a smart kid.

This is what I mean. Doesn't matter how long the link is you can just link it to a single word, so shortening it is redundant.
