Just curious to know why people go to TinyURL to encode their long URL's instead of justusing smf code for it.
It isn't obvious in the UI but you can do it within your post and not have to go to TinyURL.

Looks like this:
Tiny Text
Just curious is all.
Those folks that don't understand that making a link that widens your browser page to some ungodly width and requires a side-scroll aren't the ones who are using TinyURL. If they can understand one thing, they certainly can understand the other, and vice versa.
In my case, I'll give you the top reason. Firefox extensions.
Firefoxeseseses (did I spell that right?) TinyURL extension makes a simple right click on the page I want to link to pop up the little options menu and I don't have to do anything other than select "create TinyURL" and copy it.
It all depends on if I'm feeling DK-slack that particular day, or Stingray-slack
TM. If it's the latter, there's no telling how it'll end up being posted.
