U.nu service is closed

We regret that we were forced to stop supporting the u.nu link shortening project.

From the very beginning, it was used by attackers, spammers, and other bad people. Despite considerable efforts, the attackers continued their merciless game. In the end, hundreds of thousands of addresses that violate the terms of service were blocked, and many of them still remain available. We spent a lot of time manually checking all the links that were reduced, given that the site earned very little (about 10 USD from advertising), of course this is not enough to support the project.

The last straw for closing was the fact that on September 3, 2010, without warning, our hosting provider disconnected our servers due to messages about links to child pornography.

Server shutdown causes us serious problems, and, frankly, the level and nature of the reason for the shutdown completely demoralizes us. When choosing to spend money and time on a new home for a project or quit everything, the latter won.

We apologize to the legitimate users of the service. I hope you find another service to shorten your links that meets your needs.
