was firefallthegame.com
Aliens destroy the world, and survivors band together to fight back using power armour.
A fantastic game, the likes of which I have never seen.
Unfortunately, it was abandoned.

abandoned original: https://github.com/tylerhall/simple-url-shortener
forked: https://github.com/cargilcm/simple-url-shortener
Make your own URL shortener. e.g. for the owner of example.com links can be shortened like so:
example.com/some-long-url
to
example.com/abcd2
Impressively simple and easy to use. I chose it because it has one single very small script.
