b, e, g, h are random number from 1 to 3

Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1

Eriks··on URL shorteners set ad tracking cookies
Any link on the internet - shortened or not - can after some time die. Domain registration expire, websites get shut down. Domain changes ownership and new site goes up. Relax. It's just a lifecycle of Internet resources. Let us end this conversation. You obviously see things differently.
