It's flagged quite stupidly, really, but it affects this forum too. Some links and images especially in signatures use bit.ly
I even get this warning page in my own devlog which reflects kind of badly. So yeah, if you use it would you kindly switch to another service until it's resolved.

edit: great, seems to be okay now.

noticed this a bunch of times; it's incredibly annoying, particularly since Chrome sometimes makes it almost impossible to actually proceed to the link when you know it's clean...

And huh, now I just saw somebody put a bit.ly link on Twitter and it not get blocked. Entering it manually doesn't trigger the block either. I wonder what is exactly being blocked then.
