That's never happened to me. They expire in a year, but you can renew them.

But you never know anyways if it has a project ID, like: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/563896966/ There's no way to know what project that links to (unless you have the ID memorized).

I think this link shortener would be disallowed, considering you can't see where it leads. Maybe instead of an incredibly short URL, just shorten some of the things you can, for example, turn the word projects into P, turn the word users into U, or something along those lines.

Good idea, I might try that tomorrow.
