Short URL Sites and Denial of Service / Spam attacks

    I was wondering if anyone else has had the same results as I have.

    I am running a short URL service CV.vc and I get people using the service for many many things, including affiliate IDs, which I don't mind personally and don't consider SPAM. I did however get a MASSIVE amount of links created about a week ago.

    I logged in about a week ago and noticed there where 1830 new links created, and they went in sequential order with links like this:

    http://google.com/search?q=dumbsite7266

    All of them having a different number after it.

    My script auto deletes links not used after 30 days that are made by unregistered users, so it doesn't affect me much and they'll all get deleted soon enough, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
