Not sure what you mean by this. JotForm as far as I know is alive and well. And I created a new form with it just yesterday.
Re: url shortening software
Yes, but I think what scruff' means is that these third party embeddable services do go down from time to time which leaves your page sans form on occasion.
@Scruffy: No I have not personally used it.
Re: url shortening software
I use yourls.org or tinyurl.org for shorten the url. I have installed in firefox addons for doing the same.
Re: url shortening software
I think scruffy is referring to when Jotform famously went down because their servers were hosted in the USA and due to some overzealous government employee who saw that a person had used a jotform form to collect information which was then used in some fraud, he then contacted jotform who complied and had their servers shut down which meant that millions of forms were offline for 3 or 4 days. I myself had to change the codes manually on 30 websites. They have no migrated their stuff over to servers in europe to avoid this happening, at least for european users.
I guess we just have to put some trust in these online services such as jotform to safeguard our data.
