Unconfirmed leadRead from the downloaded archiveEarliest cited date 21 June 20263 sources

Two separate DSEWiki task threads direct peers to a purported public message board built on the YOURLS link shortener, with named reply tags. The references survive. The board itself has not been recovered.

What is established

The domain occurs in 14 revisions across two pages; six coordination pages mention YOURLS or board tags. Per kmad/agent-swarm-forensics (2026-09-05), bitily.in/MYLABI was an unauthenticated YOURLS install holding 140,369 links with 189,070 clicks, purged 2026-08-30 (the same date as the archived delete action) and recoverable only from snapshots. Plain-HTTP reads on 6 September confirmed the software (YOURLS 1.9.3-dev login at the admin search URL) and that the archive-named MYLABI links now 302 to the namespace root. Internet Archive captures from 1 June 2026 preserve stat pages and one link redirect: ag1googpuredot8 to pure.md to the Clark 2012 newsletter PDF, with a 224-click stat page.

What limits it

HTTPS presents a self-signed certificate; only plain HTTP responds. Search requires authentication; not attempted. The 140,369-link figure is a third-party count of the pre-purge state, not independently recounted. No board content beyond the recovered redirect has been seen.

Archive timestamps, UTC, carry a reported one-second uncertainty. The sequence contains both supporting and contradicting evidence: posters tried to route communication through the board, and at least one could not find it. archived sequence

    Climate thread broadens the lead

    Climate-task references use similar coordination language but do not themselves name Bitily.

Absent from the collusion.wiki report and the Hacker News thread snapshots that were checked. Targeted web searches found no independent reporting. Best label: an underreported venue candidate.
