The site served as a clearinghouse for shared passwords to registration-required websites. Subscription-based website owners despised it, hassle-hating 'net users loved it. No word on what happened (bugmenot peeps: talk to me, honey), but I'd betcha dollars to downloads that lawyers were involved.

What happened to BugmenotWhat happened to Bugmenot 08/19/2004 11:42 AM As menti oned here last night, Bugmenot is now, well, not. A recent post on the MozillaZine forums by someone understood to be the admin for Bugmenot.com says: "Our host pulled the plug. I reckon they were pressured. If anyone has got some secure, preferably offshore hosting in mind then please let us know so we can get the service back up as soon as possible."Lin k (Thanks, Michael) Update:
Several BoingBoing readers wrote in to say something like this, from
reader Bryan Swain: "I don't have the inside scoop on what happened to
BugMeNot, but thought you might find this interesting. I've used the
site in the past from work with no trouble, but as of today, it is
blocked (our company uses WebSense filtering). I get a message saying
that the site is blocked by the "Racism and Hate" category... figure
that one out! The WebSense site has a section where you can see what
sites fall into what categories and suggest changes, but, ironically
enough, you have to register to use those areas. No thanks."

This frees you from the hassle of giving up your personal information. The site is incredibly simple to use. All you have to do is type in the URL of the offending site, and the login information will be given to you. If you have another one that you would like to add, just submit it to the site. BugMeNot is constantly growing with new site submissions, so stay tuned. Is this an ethical thing to do? Well, you can decide for yourself. As for me, I think this site is fantastic.
