Talk:BugMeNot

message: Most other articles have links to a page with a category of similar software or sites.  Is this the only password aggregation site?  Why are bugmenot's other services being promoted here?  This doesn't seem like a neutral point-of-view article. 69.19.14.34 (talk) 06:55, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: why this is annointed as a monopoly

message: Bugmenot.com doesn't provide real accounts! I have created an account on www.poznanici.com with the details username:plavamala321@gmail.com password:plavamala . I have submited these details to bugmenot.com, but when i looked the details on the site, there was this: username:Malla Plawusha password:malaplava . So i guess bugmenot.com automatically changes the login details, that someone submits, therefore not a single account detail is usable on this site.You can try with the login details above, and see what i am talking about. If you manage to make a usable login, then feel free to correct me! 188.2.185.158 (talk) 20:01, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think BMN actually creates the accounts. People who try and log into a site and either there are no working or no logins at all, and they create one and submit it. I've made and submitted accounts for sites, and later seen them appear when I went to log in again with the extension. If you're using the extension, it chooses randomly from the available logins. Sometimes one gets blocked and you can mark it as such and try another. --StarChaser Tyger (talk) 02:49, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

:Yes, this is important!  A number of sites that require registration seem to quickly invalidate bugmenot log-ins and apparently Bugmenot also lets a lot of common sites opt-out.  Registering to view articles or download articles is a waste of time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.220.91 (talk) 08:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure exactly how bugmenot should be working with Firefox, but right now, the add-on page hosted on roachfiend.com seems to be down - well, roachfiend.com is down.
Does anybody know what's going on? RobiBuecheler 06:33, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I made an aPNG animation

which is originally from http://www.bugmenot.com/favicon.gif
I did it with the aPNG editor (Firefox Extension)
here's a proof: http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs231&d=08375&f=25474.png

message: isn't that same use as the other things but thru different tools? perhaps if it said "uses of" instead of "for" it would make more sense, though I think it would still be somewhat weirdly worded (but perhaps I'm not thinking clearly right now, dunno) --TiagoTiago (talk) 23:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does RetailMeNot redirect here?
I searched for retailmenot.com, now a Webby '09 nominee. I was actually checking to see if a relation between the two sites exist. The link suggests such a relation, but the text offers no explanation. Searching for RetailMeNot and being redirected to an article about a different website is a confusing behavior.

replies: text: Are you talking about the website itself or the Firefox/Chrome extensions? The Firefox extension of BugMeNot definitely doesn't work anymore, since the BugMeNot website has changed to be incompatible with the Firefox extension (which used to be advertised on the BugMeNot site but now is not mentioned or linked to from it). I'm pretty sure the Chrome extension doesn't work anymore either due to BugMeNot's changes to its website. But is the actual BugMeNot website broken? It appears to still work for me. But it is a rather annoying move by the creator of BugMeNot to render the browser extensions for his site useless and I certainly wish he hadn't done it. Hopefully someone else will offer a similar service to BugMeNot and provide working browser extensions for it, if the creator of BugMeNot is no longer willing to do so. This might also have something do do with the fact that the roachfiend.com website is down, that is the website that hosted the browser extensions. It might be due to legal threats or something. Currently there is no contact info on the BugMeNot website but it would be good to find out the current status of all this to clear up all these questions like why the browser extensions no longer work. --Yetisyny (talk) 01:50, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
