text: I have removed all the but pastebin.com, the original and I've collected them all from history at User:ZacBowling/Pastebins. (Be good to say I run a pastebin at monoport.com that was on the old list before it exploded) --ZacBowlingtalk 03:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes I do believe that other than the original site link, all others should be removed. --the100rabh 12:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

text: There was also discussion on the List of pastebins article which listed basic criteria to be listed, and the links that were there (prior to PlaneMad's removal) were valid examples of distinct and very popular pastebins, which is why there were included. (Pastebin.com is arguably not the original, either) --Slepp (talk) 20:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

text: As the100rabh and PlaneMad said, pastebin can be there. Pastebin.com is the classic pastebin and started the pastebin culture. Old Pastebin.com page says that the inspiration behind pastebin.com is a raw app called 'Paste'. Guess this is a vital info regarding the history. mixdev (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not a link farm. 

message: I think that tinypaste.com should be linked. Its odd that its not already seeing as it is the largest pastebin (in terms of traffic according to alexa and compete.com )online and also is one of the most feature rich. It was covered in techcrunch as well.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.203.6 (talk) 06:12, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are removing Gnopaste again and again... I think it have to be on this page too because it have nothing to do with the existing pastebin.  --Mosez 09:00, 03 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You say existing pastebin like there is only one. Neither does pastebin.ca have anything to do with the others. Your link was moved to the List of pastebins, however. The ones that are there used to all be cited in the main article (ZacBowling recently changed the citations), but given the number of times this turns into a huge list of mostly-cloned (but definitely not all) pastebins, adding even one more link without great cause is probably a bad idea. --Slepp 20:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it does not have to be on the list of pastebins only. It is full independent from pastebin.com and pastebin.ca, so why is there a link to pastebin.com and pastebin.ca? If gnopaste (nopaste.info) have to be removed remove your pastebin.ca too!  --Mosez 09:00, 03 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mosez, I'm leaving that choice to someone else now, such as ZacBowling. However, the point is don't just go adding yourself at this point with all those comments above saying not to. Maybe ask first, or talk about it, which is suggested above in this page. Anyhow, I'm leaving it for now, and someone else that isn't listed can make their choices. --Slepp (talk) 22:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which URLs and projects to include? 

message: Both parties continue adding a link which has not been discussed as per the guidelines laid out in the page. The users continue to remove other links when replacing theirs. A 3rd opinion is requested on this. --Slepp (talk) 01:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  pastebin wiki 

message: Txtb.in(http://txtb.in) is a pastebin implementation designed for microblogging (with features like short url, direct posting excerpts to Twitter). Wondering if we can include it. I don't see any Dmoz categories where a list of pastebins are there. Fetchmaster (talk) 16:42, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  txtb.in 

message: Codepad probably qualifies to be listed as a unique use of the Pastebin concept to provide compilation, error checking, output reports, etc., vs. most of the static Pastebins which don't do such things. It would make the most sense to provide information in a section about software development features and list it as a reference for that. --Slepp (talk) 16:28, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  codepad 

message: I belive this qualifies to be listed as a unique use user input files to run submitted codes. Moreover, to the best of my knowledge there are only two services which allows to run submitted code: codepad and ideone. And ideone accepts codes in 40 languages, as SPOJ do while, codepad only 13. kuszi (talk) 21:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I previously suggested this but have not hard back. I think that Tinypaste should be included in the list.
Its the largest pastebin on the web according to alexa and also has the unique function of paying users to paste.
Some articles that mention it are on techcrunch and lifehacker. Simply google "tinypaste" for mentions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.202.134 (talk) 00:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inclusion of tinypaste? 

message: Because the original pastebin.com script is now unavailable, I think  should be included as a reference of some sort as an alternative or placeholder to the original pastebin script.
I won't add it in myself as people may take it the wrong way, as it is my project.  -- EcKstasy ☣  21:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inclusion 

message: As it stands, the article confuses the general concept of a pastebin with the specific implementation at www.pastebin.com. This is like confusing 'Wikipedia' with 'wiki'. Is there any sense in which the implementation at Pastebin.com is 'official'? That seems to be similar to saying that WikiWikiWeb is the official wiki, for being first. I think this should be changed. --jftsang 02:04, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, which is why I moved the content of that section over to pastebin.com - you could have done so as well btw. --Fixuture (talk) 14:56, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I see in the page's intro some vague codes and statements that are incomprehensible and seems unencyclopedic. Can anyone look into this? I feel confused by this. Bekkadn (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 07:04, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

This example makes sense, but is the latter half seems like a completely unnecessary clarification to me. What's a signature? -dumbuz (talk) 01:16, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
