Bugmenot is still there, but perhaps they forgot to renew their domain name.

The reason why some people see it while others do not, is something called DNS caching. DNS is what maps the domain name (eg bugmenot.com) to an actual IP address (eg 208.48.143.41). Most ISPs cache most frequently used domain names, so they don't have to continually bang up against the root domain name servers

I have no idea what these other people are looking at. There is nothing there anymore except a GoDaddy "parked site."

bugmenot.com worked for me moments before I posted this reply

NOW it's back, after being unavailable all day. *sigh of relief*

It's working fine for me. I tried several site names and got username/passwords for each.

This domain name expired on 10/29/05

It has another 30 - 60 days to be renewed.

Another name of interest is just about ripe, though.

I just tried it and had no problem, plus I picked up one more registration login.

Actually, this is the first time I checked bugmenot for a while because it didn't show up a number of times in the last few months...so I thought it was a gonner.

Whew. That was close. I almost registered to a scuz-bucket Left Wing rag out of the Southwest. Thanks. Friends don't let friends do that.

I've used it with moderate success. Seems like some of the names got culled by the sites and were no longer usable.

So I created my own false identity for sites where I may only go on a very infrequent basis. I have it registered with an online site. I never go there except to delete all the spam because no one who has any real reason to write me knows about the false site. Works every time.
