I was trying to bypass registration and my plugin wouldn't work so I went to www.bugmenot.com explicitly. I get this message: Notice: This domain name expired on 10/29/05 and is pending renewal or deletion Welcome to www.bugmenot.com
Back in August it was reported that Bugmenot.com was having "hosting" issues and that possibly outside pressure was being applied to force them to shut down.
TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: bugmenot; forceregistration
It would be truly sad if this site was forced to fold...
