dUSt Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 [url="http://www.bugmenot.com/"]http://www.bugmenot.com/[/url] Don't you hate it when you want to read a news story and the site makes you register all your personal details? Tired of telling sites how much your annual income is and having to checking all of your "interests"? Dude. Go to the above site, type in the URL you're trying to access, and it'll give you a universal login that will work for it. Totally sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 That is awesome. I always feel like all that info gathering is such an invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Maybe we should put a login for a phatmass phorum account on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 This is not a question for moral theology . . . you are not stealing anything . . . This site has just registered a user name for you . . . Unless the site is a Pay Site . . . it's not stealing . .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachael Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 i love that site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 It isn't morally correct. The news sites probably didn't intend for there to be a let everyone in type user name, and if so, it was for special purposes. They offer a service, the price you pay is a one-time registration, and so it is stealing. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest havok Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 i use it all the time on sites like the NYT, or other major papers that usually require you to sign up.. they're not paysites, they just want you to register your email so they can send you stuff, and so they can control their content. there's also a plugin for mozilla firebird that lets you right click, and find a login, without opening a new window.

dUSt Posted September 10, 2004 Author Share Posted September 10, 2004 Well, I suppose it is... But then again, if that is a sin, then watching TV without watching the commercials is also a sin--a sin I'm willing to commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Yeah, and you'd better not switch stations when commercials come on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven77 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 so dont give your info.. i hate spam too, but im not going to withhold info and sneak into a website using a given login/pw. turning off tv is not the same thing. bugmenot is like using a sp3ci4l popup blocker on netzero.
