bugmenot was a neat idea. But now i can't find any working logins there. The ones that do work, mostly don't work a second time around.
It has a cleaner interface, but I have to click a button every time I find a login that doesn't work to get a new suggestion. On bugmenot, I don't have to wait for code.

On the other hand, this might somehow protect the site from getting scraped by a domain that doesn't want logins showing up there... maybe?

Looks good. Time will tell.
Why are we killing bugmenot? I'm a fan...
Bugmenot allows sites to opt out of being listed. Thus defeating its purpose.
It'll work until the sites that require logins go here and disable any user names they find.

I like this clause in the TOS, I'm sure it will make a huge difference:

# If you are an owner, employee, partner, affiliate or representative (legal or otherwise) of any site which enforces compulsory user registration then you are forbidden from accessing any resource of this site. Failure to comply constitutes unauthorized access

True, but one of the things that is different about their approach is that it doesn't show a list of all their logins making it a bit more difficult for sites that require logins to just disable the usernames.

Bugmenot presents a long list which makes them much easier to disable.

I think it's example harrisbank.com is sleazy. I clicked it and then it went on to say: "Sorry, no logins for: harrisbank.com Please, add your login and password".

I don't think you want to encourage anyone to ever give you their bank's login data...

Why is this better than bugmenot? I can't find a single feature that's better, and I'm not at all dissatisfied with bugmenot.
It would be at least more competitive with a Firefox Addon.
Indeed. Bugmenot's Firefox addon works plenty well already, I never need to visit the site.
This is not nearly as good as bugmenot because it doesn't tell you the success rate of each login. It also only shows you one at a time.
They need to not pick a random site name out of their database as the example of something to log in to.

"For example: gals.milfspregnant.com"

Seriously. I mean, I laughed. Others might not .,..
