BugMeNot

BugMeNot is a Web site making it possible to consult and supplement a Database couples login/password to consult sites requiring to be recorded without having to be recorded or provide an address email. The concept of the site is based on the report that all these necessary recordings are parfaitements useless: either because it was possible for the editor of the site to leave the access to the page without it being necessary of more on which consults, or because, in any event, the majority of the users circumvent the obtacle by creating an account then by providing unspecified data, then once the consulted site, the password is forgotten. These accounts created with goes-quickly are numerous and encumber the sites which are victims.

Objectives

BugMeNot has several objectives thus:

the creator of BugMeNot thus wanted that the users who create these accounts " bidon" can divide them to avoid the multiplication of factitious accounts;
by avoiding this creation of additional useless accounts, BugMeNot discharges the databases from the accounts, and thus makes save costs of infrastructure or band-width to the shelterer;
the site is also used to visit a site before being registered, to know if it is worth the sorrow of it;
certain sites make use of the addresses email given at the time of the inscription to draw up lists and to send Spam. Utiliser BugMeNot thus makes it possible to save its box email (unless using a service of redirection of temporary email (ex: Mailinator, Disposable).

Useless to specify that the forums are also the target of BugMeNot. BugMeNot has as a principle of circumventing only the useless recordings: thus all the accounts giving access paying sites are removed base.

Since the creation of the site in 2003, the users took the practice during the creation of the factitious accounts to give a couple (name of user, password) which is simple and recognizable, like (bugmenot, bugnotme), (bugmenot, dontbugme), (bugmenot, stopbuggingme), etc

It should be noted that there exists a extension for Firefox and another for Internet Explorer which allows, while clicking in the field of a form, to seek with what to fill it. In the absence of the data, the extension opens an external window to add an account to the base.

For example to use of BugMeNot with site of NewYork Times, which is the target priviligiée of BugMeNot being the site which requires, according to the author of BugMeNot, “the most useless recording which is”, it is enough to go to URL http://www.bugmenot.com/view/www.nytimes.com
