bypass the registration process for many sites

this tip will save you money, but only if your time is valuable, and whose isnt ;-)

Lots of sites require you to register just to be able to view their sites. All this registering wastes time, and time is money to some people :)

anyway basically you can bypass this registration process for a huge list of sites, by visiting a site called BugMeNot - http://www.bugmenot.com

theres also a great bugmenot extension for the firefox browser, which saves even more time, as you can just right click on a page that requires registration, and you will be taken directly to a page with login info for that site :)

and if you want a laugh, check out the "fake" bugmenot registration page.

Heres a quote from their "terms of use" page with the link to their registration page:
"If you are an employee, partner, affiliate or legal representative of any site which enforces compulsory user registration to access otherwise free content then we require you to complete our own registration process. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of these Terms of Use and non-authorization to use this site's resources."

  • I've used the site for ages and have to say being able to rightclick and click BugMeNot... on sites such as mediaguardian.co.uk is great.

    Even if you don't use firefox (which is free from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox by the way) the site still allows you to get login details rather than completing pointless forms.
