bugmenot no more?

I saw on MeFi that Bugmenot has gone down. Whether it was servers or lawyers is not clear. I used google cache to find an email address and have attempted to contact them to find out what's going on.

Update: I just heard from bugmenot that their host pulled the plug and that they ARE BACK. Why not help them out.

Previously: Looks like server issues. [via waxy]

More: BugMeNot allowed internet users to circumvent registering to access the contents of online newspapers (i.e. NYT, LAT). More info here.

According to a recent WSJ article (sub req), more and more users annoyed with entering registration information to view content at some web sites, are either entering false details or simply circumventing the registration process altogether.
