Sigh. In particular with regards to the email for blogs - that's always an optional field, so you don't need to supply any sort of email at all. :) It's just there if you want to give the blog owners a means to contact you directly.

I really miss it bad. Every site I go to, mailinator and co have been banned. But they don't tell you that mailinator has been bannned, they say, "your sign up email has been sent, wait for it to arrive". So I sit there at mailinator, waiting for it to arrive and it never does. That problem didn't happen with 2prong, emails always came through nice and lovely with 2prong, although I noticed that the domain didn't always change everyweek. I hope that a kindly millionaire will come along and breathe some life back into 2prong it was brilliant. 2prong made me realise that you don't have to give a valid email address for blog comments like this and you can just type in any old jiberish and it works just fine. With regard to mintemail, the auto verification doesn't work properly on the forum i signed up with because it sends you the password. But mintemail doesn't show you the email with the password in it, it just gives you a message saying the account has been activated, so you never get to find out your password and you can never log in and the username you chose gets lost forever. So I'm all at a loss now that 2prong is no more, there's a forum that i really want to sign up to but every disposable email service i have tried has been banned and i don't use Yahoo mail anymore since i discovered 2prong and yahoo deactivated my account because i never used it for longer then 3 months. This comment section asked me to provide an email address, you can guess what email address I gave?!?! Pleeeases come back 2 prong!!!!! 2prong doesn’t work anymore. I really miss it bad.

Glad you stopped by. I completely understand what you're doing. I wasn't trying to say it was wrong, just an interesting case of kind of sticky situations that FOSS can get itself into (and I suspect increasingly will). In this case, it's no problem at all, but I can see how it could turn out very differently. I'm curious to know if you are experiencing the sorts of volume problems that 2prong was? And if you are, how you're coping with it without the domain change reset tactic that 2prong takes and how your ISP is taking it. :) Hey there! Glad you stopped by.

I just got an email from somebody who directed me to your site. I just wanted to make a few comments. I started mintemail.com to learn more about php and programming in general. I am not too sure about what you mean by "Oracle repackaging RedHat". I am not a programmer. I don't really plan to make money by running 2prong's script on another site (no ads!). As for contributing to the source, the php scripts I have writen are probably very inefficient and have security holes in them. This website is more of a learning process for me. Also, when I started mintemail, 2prong's site was down for more than 2 weeks. Now, I have been trying fiddle around with other things like automatic email verification. Hi Faux(?),
