It looks like ePastebin just says "coming soon" -- is it worth including it in the main article in that state? -- AlexBischoff 16:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a link farm.

Please stop turning this page into a link farm, WP:NOT#MIRROR. Killer Hobbits 18:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Do I have to ask who decided appon the list of sites that are on there now? --Streaky 12:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Arbitarily picking a few is exactly why it keeps turning into a big list. --Streaky 12:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I have removed all the but pastebin.com, the original and I've collected them all from history at User:ZacBowling/Pastebins. (Be good to say I run a pastebin at monoport.com that was on the old list before it exploded) --ZacBowling^talk 03:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Which URLs and Projects to include?

I'm curious about paste.biz's listing as a Project, as well as pastecode.com's link and the PHP Web CLI (not a pastebin..) The first two items seem to me as more or less direct clones and minor variations of the pastebin.com code base, and the PHP Web CLI is a separate type of project entirely. --Slepp 01:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been going on the basis of pastebins you can find in various searches that show up easily and seem to have a reasonable level of usage.. Or that are open projects available for use and development by others that are mature enough to be easily used and deployed, not nascent ideas. Dunno, pretty arbitrary (and maybe biased), but that's what I figure.. --Slepp 04:13, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

You are removing Gnopaste again and again... I think it have to be on this page too because it have nothing to do with the existing pastebin. --Mosez 09:00, 03 December 2007 (UTC)

You say existing pastebin like there is only one. Neither does pastebin.ca have anything to do with the others. Your link was moved to the List of pastebins, however. The ones that are there used to all be cited in the main article (ZacBowling recently changed the citations), but given the number of times this turns into a huge list of mostly-cloned (but definitely not all) pastebins, adding even one more link without great cause is probably a bad idea. --Slepp 20:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it does not have to be on the list of pastebins only. It is full independent from pastebin.com and pastebin.ca, so why is there a link to pastebin.com and pastebin.ca? If gnopaste (nopaste.info) have to be removed remove your pastebin.ca too! --Mosez 09:00, 03 December 2007 (UTC)

Mosez, I'm leaving that choice to someone else now, such as ZacBowling. However, the point is don't just go adding yourself at this point with all those comments above saying not to. Maybe ask first, or talk about it, which is suggested above in this page. Anyhow, I'm leaving it for now, and someone else that isn't listed can make their choices. --Slepp (talk) 22:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
