I have not used pastebin because when I first visited, I saw a list of public posts and they were all entirely spam. I appreciate that I only have a free user but I don't want to have look at this nonsense.
I did look into upgrading to a "pro" account but they claim they are "sold out".

Despite the negative comments on here, I've never had an issue with PasteBin -- I think it's great -- does everything it says on the tin, and it's free! Also allows 0.5MB per paste, which is awesome.
