sPaste

sPaste is a website where users can store text for a certain period of time. The website is primarily used by programmers to store pieces of source code or configuration information, but anyone is welcome to paste any type of text. The idea behind the site is to make it more convenient for people to share large amounts of text online. The website also offers a full page script that can be used to convert all outgoing links into encrypted and secure sPaste links.

The site was created to primarily serve the needs of programmers. Any paste or usage pattern not related to that goal which results in unusually high traffic will be flagged for investigation. The user’s paste may be deleted, and their IP address may be blocked. In particular, users are not allowed to paste email lists, password lists, or personal information. The “report abuse” feature can be used to flag such pastes, and they will be deleted. Users are also not allowed to aggressively spider the site. Exceptions can be arranged, and users can contact the site administrators to discuss.

If a user can access sPaste from one location but not another, it is likely that their IP address has been blocked for violating the site’s policy. The user can get in touch with the site administrators, and the block can be lifted.
