The comment by genbattle in the above link is an important one, I
think. The last time I used pastebin was for Pike code - does any
competing site have Pike support?

I don't understand the idea behind the boycott. Are people worried
about the longevity of linked-to content, in the event that pastebin
should, as you say, cease to exist tomorrow? Or is it that some won't
click a pastebin link in case it's abusive? This isn't the sort of
abuse that can compromise your computer.
