Author Topic: The "Register this email for weird stuff" game  (Read 6163 times)

Basically, I created a random free gmail address. People seem to have a lot of fun signing up email addresses posted in drama for weird stuff, so I expect this to be somewhat popular.

At the end of the week (next Monday) I'll tell you guys how many emails I received, how much space was taken up (out of the 7gb), how much of your email went into my spam folder and other random statistics. I'll highlight some of the weirder ones as well, there will be plenty of screenshots.

If you're concerned that this is some kind of scam to get you to sign some poor person's email up for tons of random stuff, just take a look at his interests on his profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/orangecountymoppers
You're doing him a favor, really. He enjoys it.

The wackiest and silliest newsletters, spam, etc, will have a higher chance of getting spotlighted at the end of the game. There's sites out there that let you sign an email address up for 100+ newsletters at once. Simply plugging the address into them will probably not be very interesting, I'll just have my inbox filled with ikea catalogs and offers for free xboxs.

After it's all done, I'll delete the gmail account (I figure google wants their 7gb back). Maybe someone else will want it, along with all the great free newsletters they are already signed up for.

With all that said and done, here is the address. I rather like the address, I'm almost sad that I'm going to delete it.

orangecountymoppers@gmail.com

Signed it up for a shamwow deals thing.

Gmail has the best spam filter around.
It'll filter most of it.

I should have put this in community projects, it will get buried here really fast.

I'll try and provide some daily updates. If it gets knocked too far off the page I'll probably repost it there.

Thank you (I assume) Kalphiter for the 3 random emails from "kbyetcom by sv18.byethost18.org with local (Exim 4.69)." Two of them made it to my inbox, (unknown sender) got sorted into the spam box.

Red Hook eh? Just 20min from my house if no traffic



Pretty good start.

They didn't make it on the list in time (I just refreshed my inbox), but I now have a cafepress account and a tomatoforum forums account.

Just for fun, I've been confirming all my accounts. Later in the week I might have too many to confirm.

EDIT: Here's an interesting one: I just got registered for James Beard Foundation "Beard Bites." The JBF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to exploring the way food enriches our lives.

They did work. I just turned on full headers to see who it was that was forging emails. :)

Also I got a Roblox account. No login details however.

Hehe.

DoubleEdit: Sent you a lost password form, and some other form.

Okay, I got it. I'm probably not going to use it though. :cookieMonster:

Also my brother just registered me for the Pravda forums. Pravda is a Russian newspaper. Consult wikipedia for further guidance.

I also got a facebook account and ANOTHER GMAIL address!

And a Blockland account, haha.

And fotolog.
