A link offsite to any kind of paste-bin style code is guaranteed to be broken eventually and probably soon. The link was future garbage. It pointed to 25 lines of code that could have been placed here easily. Also, anonymonks get no benefit of the doubt with this kind of thing. If an even slightly well known monk had posted the link, it would not have been reaped.
FWIW, its more than a pastebin, faq says it runs the code and the code will live forever ... website has been live since 2009
Its even listed in sitefaqlet Miscellaneous Off-site Resources since 2013
I'm reminded of IRC Considered Harmful
