The requirement for login is really a pain.  I find myself avoiding
paste.ubuntu.com most of the time because of it, especially if I know
that the target audience might not even have a Launchpad account.

dpaste.com also runs a proprietary backend, so I'm -1 on using it.
There's dpaste.org, which is FLOSS and doesn't seem to load any ads.
