List Of Sites Removed From Sherlock
This is a list of sites implemented in such a way that the current design of Sherlock is not capable of determining if a given username exists or not. They are listed here in the hope that things may change in the future so they may be re-included.

},
AngelList
Usernames that exist are not detected.
"AngelList": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 5767,
"url": "https://angel.co/{}",
"urlMain": "https://angel.co/",
"username_claimed": "blue",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
Codepen
Usernames that exist are not detected.
"Codepen": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 1359,
"url": "https://codepen.io/{}",
"urlMain": "https://codepen.io/",
"username_claimed": "blue",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
Imgur
Looks like they made some changes to the site. Sherlock says that all usernames are available.
"Imgur": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 74,
"url": "https://imgur.com/user/{}",
"urlMain": "https://imgur.com/",
"username_claimed": "blue",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
PowerShell Gallery
Accidentally merged even though the original pull request showed that all user names were available.
"PowerShell Gallery": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 163562,
"url": "https://www.powershellgallery.com/profiles/{}",
"urlMain": "https://www.powershellgallery.com",
"username_claimed": "powershellteam",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
This was attempted to be added around 2019-08-26, but the pull request was never merged. It turns out that LinkedIn requires that you have an account before they will let you check for other account. So, this site will not work with the current design of Sherlock.
StreamMe
On 2019-04-07, I get a Timed Out message from the website. It has not been working earlier either (for some weeks). It takes about 21s before the site finally times out, so it really makes getting the results from Sherlock a pain.
If the site becomes available in the future, we can put it back in.
"StreamMe": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 31702,
"url": "https://www.stream.me/{}",
"urlMain": "https://www.stream.me/",
"username_claimed": "blue",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
BlackPlanet
This site has always returned a false positive. The site returns the exact same text for a claimed or an unclaimed username. The site must be rendering all of the different content using Javascript in the browser. So, there is no way distinguish between the results with the current design of Sherlock.
"BlackPlanet": {
"errorMsg": "My Hits",
"errorType": "message",
"rank": 110021,
"url": "http://blackplanet.com/{}",
"urlMain": "http://blackplanet.com/"
},
Fotolog
Around 2019-02-09, I get a 502 HTTP error (bad gateway) for any access. On 2019-03-10, the site is up, but it is in maintenance mode.
It does not seem to be working, so there is no sense in including it in Sherlock.
"Fotolog": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 47777,
"url": "https://fotolog.com/{}",
"urlMain": "https://fotolog.com/"
},
Google Plus
On 2019-04-02, Google shutdown Google Plus. While the content for some users is available after that point, it is going away. And, no one will be able to create a new account. So, there is no value is keeping it in Sherlock.
Good-bye Google Plus...
"Google Plus": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 1,
"url": "https://plus.google.com/+{}",
"urlMain": "https://plus.google.com/",
"username_claimed": "davidbrin1",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
