The New York Times is now requiring registration to view content, it's still free once you register (for now), but not everyone will be willing to do that. This is not a cookie issue any longer, because until today, I was able to view content and submit articles with no issues. I did the free registration, and personally I have not tried bugmenot, nor did I ever need it, but not everyone will want to use that either just to read articles from this paper. So, no more NYT articles since posting the entire article for viewing here, is not an option.

NYT is one of my favorite sources and since it's still free, I will still read the content, but I can't submit it any longer.
It now says this...

Just answer a few simple questions, select an ID and password, and you'll be all set.
I do know that in the past others had issues viewing content from there, but that was a cookie issue, and not a mandatory registration issue.
