# 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.
## 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B)...
```
"Google Plus": {
"errorType": "status_code",
"rank": 1,
"url": "https://plus.google.com/+{}",
"urlMain": "https://plus.google.com/",
"username_claimed": "davidbrin1",
"username_unclaimed": "noonewouldeverusethis7"
},
