Alright, I'll make it official. Mybitcoin is not a company to do business with. Avoid them at all costs.
Over a week ago my login credentials didn't work. Only at that time did I realize that mybitcoin has no way to recover passwords. I found previous threads where people had trouble with mybitcoin (duh) and tried the email under whois (abuse@mybitcoin.com) which didn't work. I created a second account to send a message about my first account, but now, days later, still no response.
Please also avoid their banner ad company, Link2voip, also. Nothing against them, but maybe if Link2voip feels a little shun they will pressure mybitcoin to come clean.
Mybitcoin's behavior is a little confusing because they apparently were, at one time, a good service. They have put a considerable effort into their site, they seem to have ambitions to expand as a bitcoin business, and their proprietor, Mr Williams, came forth and acted all CEOish during the recent Mt Gox debacle.
Unfortunately, new users are often being steered into their clutches. Bitcoinme.com pretty much tells new users to put their coins into Mybitcoin:

I have asked Bruce Wagner of bitcoinme.com to stop promoting them and he said he would, but we'll see. I am on a campaign to get the truth out about mybitcoin. If they come clean I will be the first to announce it. If you have any helpful information or have a similar story to tell I hope you will include it here.
Thanks for your attention.
