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.
As of 2020-05-25, all usernames are reported as available.
The server is returning a HTTP Status 500 (Internal server error) for all queries.

When I went to the site to see what was going on, usernames that I know existed were redirecting to the main page.
I was able to see user profiles without logging in, but the URL was not related to their user name. For example, user "tomke" went to https://community.adobe.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10882613. This can be detected, but it requires a different detection method.

},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.
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.
