MyBlogLog has apologized for banning me.
A lot of people I respect immensely have written in to tell me that I screwed up, and after a point, it becomes impossible to avoid the truth. We banned Shoemoney originally to keep him from updating his list of User IDs on Wednesday night, which I think was the right thing to do. But after fixing the exploit, I should have unbanned him and thanked him for finding it. But I didn’t. I screwed up.
We accept their apology. I wish them the best of luck in the future.

Lol! You poked them in the eye a couple of times and they turn around and ask for an apology? Lol, only Shoemoney could pull of such a stunt ^^

Hey, it’s great to see you being so professional and immediately accepting their apologies. It would have been real sad to see a lot of mud being raked up over this!
February 27, 2007 at 11:35 pm
I think it was very generous of them to apologize and feature you on the buzz page
February 27, 2007 at 1:20 am
it’s sad when you don’t want to use MBL again.i had printscreen my websites when your logo appeared into my MBL recent readers.I keep it as my best gift when a powerful webmaster like you had come visit to my web.But don’t know if that’s are really you..
February 26, 2007 at 10:53 pm
I guess that means you won’t be using MBL ever in the future? Or are you a never say never kind of guy?
February 26, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Damn man you rocked my blogs socks! They finally apolgoized!
February 26, 2007 at 6:39 pm
Wow Jeremy, it seemed like you really shook up the admin.
Must feel nice to be a hard hitter.
February 26, 2007 at 3:59 pm
Do I get shoemoney points for saying, very early on, that I never saw the point of my …?
February 26, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I love reading this blog (but dont have time to check everyday and read every post). Last time i checked, shoemoney loved MyBlogLog, looking back now, they all seem negative about it? What happended?!
February 26, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Agreed.
February 26, 2007 at 1:29 pm
I recetnly decided to join MBL and I saw your avatar back up there. So, I added you.
I was beginning to wonder whether or not they were going to make amends.
February 26, 2007 at 11:38 am
There’s no such thing as bad press!
Plus, they were clued in on an exploit that Jeremy could’ve kept to himself and capitalized on.
February 26, 2007 at 8:00 am
Lemme get this right. You exploited a flaw in their site (whatever the reason/excuse), published the means to your sizeable audience, and now they’re apologizing to YOU ??
You should be on your hands and knees thanking THEM for their generosity !
Mebbe I got this wrong, but something dont quite fit here..
February 25, 2007 at 11:56 pm
lmfao!
February 25, 2007 at 11:55 pm
I got so lost trying to read that comment. You sir have just wasted 30 seconds of my life I can never get back. You owe me.
February 25, 2007 at 11:52 pm
*note to self- jump to action if shoe gets involved in some type of controversy.
Something tells me I am going to be a busy, busy man.
February 25, 2007 at 10:13 pm
they got bad rap at first but If nothing else in the end additional exposure from the whole ordeal.
February 25, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Ah, the power of a blog!
February 25, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Never turn your back on a Man that wishes shake your hand. Very well done Jeremy.
February 25, 2007 at 4:07 pm
Very good of Eric to do this. He’s right — he screwed up.
February 25, 2007 at 3:26 pm
So, where is your mybloglog “readers” list or is that gone for good
February 25, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Good for you. Although I can see the original cause for the ban, I don’t think we should stop writing about something just because it’s going to annoy some people.
February 25, 2007 at 11:24 am
can anybody tell me a tool to use to research adword terms.
spyfu.com returnes old result 3mo.s
thanks
February 25, 2007 at 9:37 am
No worries Shoe, you’re still the man.
February 25, 2007 at 8:08 am
Its good that they unbanned you. I only knew mybloglog exists because of you. I guess they didn’t realize how famous you were.
February 25, 2007 at 1:51 am
Keyword Density Analysis of your current blog shows the word “mybloglog” showing up atleast 75 times on your site. Time to change the subject. (and please no more about shaved bimbos either) It accounts for .8% of all content, and 3.6% of all links.
February 24, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Hey Shoemoney, please do us all a favor and stop writing the word “MyBlogLog” all over your site. I could care less about their service or their stupid name. Your blog used to be good.
February 24, 2007 at 9:43 pm
NEXT EXPLOIT! Can you switch your picture? Remove that picture of you in black in your profile to some pr0n.
February 24, 2007 at 9:31 pm
I do like your style, Shoe
February 24, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Like closing the barn doors after all the Bloggers ran out.
Uh too little too late…
February 24, 2007 at 6:02 pm
MyBlogLogDog never apologized that I can see. i screw up all the time, but i don’t apologize all the time. there’s a difference. DogBlogFog wants to go the non-apology apology route like the United States government and other cowardly government often do – that’s their prerogative, but you don’t have to accept it. in this case, i understand DogFogBlog represents some of your living wages, but you’re just a single person. anyone with a conscience who doesn’t need DogBlogMy to get by should not ever use them again, period – it’s that simple.
second, what MyFoggyDog did was wrong for several reasons. they tried to silence dissent. they did silence dissent. and they further risked their user’s reputations just to save face. that’s abominable behaviour.
I’m not sure why that DogBlogFog site has so many apologists, but there’s not much in the way of substance coming from the FoggyDog fanboys – just the lame excuses about ‘those meddling kids’ messing up the internets.
Pathetic all around. Pathetic for MyBlogDog’s actions. Pathetic for DogMyBlog’s non-apology apology. Pathetic for BlogDogMy’s attempt to redirect blame for the situation on the victim and others who were watching the spectacle from the sidelines. Pathetic for DogMyBlog’s users still continuing to use the service after MyBlogsDog has shown that a major corporation will come down against an private individual when it suits its needs. Pathetic for every MyBlogsDog fanboy apologizing for their egregious behaviour.
Blah.
February 24, 2007 at 6:01 pm
I LIKED your blog, but now it is getting tedious. Overkill with MyBlogLog.
February 24, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Wrong to post instructions on how to exploit a website. He could have contacted them and reported the bugs. Don’t give me the bullshit “oh, if Shoe didn’t post the bugs they would have never been fixed.” They would have been fixed, maybe not as fast, but it would have been done.
February 24, 2007 at 5:29 pm
I wonder if they did it because they noticed a drop in traffic due to the amount of people removing the widget from their blog. Not that I’m a sackrider but when someone who you respect like Jeremy uses a product and that company bans that person for pointing out something that they need to fix it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Being that a large percent of people who use or used it because jeremy did have removed it they will have to work harder to recapture that percent back.
February 24, 2007 at 5:11 pm
I don’t know much about MBL other than what I have read here, and a couple of other blogs that protested your being banned.
I think you are doing the right thing in accepting their apology if they lifted the ban, which I assume they have.
February 24, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Good for you and good for Eric and the gang at MyBlogLog!
Is it all just one big freaking happy family … or what?
February 24, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Shoe I think its big of you to accept there apology. If it was me I would have rode out more links.
February 24, 2007 at 4:19 pm
If its wrong to post bugs then I don’t want to be right!
February 24, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Why did they apologize? You’re in the wrong.
February 24, 2007 at 3:39 pm
How’s it feel to control the interweb?
February 24, 2007 at 3:32 pm
Dude, fix your blog fonts. They looked messed up in Camino on my Mac!
February 24, 2007 at 3:31 pm
it’s good what you do shoe.. we always should forgive our sinners.. but for a record do you want to use MBL anymore?
February 24, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Well well, that’s quite cool. Good job
!
