Moved
So, I was a huge fan of modblog for the longest time. My good friend Brad had worked on it for a while, and it had some great functions. But as time went by, the server started having problems and the blog was down for long periods of time. I was disappointed, but determined to stick it out, until today.
Yesterday someone on Full Contact Poker had nicely pointed out that my blog link in my sig was not working. If someone saw my blog link in my sig on Full Contact Poker and clicked on it, they got a blocked error and to contact abuse. I contacted modblog to find out what was up and they mentioned that modblog had recently blocked several "gambling and porn" sites from linking to them because of complaints. Now, Full Contact Poker has one blog on it Daniel N's, but is basically just a forum site, not a "gambling site." This was annoying.
But then it got worse. Modblog then complained that the three links I had in my blog were a violation of their Terms of Use because they were advertisments with click referrals.
Link 1 was a link to Poker Source online, which doesn't sell anything, but gives people good deals on Bonuses for signing up on Poker sites. In that link there is a referrer code I use, but its not per click. Still, ok, I would concede this one just ot be nice.
Link 2 was to Cardplayer.com, the electronic form of the Popular Poker Magazine, which sells basically nothing.
Link 3 was to Full Contact Poker, which as we just went through, is a forum site.
They were nice enough about the whole thing when I pointed this out, but nonetheless, they have now been filed under my "too stupid to deal with" category so I am moving my blog. To here I guess. Going to try it out for a few days and see how it goes. Meanwhile, if you have no idea who I am and just stumbled here because you troll Blogspot, feel free to check out my old blog at http://monkster.modblog.com.
You know, if they don't block it.

Hi,
Good job on your site. I like to see all the different blogs people come up with. My anorexia site is kind of different and it deals with pro ana pro suicide and stuff like that. again, good job on your site!
Damn, on for one hour and already hit by a spam bot. I thought the word verification was supposed to fix that.....
