No Customers? Resort to Spam
Some of you may be aware of my previous post on Frozen Midnight Hosting in which I referenced their apparent defrauding of customers, and a follow-up on Jamie’s other “activities”. Well, I noticed a few hits through a thread at web hosting talk earlier so I took a peek at the FMH homepage for shits and giggles…
Nice! Oh well, at least we know now how Jamie financially supports his crooked business.
Edit: Aww, he removed them :(
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

I don’t see those links… I tried disabling adblock plus too but nothing showed up either… I guess your e-powers are so amazing that he got wind of this article a mere seconds after you posted… or he subscribes to your feed =P
-
^ I went and there were even more links than shown on the screenshot.
-
I see it too, and not only that, its the kind of links that span the whole page so if you click on the seemingly innocent white space, you’ve clicked a link. :\ Turd!
-
@Vera: I only see the links with JavaScript enabled (disabling NoScript) but you can see the in the source. @Rhian: yeah, unfortunately I could only fit so many in a screenshot ;) It did occur to me that this might be one of those trojans that implants links in all index files, in which case it\’s all the more funny. I wonder if Jamie will be billing himself for this security breach?
-
I can’t see the links. I view the source and saw that (changed the greater than / lesser than into brackets so my comment won’t get cut): [!--uFGe2KWGKi|1206916517--][spam style=display:none] Yes, “spam”, not “span”. the comment at the beginning doesn’t sound very “friendly”.
-
I don’t use NoScript (only AdBlockPlus) and always browse with js enabled… but yeah, I noticed them in the code. Then I guess my version of FF is really smart: MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
-
I don’t see the links and I don’t see any links in the source code… I also don’t see any body tags in the code either. *cries*
-
Aww, they’ve been removed Rachael. No fair :(
-
Yeah, it’s totally unfair that your influence is so large, Jem. XP
-
Yeah, no fair… I want the body tags back. :(
-
He’s still an arse though :)
-
Well said Rhys, bloody well said ;)
-
I bet you any money that he removed them because he still stalks your blog and read this post ;P I’m surprised he’s still even in business. This guy needs to go away :’(
-
What a scammer! I read all your posts (which dated back to July 2007) and I can’t believe that guy is still in business. Thank you for warning us Jem!
-
I am amazed he still messes around on the internet.
-
Finally, his site is inactive, and shut down, however, I feel somewhat inclined to share this (you may already know), a Google representation, and perfect explanation to his spam attempts.
-
There’s the image.
-
AHHHH, I can’t post the image.
Well; URL?
