Wilian, what do you mean the arguments are not lagit? at what point did I say “WHAT I AM SAYING IS FULL PROOF JOHN COW FAKED THIS HACK”? nope… didn’t think I did.

I said it may be, hence the use of words like… ‘maybe’ and ‘if’ also phrases like ‘this looks like’. And the question mark in the title also suggests this…

Illiteracy is the silent killer.

I think we need to remember that word of mouth can be negative and positive. It’s leverage that can go horribly wrong. It indeed was a fake but it may yet work in his favour. If the buzz goes bad he is big enough to sustain it in my opinion.

Well don’t worry about the advertising, he just said the ads will be up for a full 31 days, so you will still get all the days you were supposed to.

If he was in need of money after leaving his job to blog full time he should find another job instead of having his readers keep him afloat. Dumb idea if you ask me. Not to mention he’s taking time away from his advertisers with this.

Maybe all of a sudden he thought of this brilliant idea and forgot about the advertisers who paid him. I guess all the advertisers will be getting another months advertising for free.

Did you donated to him yet? I guess I am going to do so.

This hack may be John Cow’s invention.
But the arguments provided on the text are not legit.
Of course! If the account really got hacked, it’s just a matter of minutes to create an custom e-mail account for the (probably installed) cPanel® application.
Besides, uploading an image to the domain would be the easiest task ever.

I agree it can be a fake invasion. But your arguments does not proof it (at all).
