…something that’s been troubling me about ezboard, Inc.’s CEO, Robert Labatt’s Yuku profile is that he seems confused about dates.
He appears to be confused as to when his company’s data was compromised by what they claimed was a hack attack and they lost all that data: 70,000 posts on our ezboard alone. That’s one out of the 500,000 claimed ezboards.
He writes:
“I came to ezboard in 2004 as the CEO with a mandate to improve the service and create a great company. In the time I have been at the company, we have really improved the reliability of our systems (and after the May ‘03 attack, our security).”
You know, I could have sworn that was May 2005… You know, after he was put in charge and not, as his self-penned profile might erroneously suggest, before.
I’m sure that’s just another typo and not deliberate though…

He must read your blog. I noticed he deleted the “and after the May ‘03 attack, our security” part. He never again mentions the hack though; it must be too shameful a memory for him.
I also noticed that at several places you’ve posted at, Yuku loyalist have begun posting after you (at Digg and other areas), seeking to make you out into some kind of nutcase. They call you a single “disgruntled user” (among other things) and ask that nobody listen to…I suppose…a “lone voice in the wilderness.” This is insulting, both to you and to the thousands who have left their fold in disgust.
Keep on posting, I for one will keep on reading…
…and I suspect that they will keep on reading too.

The one thing that really annoys them - both the ezApologists and the ezboard, Inc. staff - is that everything I write here and elsewhere is backed up by good, hard, cold facts, the sort that ezboard, Inc. would rather have hidden away or forgotten about.
