So you want to know what the deal is with Shoemoney and how his temper temper tantrum at DP forum certainly paints a disturbing picture for both Shoemoney and Digitalpoint Forums?
I started a thread at DigitalPoint that asked “Why John Chow has PR3 and Shoemoney has PR6″ and if you’re familiar with DigitalPoint forums, you know something like that is going to eventually turn into a flame war when all the Shoemoney fanboys start clashing with the Shoemoney haters. That’s what forums are for, except Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker, who is a DigitalPoint “guest” moderator stepped in and started hurling profanity and insults drirectly at me.
Sure, we’re all used to Schoemaker’s rabid rants, his linkbait false accusations (DMOZ Extortion) and his constant attacks on others but here’s a couple of screenshots to show just how arrogant Shoemoney truly.
Above, Shoemoney shows his lack of control and launches a profanity laden personal attack but look at this…
Yeah, can you believe it, Shoemoney banned me from DigitalPoint forums !!! A place where I’ve made hundreds of friends, racked up a ton of good reputation and am known for helping people out and telling the truth. I’m sorry, but last time I checked, DigitalPoint was a public forum and all topics were open for discussion - including Mr. Schoemaker’s blog which is also publicly accessible. If Jeremy “ShoeMoney” Schoemaker can’t handle the heat he needs to get out of the kitchen.
Shoemoney’s childish profanity and hostile manner of banning members who have been in good standing at DP over the long haul is a true disservice to any webmaster forum on the internet
Note: Due to the fact that some people have nothing better to do than rehash this post, it has been edited and all negative comments have been removed because I no longer want this post being featured on the front page of this blog. oh, and Shoemoney still sucks.

I hate that guy so much it’s good to see you ringing his bell. I can’t believe that forum would allow him to ban members like that. He is a loose cannon and should be tossed out on his hairless white butt.
Dave,
Don’t worry. I am already contacting the other mods to let them know what Jeremy did to you. I don’t really like his blog but he has lost my respect as a mod at DP.
Cari
Don’t back down to that monster. He thinks he’s hot sh!t but he’s really cold poop. Hit him where it hurts. Break his pride into little pieces and spoon feed it to him.
FU*K SHOEMONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, Shoemoney is a real peach. I guess the guy can’t take criticism.
He has children and I feel sorry for them because if he can’t control his temper on a silly forum how will he act when his children bother and annoy him?
I was not a fan of him prior to this but now I think he is a foul mouth jerk.
Why are you all hating on Shoemummy? He’s my hero (not). ;-)
I’ve had my run in with ShoeMoney displaying a private email from me to his AuctionAds Support department on DP along with my name. I was then subjected to his attack on DP as well. A few days later was greeted with multiple infractions on my account…with no baring.
What sucks is that he has so many wannabe affiliates sucking at his teats that they take everything he says as scripture. I’m glad to see he is starting to fall and get knocked down a peg or two, that needs to happen when you forget where you came from.
This is not fair what he did to you Dave. Not fair at all.
I hope DP mods will look into this and make good with this.
I read Digital Point all the time and was absolutely shocked when I saw Bryce was banned, and then read the thread and was even more disturbed to see that this Shoemoney character could do such a biased action in what I thought was a fair and impartial forum.
The owner of Digital Point would be wise to get rid of this poison of a moderator Shoemoney in a hurry.
This is just terrible and it has changed the way I feel about Digital Point after years of thinking the world of that website.
Thanks for all the support everybody.
Cari, Chris, Diana - I believe my thread was merely an “open discussion” that numerous other members participated in and echoed my opinions of Jeremy Schoemaker yet I guess some people want to be celebrities but don’t want to take the negative side that goes with it.
In the meantime, I will not violate DP’s rules and create another account there. I’m also not angry at DP because just like any other community, there are good people and bad people. Sometimes the bad people get away with their actions for a long time but eventually it catches up with them in the end.
I just noticed this post is on Digg and people should probably go there and Digg it
More people need to read about this:

Jeremy Schoemaker worked with me several years back and I must say your asessment of him as a megalomaniac is accurate. He never finished his work and was always making excuses. When confronted with his shortcomings, he was hostile towards fellow co-workers. He brought an air of fear and resentment into the workplace. Everyone in the building avoided him if possible because of his argumentative nature.
His contract was terminated when he was caught working on his own personal websites at the company’s expense. This happened not once but several times. He was also suspected of illegal substance abuse when several co-workers reported that he was using cocaine in the employee restroom. We knew he was on a variety of medication for his mental and physical ailments but it was apparent he was abusing illegal drugs as well.
His mood swings and attitude problems made him a terror in the workplace and I thank God I never have to see him again in person. As the other person said, I truly feel sorry for his children because Jeremy Schoemaker has an extremely dysfunctional personality and he is a textbook schizophrenic.
I appreciate if my identity is kept anonymous because I fear reprisal from Jeremy Schoemaker if he finds out I’ve posed this about him.
Dave/Bryce - You are one of my favorite members at DP. I hope they will resolve this issue quickly and unlock the thread you started because it was one very good discussionwe were having. Shoemoney had no right locking it just because it was discussing him. He was completely out of line and the profanity in his message to you for the reason of banning is not becoming of a moderator even on Wickedfire.
if you handed over 10 bucks to shoeb!tch for a paid review on his blog that was about murdering kittens he would find some way to try to sell it to his readers.
no matter what shoeb!tch says to defend himself he is so wrong this time by banning someone for freedom of speech and then cursing at you.
Wow - such harsh language. I’m sorry but nothing said on a forum can warrant that harsh treatment and foul language from a moderator. Very unprofessional from Mr. Shoemoney (whoever he is). I have lost all respect for Digital Point if they allow this behavior from one of their staff.
This is hilarious…
Look at this screenshot of the Google Adsense ads showing up for this post…

Seems I’m not the only one that thinks Shoemonkey need to meditate and take a chill pill.
Dude he told it how it was and i would have done the same thing to you at DP if i was him or another moderator.
Time to get another account … lmao!
@BlackHat - Yes it was a gay porn site. I wonder where he got the link from I mean, doesn’t everybody just go around looking for gay porn sites to post when they’re trying to play comment troll ??
:-)
I saw this on Wickedfire forum and it made me smile. Hope it does the same for you.
——————- snip - snip ———————————–
wow.. i actually feel sorry for him now.
Hes bald.
Hes ugly.
He lost weight to look good but it backfired now he looks like clayface from batman.
And he still can’t find his dick under all the extra baggage he gained.
…
Forget the Cancer Kids this guy needs to be next in line for Make a wish foundation!
This shoeman guy sounds like a real loser, big time. Even if you can make money on your blog doesn’t mean you can spend twice as much.
You are accusing Jeremy of being evil, and then throw at him a personal vendetta filled with anger and personal attacks?
Most people here have never even met Jeremy yet they so willingly say the most atrocious things about him.
LOL, thanks for the laugh once again. I can see you have no clue how old I am. You should do research before typing up b.s.
I choose not to write proper english and put my blog in my own words. Friends from school and gamer chat rooms read my blog? lol, that’s another laugh. My readers are people I never knew until they started reading my blog and we got to know each other. I never want to be like shoe nor chow unlike yourself. (Chow wannabe) I didn’t try to make a “make money online” blog. I started out just blogging to keep track of things I learned and earnings I made. Then it became so much more.
You a joke. Your blog is a joke. Crying over somebody else pr is sad. True webmasters know that pr means nothing. You been blogging since early 2007 and still don’t have a big blog, lol. My blog on the other hand, started early this year and surpass your blog months ago. Why are you evening blogging?
kushmoney just got P’OWNED !!!! and his blog does suck camel turds. ya called it straight up bout him being a kopykat douche. ESAD kushie !! youre a kopykat douche.
Randy, no need to resort to personal insults, it’s childish and rather unnecessary.
I can understand why Dave would be upset, I just feel there are more sensible ways to get your point across, and bringing a discussion down to this level will not help anyone.
Additionally if the very basis for Dave’s argument is that he was personaly insulted, wouldn’t you agree that doing the same thing will just aggravate the situation?
We can all have our professional divergences, and think differently about the way we conduct business, but resorting to personal attacks from either side is not the way to go.
Jeremy should not have responded the way he did on a public forum that he moderates, no question about it, but you must agree that the thread Dave created was quite provocative and inflammatory, not because of the content itself, but mostly due to its form. (Calling Jeremy and John a whore and what not)
Let me reinstate however that proper forum moderation requires an impartial, rational, and “moderated” conduct that was not followed by Jeremy, and that inevitably led to Dave’s account “suspension”. Nevertheless, I find that this is not a proper justification for insulting someone at a personal level to this extent.
ahhh finally shoemoney fumbles the ball… (n00b)
you see i’ve always seen him as that fat kid in school that ALWAYS got picked on… (ALWAYS!) so when he had his surgery and lost a lil weight and then got a screenshot of a fat check… he thought hey i’m a big man now.. but not really.. he’s still that lil fat kid from school just trying to fight back.. and fails like usual..
well i must say that you are awesome my friend for calling him out like that… simply awesome!
You know, I was having a bad day until now. This is great! lmbfbo!
Dave, I think it was a very good and wise gesture of your part to put some “order” into this “debate”. In all honesty I can see where you are coming from, but I see it more as a communication problem then a personal issue between the two of you.
As a moderator you cannot use the “power” you are entrusted to carry on your personal agenda, but the response, as I expressed before, I feel was also not adequate as well.
I believe (know) that Jeremy is not as bad as he is made out to be by some of the comments I’ve read here, but quite frankly you were also mistreated, and whatever dispute Jeremy had with you should have been kept strictly between the parties involved.
Most importantly Jeremy should not have abused his position at the digital point forums but also comments that degraded Jeremy on this blog should also “limited” or better yet, deleted, not because they were negative, but because they were completely off topic, insulting his physical appearance and things of the same nature that are completely irrelevant and truly vile.
Shoemoney jumped the gun and used curse words that would get any other DP member an infraction. In my eyes he damaged his own reputation when he posted this about Shawn Collins calling him a whore.
http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/07/15/could-shawn-collins-be-any-more-jealous-of-the-top-affiliate-challenge/
From the blog post :
just saw Shawn “The Hustler” Collins video talking about the Top Affiliate Challenge. I am not even going to link to the video because it has like 90 views and I am not going to give the attention starved whore any more.
Shoemoney goes on to bend the truth (as he often does) and say his site got 5x the amount of mentions as Shawn’s but when some people on the comment thread called him out and he blamed it on his computer. :-(
So what gives Shoemoney the right to call other people a whore but when somebody says he’s a whore, he goes psycho ??
Carolyn, I can’t see how posting those pictures opened Jeremy’s life to ridicule, I am sorry, but that’s just preposterous.
I think she means that most people tend to maintain a certain degree of privacy on the internet and don’t go posting our personal or family photo albums for the world to see.
In fact, I was writing an article for another blog I author about the richest people in the world and you’d be suprised how difficult it is to even find one photo online of any of the top billionaires except for maybe Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
Good Job for standing up for yourself and not letting this go. Another corrupt mod is Arron nimocks (FAG) or however you spell it. Shoemoney has been officially pwned!
I cannot believe he banned you. I cannot believe his message to you!
shoemoney is now banned from dp
FWIW I dugg this post. Is that picture of him with the tilted hat for real? Wannabe celeb look, does wonders for his credibility.
Thanks for posting a comment on our blog.. it’s true Digital Point has been taking a turn for the worse lately. Luckily our infractions weren’t ShoeMoney related - though I’ve had numerous encounters with him where his elitism / arrogance is beyond sickening.
Hopefully you’ll be unbanned and Digital Point will step up and get their act together.
No one needs your useless ass around dp. Don’t you have 20 houses, 500 cars and nolife to take care of?
Mata e curva,
Emma
@mata e puta - yeah, I guess you’re right. Just look at how high the quality of DP’s member posting is … ;-(
Maybe I’m not not worthy of posting a hundred thousand “Google PR Update” threads and such. Maybe I’m not good enough because I’m not selling some scraped databases or promoting some crappy bidding directory… need I say more? Let’s face it, everyone knows DP is so full of non-US scammers that it’s no longer worth being a member.
As far as what my material posessions are concerned, you can send an email to IBM and ask them why they paid me $100K per year as a C++ programmer. you might try getting a masters degree and working for 15 years and maybe you might own a house or two in the process. Otherwise, you can stay with DP and keep selling your signature for $5 per month and maybe in a century or two you can afford a down payment on a home.
Otherwise — estoy que no puedo mas un dolor en el asno. Chupa me y sópleme y váyase a la mierda retraso.
..and - next time, try being a man and post your URL or a real email address instead of being a anonymous chicken slinging shizit.
wow. what a bitch.
i never saw a moderator act like that before, hands down for shoemoney!
also digitalpoint is being very gay lately, banned a couple of my friends and me for 2 months for creating new threads etc.
I think that Buffalo is awesome! :D
thanks for your post on my blog about a very similar experience I had.
i have raised the question on DP here:

by the way, I got infracted at DP for posting a link to this post!!!
MOG
@MOG, looks like the went so far as to delete your thread. :-)
I can honestly say that getting banned from DP actually had a positive effect on my internet work. I’m not wasting time getting in useless conversations to earn rep points in that community, so I’ve been more focused on my work and been cranking the sites out like crazy.
I used to get a bit of traffic from DP but I found several smaller forums (in addition tomy forum) where I’ve made much nicer friends. Also, I joined the Entrecard community and started interacting there. A lot of the best people from DP are over there. All in all, my traffic is way up, earnings are through the roof and productivity increased.
Getting banned from DP ended up being a blessing in disguise.
hahahaha
looks like that scammer DP mod Aaron Nimocks got banned from EPN :
http://www.aaronnimocks.com/your-ebay-partner-network-account-terminated.html
Serves him right for all the people he banned at DP. Wonder how he feels now that he was caught CHEATING !!!
There is never any glory to be taking solace in somebody else’s misfortune.
Don’t even worry about Shoemoney he is a complete joke! I’ve hated him from the start always making stupid statements in the Digital Point forums.. Haha and now Aaron Nimrocks got banned.. this is amazing! yea go try the Entrecard community I’m using it also and the people are great well so far =p. Good luck to you man hopefully that idiot Shoemoney will be kicked out of DP.
I appreciate your showing this mean spirited person for what he really is. I will never visit his blog ever again.
Its may be an old news but I got terribly shocked when I saw my onetime hero is my biggest judging mistake, I heard about him many times but I ignored but this is something too much and really unacceptable.
Down TO shoe SHOEMONEY!

One week ago a friend hit me up on instant messanger. I have known this guy for a long long time. We used to make a lot of money together from porn affiliates while in college. We were doing about 2000$ a month and thought we were rich… well we were compared to the rest of the students we lived with. Anyway This guy went on to start a adult empire that lasted 5 more years then he sold his company for 18 million dollars. I have talked to him a little bit since but not much. I thought he was a upstanding citizen like myself. Little did I know he still dabled in the dark arts of internet money making.

what an effing droog Shoemonkey is
OK, this was one of the best reads I’ve had in WEEKS. I’ve never really bothered to find out much about these “Shoemoney” and “Chow” people (I’m not exactly concerned about money at this point). But this piqued my interest, I couldn’t stop reading - all the way through the comments too. And by the way, I’m completely on your side. Talk about power hungry, what a joke.
He’s not just power-hungry, Shoemoney is pure evil. If there are Super-Affiliates then Shoemoney is the Super-Villian of the MMO community.

Can any tell me what happen
Jeremy Schoemaker is a fraud. Do not deal with him on any level or you will be sorry. I had the misfortune of hiring him to do SEO work for me and all he did was spam a bunch of blogs using some automated software. My website got blacklisted from Google but my business has grown because of my dedication to succeed. I have to thank his shoddy work for being an inspiration for my future.
I told myself “Continue to challenge you to move further towards your goals in life. You are not broken or forever lost, just merely misplaced….”
haha, shoemoney is crazy. He used to be a pretty reputable guy but I guess that’s all gone down the drain.
He surely deserves a kick on his ass.
He looks like a turn off jerk (not his fault),
Besides he acts like a moron going on a banning rage!
He should make a public apology & be banned from DP for life, also he should be removed from hismod position.
He is burning his own rep by acting that way.
Good job done by exposing him.
Let all of us comment spam blogs using his name :D :D
I only heard good things about this Shoemoney guy until I found this post. I am glad I have never got screwed by him. Thanks for the info.
DP has been going rapidly down hill for some time now! Mods do not care about the site, the owner is nowhere to be seen.
I am trying to get a forum off the ground that is similar to DP, and I hope one day will rival it!
It has AdSense revenue sharing too!
If you are interested, it is www.onlinemoneymakingforums.com
I almost stopped using DP forum because it is a paradise for spammers and scammers. WF is better place though. I think users there in DP should do something positive to stop spam.
I also thought this Shoemoney dude was for real but seems as though he’s a bit of a nutcase - his credibility has gone down the tubes as far as I’m concerned
Shoemoney is not banned from DP. His “status” read “banned” for a while but it is not fully restored.
It is complete abuse of moderator powers and that’s due to his connections with Shawn (the owner, who also happens to be the defendant to a cookie stuffing lawsuit brought on by eBay).
Anyone in the am business can ask around and you will see that Shoe is not currently making any “big” bucks and the recent screenshots are imho faked.
His blog has a lot of SEO ranking and he uses his Shoemoney brand to leverage it. It also helps to have the full weight of Alex of AzoogleAds (both jewish) behind him. Win/Win for both parties.
The bulk of his money was earned by free ringtone deception on his site nextpimp.com. Now that regulations will practically JAIL people for cellular charge deception he is no longer promoting them.
That’s all for now.
great post + great comments + great linkbait + well worth losing your dp account for the traffic you probably got from this article.
well don’t want to be a party pooper ,now im not a Shoemoney fan and his blog is useless. maybe its fun to read the comments from all the newbies thinking they hit the bigtime commenting that blog but he gets results. he may be a flash in the pan like billy mays or vince from shamwow but if shoe can land that tv endorsement deal?? millions baby.
Shoemoney and Digital ponit are a complete waste of time anymore. Shoemoney did himself in for many people with his temper and abuse of his mod powers at DP.
DP is done in by legit people who will not go there now because of the scams that go on constantly and nothing is done about it. Not to mention people who were good for the community that were banned for the dumbest reasons I have ever seen.
I am still a member in good standing there, but that is only because I stopped posting a long time ago when all this started. I am sure that they would have found a reason to ban me as well.
It is sad that a forum that had so much potential is not reviled by so many.
