Mtv- The Lexicon

Submit News | Posted by Geo | Categories: MTV

Mtv has an article about the twilight lexicon being hacked. See it here!

The feuding vampires and werewolves in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series have enjoyed a long-standing truce, but the battle between unabashed fans of the latest novel, “Breaking Dawn,” and those who were disappointed or angered over the eagerly awaited conclusion is just heating up.

On Friday, that battle went technological, as the most prominent “Twilight” fan site on the Web, the Twilight Lexicon blog, was hacked by a malicious computer criminal, shutting down the site for more than 48 hours. It was an opening salvo aimed directly at the series’ most vociferous and zealous supporters, who were targeted because of their allegiance, site moderator Nicole Bright told MTV News.

Did y’all see some of those comments below the article? Wow… so hostile. :/

I do agree with some people that this article really wasn’t important, unless MTV wanted to start something. It kind of makes me a little nervous.

just because they didn’t get their way doesnt mean they need to do that to the Lex!

I thought it was hacked because some people didn’t agree with the Lexicon’s rules about Netspeak and character bashing; at least, that’s what the Lex said.

So what does this person mean, it was aimed at supporters?

I agree with Kathryn.

If the Lex is willing to put this behind them why can’t all of us?

Sadly the MTV article has it’s facts wrong. If they took the time to read the message from Pel on Lexicon; they would know that the Lexicon forum was hacked because some people were unhappy with posting guidelines set down by Pel and the others. According to Pel’s announcement some of these hackers believed they were having their “Freedom of Speech” squashed by having to abide by the ToS.

Ah! So I was right. MTV needs to get its facts right before they really make us angry. I bet whoever wrote that article wasn’t Larry. He would know better.
