It seems that the ODEX site is happily hacked by a very unhappy fan. If you cannot get to the page, it is likely because it takes a while before the propagation of the site actually starts off. I was actually trying to go see how the ODEX site is turning out to be, only to get this pink website staring in front of me. A tad confused, I thought that I stumbled upon some porn website with a typo mistake, but affirmed that the site is correct.
It is then I realized…someone must have hacked ODEX.
My reactions? I laughed. Very darn hard. Oh, I do think that the person who did this will not be laughing too much when he gets his legal letters for a huge fine or jail term for this. Hacking onto a professional website, especially one that has quite a bit of media coverage, is not the smartest idea in the world.
Edit: Darkmirage found this out earlier. So, I am not the only bored person at 3.40 am.

The Beginning of the End…..for Odex. « Rants of the God Emperor added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 7:09 pmIf he/she is living in Russia, he won’t be getting any legal letters. Wink wink wink.
Author added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 12:42 pmI have just learned that the appropriate term for his grammar style is “Singlish.” Good to know, because it sure as hell isn’t any English I’m aware of.
Calawain added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 12:55 pmThat’s not Singlish. That’s just bad English.
There’s a difference, subtle and insignificant though it may be.
DKellis added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 1:10 pmHeck, 90% of the internet population use bad English so what does that leave them with to profile this “villain”? Well for one, he’s no Nazi, at least the grammar kind.
It’s an inside job by a distraught worker! Or it was all planned by ODEX to gain sympathy!!
Conspiracy theories FTW~
90%? What kind of retards are you hanging out with online?
Anonymous added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 4:40 pmi certainly hope the fellow who did this covered his tracks well enough..==” or else odex is going to have a field day… on another note… salute, coz he had the guts to do it.
Hatori added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 5:23 pmI hang out with 4channers and former /b/tards.
Actually, exposure to lolcats has made me slip my grammar to absymal levels, but that’s debateable.

Hei added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 7:58 pmI kind of feel sorry for Odex… and for the hacker, if he gets caught.
You would think things will settle down since the Pacific Net fiasco, but no, it’s probably going to continue spiraling downwards.
I wouldn’t say the hacker’s grammar is too bad. It’s acceptable, IMO, except for a few blatant mistakes here and there. It’s the spelling that I took note of.
Impz, I don’t see how you can mistake this as porn. 
lol odex is retarded i mean i get it if you have typos here and there
during blogs, ims, comments, w/e
but when you give something to the general public
it’s common sense to check for typos
or~~~~
all there translators are imported from foreign countries
It has been awhile but I do believe this article, a specific part of it, piqued my interest which led to an opinion that must be shared. For the particular individual who hacked and cracked his/her way into ODEX’s space online, there is a good chance ODEX might hire him/her as its staff who will handle some of their web affairs, or not, but it would be nice to see what will come up next. This ODEX issue is escalating to more and more intrigues.
ThirteenSugars added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 9:45 pmBtw, goshujin-sama, posting up this entry at 3:40 am? I’m taking that as a sign that you’re REALLY REALLY REALLY missing me 
(moomoomoo!)
Lets hope this bugger will not be deprived of using a computer for the next few years… … …
tueac added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 10:33 pm@Author: I am pretty sure that Russians can spell English pretty well. I think. They definitely can spell better than Nigerians.
@Calawain: Oh, error somewhat as Dkellis pointed out. It’s a mixture of singlish and bad engrish altogether.
@Amgine: LOL, well, I think the percentage is not 90% but perhaps 89%! I think that it’s just a very silly act in my opinion. If you hate ODEX, do something that is legal instead of something that might cost your future. It’s not a smart thing to hack any site.
@Anon: I think that it’s actually quite common that many people can hardly string a sentence.
*psst* I like your friends.
@Hatori: If anything is to go, he is from Singapore, and he is going to have a very fun time in the courts for this. I am not a pro-ODEX member, but doing this just shows a rather immature reaction toward an entity that is disliked. I might sound heartless, but when people breach the law this way, they should be punished.
I do not see this as guts, but more of stupidity.
@Drm: ya, I hang out with you…so. Just kidding, mate!
@Hei: Or reckless.
@Briar: Well, i don’t feel sorry for either side. I got a good laugh out of this. Hey, i associate pink color backgrounds with porn, and it is 3.40 am (was waiting for soccer to start). My eyes ain’t working too well. I think a spellcheck might help the hacker. He’s possibly not that old.
@Moomoo: Hahahaha, I think that ODEX will stick a huge fine instead. I do not think it makes sense for them to recruit someone like this, with an absolute idiot right on his head. Oh, I wa watching soccer. I don’t miss you at all, you baka girlfriend. HO HO HO~
@Tueac: or his entire life. It’s singapore, not usa.
Impz added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 11:06 pmLooks like that person is starting out a REVOLUTION! XD
but really… it’s so radical that it’s… stupid =___= like those people going on strike and doing stuff on impulse, without thinking of the consequence of their actions.
I am sorry guys but I can’t really share your enthusiasm for this.What he did was illegal and is a loss for Odex.Now it’s ODEX, so it’s no big deal, but imagine if it had been your bank?Definitely not funny.
This type of activities shouldn’t be encouraged.Sorry.
ZeusIrae added these pithy words on Nov 22 07 at 8:38 am@Impz: well, i agree it was more of stupidity than actual guts, but sometimes when can the two actually be distinguished? six to one,half dozen to another, imo. frankly i find it a combination of both.
Hatori added these pithy words on Nov 22 07 at 6:51 pm@zuesirae:
Well, to the most extent I agree that what the hacker did is pure folly. Gosh, if he gets found out he’s going to be in REALLY deep trouble. I got a friend who was sent to the boys home because of hacking, and even now he is under heavy scrutiny by the police.
Still, you have to understand that it is Odex. Odex already angered too many people with their actions, which locals deem as unreasonable. There is still a LOT of anger against Odex, hence the hacker went a bit out of his mind.
Besides, how is it a loss for Odex? It’s not like they have their forums or eve make sales by the website. The whole anime community of Singaopre is STILL boycotting them.
jamie added these pithy words on Nov 23 07 at 7:42 am~Goshujin-sama~If there’s a fine line between genius and crazy, there’s certainly one too between bravery and stupidity. You, however, fall beteen oinks and moos(RFLMAO)!
ThirteenSugars added these pithy words on Nov 23 07 at 9:13 pmI doubt that they will catch him, as long as he is a country other than the U.S. or the U.K. he is safe.Also, if this hacker atleast somewhat cautious he will atleast used a proxy.
Naruto Episodes added these pithy words on Nov 26 07 at 6:22 pmAt least he *did* something. While his actions are criminal, I say that ODEX can suck it. Me, I just hope that he’s somewhere safe, where they won’t get him. Hey, it’s no skin of *my* nose if anything happens to ODEX, so I say: Good job. ^_^
