Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight book series is the first one EVER to inspire me to join an online group, just to talk about it and laugh about it. THis is the first on-line group I’ve joined period. I love you all. It really disturbs me how people can be so malicious. I mean, honestly, what’s the point? If you do not agree with something – go be creative and start your own group, stop trying to hurt others! Thank you so much to everyone who was and is vigilant at the LEX and here on TM’s. And other sights. I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot of people with a rather harsh point of view towards all things Twilight, maybe it has been like that for other books and authors too, but this one hits home. How sad. What a sad, little person to do something like this!

Thank you so much Pel & Alphie….your tremendous effort does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. What an absolute dreadful thing to happen…and to the person/persons that did this….no evil deed goes unpunished!! It comes back to haunt you!!

Pel and Alphie…after all your hard work, you too deserve a month on Isle Esme…missed you!!!

Congrats to Pel & Alphie!! I can’t imagine how relieved they must be if all of their data is relatively intact! If their rebuild is even half as easy as they anticipated, that’s wonderful news!

If anything, this reminds me that I need to make sure that I always have a current back up of my company website! Though I would NEVER wish this on anyone!

I hope that soon all of our beloved Twilight sites will be up and running again. I never realized how much I miss the cameraderie on TM!!

I REALLY hope that by the time I am set up in my hotel room tonight (I have a work conference to attend) that TM will be back up and I’ll be able to catch up with all of my friends!

Hugs to you all after a long and emotionally tiring weekend!!

I too was glad to see them up and running this morning. Pel told me to let everyone know they may being going up and down for a day or so while they get things put back up. So if they do go down for a while it is just because they are working on it.

The Lexicon is back up and it looks like, to the good fortune of the Twilight Universe, they have come out on the other side of their attack unscathed!!! I, for one, would like to say, “Congratulations, Pel and Alphie!” I’m so glad that The Lexicon survived!!

This is just horrible! How could someone be so immature and selfish?

I am going to try my best not to go off on a rant, I just don’t understand why people who do things like this. I heard it said once that TRUE FREEDOM, is when you are able to do what is right, NOT whatever you want. What these people did was the opposite of freedom. It was criminal. Anyways, I am not sure if anyone read some of the comments on the Times article (I think it was it) about Bella getting married out of high school and immediately pregnant. I love when people say thing like that, because then again there is hypocrisy…. Hello, we are women and what ever we do, we make are the strength that makes this world what it is. Stay at home mom, CEO, whatever! These people really need to get a life.

Okay, I am done now…. Thanks!

Along with everyone else, I was upset to hear about the Lexion and give my support to Pel and Alphie and everyone else who works so hard on that site. I am among the crowd who was not pleased with Breaking Dawn but I wouldn’t dream of taking that out on ANYONE, not the Lex or S.M. It’s lunacy. After reading BD, the Lexicon was the first place I went to post because I knew I’d be able to express my opinion there without being yelled at. I knew I’d find others who shared my thoughts and I could take comfort in the fact that I wasn’t alone in my opinions. I wish the Lexicon the best of luck as it gets back on its feet and I hope this silliness will stop.

Twilight Fanfiction and Art was also hacked. Pel had to take it down, and it’s also affecting 3 charity sites that she hosts for free. I am so annoyed at the disrespect, plus I check for new stories every day. Thank you to all the site moderators for all your hard work. The majority of the Twilighters love and appreciate you. I agree with the poster that wants to send a message of love and support for Stephenie. I wasn’t sure about the ending, but I liked it more after reading her Q&A. This is her world, not ours. Personally, I’m glad Bella was a shield. I still haven’t recovered from all the loss in HP7. I was dreading the idea of Jacob or one of the Cullens dying (though I wouldn’t have missed Jane or Felix).

This is all just so sad! I mean – I thought I was way too obsessed with the Twilight books – but to be so obsessed that you could be that dissappointed in a BOOK that you would go so far as to express your displeasure by hacking into a webiste – that’s just sad on so many levels.

I am just sick over what has happened to the Lex. They are great ladies over there who work tirelessly for the Twilight fans. And to have a “fan” hack into their system is devastating. I hope they are able to get things up and running soon and know that the TwilightMoms wish them well.

there are some people who really don’t have anything better to do. i just couldn’t fathom how they are so capable of doing such unproductive and malicious deeds. the lexicon is my second most favorite site, and i’m really disheartened by this event. i miss the lex already!

to the admins and moderators of TMs thank you so much for all the hard work you’ve been putting forth to continually ensure the smooth operation of our site. your dedication and vigilance are trully appreciated by us TMs.

Thank you for your words of kindness and support. I am deeply sadden to see our playground destroyed, but comments like yours remind me why our work is not a wasted effort. Our love for the series is what brings us together and this unfortunate event will hopefully unite our fandom. Thank you Twilight Moms.

Anyone heard of a problem at Twilight Fanfiction and Fanart site? I cannot get that site to come up tonight at all.

horrible…i cant believe someone would do that. whats the point? im a little confused by what happened…i didnt “love” breaking dawn like i did twi, nm, eclipse but i would never even think to do something like that….im actually re-reading bd and want to talk about it. how lame!

Wow, this is just really sad. I just finished reading BD and I was hoping to share my love for the books and have meaningful discussions with everyone here.. It is sad enough that some people have nothing good to say about SM and the saga but is it really necessary for them to destroy a private site? It is really scary how those people handle their emotions.

My heart goes out to SM, the Lex and to our wonderful moderators. I hope we get through this. I am looking forward for the forums to be open again. I truly miss our site.

Thanks TM, I’m glad I was able to find out here what happened at the Lexicon. I am concerned bc I opened the email before I knew what happened so I hope I didn’t just invite a hacker to my computer. Its to bad this hacker didn’t use their time and energy doing something more creative then hacking into someone else’s web site, what a waste of knowledge.

I am appalled that a “fan” was so self-absorbed and filled with hateful vengeance that she dedicated hours of her life to destroying the personal property of those she disagreed with–having no regard for the legality or morality of her actions.

I am appalled that so many young teens feel they have the right to spew vitrol wherever and in whatever amounts they desire, with no regard for the feelings of others. That’s not freedom of speech, that’s abuse! They may have a right to their opinions, but imposing those opinions on others on a private site is not a right, it is a privilege.

My heart goes out to Pel and Alphie; I miss the Lexicon! I miss my friends there! I hope the site can be brought back up essentially undamaged; but if not, I hope Pel and Alphie know how much their hard work has meant to me over the months since I was introduced to Twilight.

Thank goodness for Twilight Moms … I know I’m not alone in my obsession, ’cause you all are here, too! Thank you, Stephenie, for a wonderful, compelling, and completely enchanting story!
