Looks like my gmail has been hacked somehow. When I tried to log into my gmail yesterday I couldn’t get in, and it appears that my Orkut account is gone as well.
A friend of mine looked for me and some guy owns all the communities I started on Orkut so I can only assume he was some part of the whole thing, dumbass. I’m not too worried about that since I hate Orkut anyway, but not having access to my gmail account is irritating.
I tried to do the password recovery thing but it says that no account by that name even exists anymore, when my friend looked me up on Orkut my profile was gone as well. It’s as though I’ve just been wiped out by Google completely. I tried to contact them to see if it can be fixed but I haven’t heard anything back yet, maybe it’s because it’s a weekend.
Anyhow, if you normally would mail me at my gmail address don’t bother because I won’t get it. Hopefully I’ll be able to sort something on Monday if I ever get in touch with anyone. In the meantime, if you are on Orkut please send a mail reporting whoever owns the Piercings and Tattoos communities and explaining what has happened to me, maybe it will help to move this all along quicker.
I lose at the internet.
This may be a good time to pull the Orkut plug all around. Wankers.

Oh CRAP. I did a search on the communities, and assume it was this one for Tattoos:
http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=8446
and this one for Piercings:

Showing the owner as: l0v3 m3 0r l34v3 m3.?.
I’ve reported the hacking to Orkut, although I’d be very surprised if anything gets done about it.
The weird thing is that there are scraps from Huy Zing in the hacker’s scrapbook. I took a screenshot here:

I hope he doesn’t have anything to do with this.
THAT SUCKS! Ok, I have not been on Orkut in AGES until I went there now to check and yup, you are deleted, babe. Bastard.
I have sent a message to Orkut about it. I hope it helps.
How are things with you otherwise? Had a nice birthday did you?
