Apparently someone got ahold of our password and posted some immature content in the forums and sent out malicious messages using the Nordica account yesterday.

I want to take the time to apologize for someone else's stupidity. It bums me out to see that a random member of the NS community went out of their way to make us look bad and targeted other users using our identity.

Huge thanks to the NS mods for catching this and bringing it to my attention; also for getting the situation under control and deleting this persons attempt to slander Nordica. Another reason why NS is such an amazing site.

If anyone was hassled by our username in the past 24 hours please shoot me a PM and ill be sure to hook you up with a sticker pack or some swag. I want to make this right.

Thanks,

- Evan Williams

Shoot me a PM with your address. This bad situation calls for some free sticker packs for the NS community.

Anyone who's interested in some stickers, send me a PM!

That's a really sad thing to do... Someone is really fucked up.

Kudos to you Evan for giving out freebies even when you don't have to!

what did they do exactly? I didn't even notice any forum shenanigans. Is there any way to find out who did it? what kind of legal stuff could whoever did this get into since they "hacked" a business' account?

I always though of Nordica as a core racing big brand company. This "backing your shit up" and not "hoping no one noticed" gives you guys some serious awesomeness

Can't you do an IP track to find out who did it? If Mousseau can see I downvoted the Rogge interview then they can find who did it

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is why we push Nordica in the shop. Good dudes, great brand, awesome product. And one of the hardest hitting brands on NS as far as reaching out to the community. Good stuff right here

Holy smokes! People love stickers!

Click for larger image

Ill try and get back to all of you this week. Lots of stickers to ship out. Thanks to everyone for being understanding about the situation.

And to those who think we did this ourselves... What company in their right mind would post smut all over the forums and personally attack their consumers/fans and NS admins via PM? Can someone post the definition of marketing? Call me crazy, but my guess is that slander/defamation of your own company isn't a good strategy... Total facepalm.

Believe me, there are many other things id like to be doing right now while I'm on vacation than clean up this hackers mess.
