    Since when have we been chinese?

    Browsing the internet and came across this article which suggests Hexus is Chinese.

    A Chinese technology website Hexus claims to have...
    Are we? It's just that i haven't seen any chinese written on our website ever!

    Re: Since when have we been chinese?

    I've never heard of that site, they are clearly noobs.

    Hexus.net is a registered UK company. DR is a bloke from England and I believe thats where the server is hosted as well. Other than some of the news on HEXUS.channel, nothing about the site is Chinese

    Re: Since when have we been chinese?

    i have nothing better to do with my time, so have sent a nice polite email informing the guy of his mistake. also made him aware of this thread, so dont make too much fun of him

    copy of email

    hello there yoda.

    just thought you'd like to know (and you can probably guess by me writing in english) that HEXUS is NOT a chinese website. so can I politely ask that you correct the following http://everydaytech.tumblr.com/post/...-prices-leaked

    we are based in the UK and are run by some very nice top notch blokes from the merry ol' land of england.

    just so you know, i don't work for HEXUS in any shape or form, i'm part of the unofficial welcoming committee going by the user name 'stevie lee'

    we are currently discussing your article at http://forums.hexus.net/general-disc...n-chinese.html, so feel free to join up and join in with the discussion - particularly your reasons why you think we are chinese.

    your internet helper friend

    stevie

    i was bored, feeling in a helpfull mood. don't hate me

    Re: Since when have we been chinese?

    Hexus was actually conceived by this Chinese fella:-



    Don't expose it to sunlight or water. But whatever you do, don't feed it after midnight.

    Re: Since when have we been chinese?

    Judging by the posts above, I'd say "we're" struggling at the English part
    |Kata: "Read title as 'fisting'. Not sure why I clicked. Relieved, really."|
    |TAKTAK: "It was so small that mine wouldn't fit into it"|
