Does the contest involve decoding this? If so, I don't think I can do it.

Not hacked, coded....

Dear Readers,
This is not hacked but actually a good code.
You may solve it by thinking outside of the box.
Steve, thank you for the fun!
Best wishes to all!

Makes total sense to me... question is whether I'm in time to win ;)

At first, I thought : "Well, if each character corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, we could decode this message by calculating the order of frequency of each letter..." ... seemingly, things weren't so complicated... :lol:

A very enjoyable cipher, though, but I wouldn't have guessed without Todd's message. Now that's a stiff neck I have.

Actually, it is not a code or cipher at all, just a fancy font called "Far East" which I found some time back and downloaded off the intenet.

The first message was all in capitals, and the capitals are all turned sideways like that. I didn't know that the regular letters were not turned like that until I posted this last message and noticed the differance.
