Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster
After spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.
It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.
Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.
Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.
Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.
Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.
This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.
If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.

well it LOOKS good.
only problem: to access my SQL database I need the SSH tunneling. and this feature is only available in the enterprise version. I think this is strange because SSH tunneling is very important ESPECIALLY for non-corporate users that have their SQL database running on a hosted webserver... too bad.
Does anyone have alternative suggestions? Accessing SQL directly from my home sounds great compared to PHP MyAdmin...

update: well looks like I did not miss much. i tried the trial of the enterprise version and it does not work either. I suppose the problem is, that it does not allow to specify SSH authentication methods, and since my server uses "keyboard interactive" instead of "password" it can't even login to the ssh server.

@blabla: Your problem was that version 5.2 beta1 was wrongly packaged. It simply contained the wrong version of the tunneller client code. The changelogs clearly tells that. It was fixed with beta2 long ago now. Try again! (and BTW: beta3 has been released now)
