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.

I thought that was pretty interesting. Some of them were pretty good fakes. I was happy with my score.

This is absolute baloney!! Just a silly way of hawking their security app. I scored an 8/10. Errors they point out are near impossible to catch. I dont review any web-page this closely. Every nitty gritty element? I realize some of you may think this the very purpose of the tool--do the detailed analysis for you. I would like to pose two brief questions:
1. How do you reach such dubious sites? What are the chances that I would end up on one of these sites. I dont click on the links in my email.
2. So people you have crappy English be tagged as security risk, or for that matter pages with non-standard CSS?
