\*I never saw that before: It looks like there are web sites were one can get points for every click one can get from friends, family, etc. This then makes the monster/army of the page creator more powerful. One of those gamers spammed all our forums yesterday with a link to his page; I will not mention the name nor the place it came from. However, my curses will be directed to the spammer and all the dorks that do such abominable things: \* You losers that pretend to be winners in your site: you sirs are the most rotten, disgusting, pieces of Cacodemon shit ever to appear in the WWW! May your army of darkness be only of insufficient light! May your avatar be pixilated, and by an Etch-a-sketch! May your soul suffer a defense loss of –2000! May you be killed by a single bite of a Chupacabra from Diablo II… with all your saved games already erased!! May all your characters in SW Galaxies plunge into the Sarlacc! (Since you will have the time: look around to confirm if Bobba Fett is inside or not). After playing your doomed SW game: May all your searches for porn get you only gamorean porn! May the Doom III in your computer be stuck with a Barney mod for all eternity! May the boss monster be your mom! May the dungeon master be your mom! May Cthulhu send you a greeting card saying: thinking of you!!! May **Coldfire** cast you to the kingdom of lost removed threads… Wait… He did that! Many thanks indeed governor!!.. So, spammer: Farewell! You lower than a Furry Star Trek fanfic writer, were you put yourself as a hero, geek!\* -Ed [sub]\*All the curses are mine, Tip to the hat to the Geek hierarchy chart for the farewell.[/sub] ---

I wish to congratulate you on a _fine_ set of curses, sir. I particularly enjoyed **“May the Dungeonmaster be your mother”** 😃 ---

That curse works both if you imagine it in a gaming setting or in a medieval location… I am not sure which one is worse. 😉 ---

Grues? Oh, those dungeon and cave dwellers in Zork! Took me awhile to figure that out, I was mostly a _Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy guy_ Grues? :shrug: now, a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal! That was something! 😃 **Coldfire** : 🆒 ---

\*\*May you have no good luck and I recant the curse! Now may these be upon you until you have purchased me a well drawn Pint! Of Guinness!\*\* —The end of an Irish curse (10% intact, the rest was too violent to post.) Did I mention that I’m Irish? 😉 ---
