Sorry. Couldn't resist. posted by slimepuppy at 3:40 AM on January 5, 2006
Hasn't this been done before? posted by Frasermoo at 3:46 AM on January 5, 2006
That is so cool. Metafilter rox! room two. posted by Dag Maggot at 3:46 AM on January 5, 2006
Surprisingly fun indeed! I enjoyed just thwarting people who were trying to write dirty words (though, one guy just wrote "I pity the fool"... now that is quality! posted by antifuse at 4:08 AM on January 5, 2006
Superb! Especially satisfying when someone figures out what you're trying to write and helps gather the letters. posted by Captain Najork at 4:20 AM on January 5, 2006
Alright, fess up. Who was involved in the mass fight to keep the word 'metafilter' untouched in room 2? posted by Serial Killer Slumber Party at 4:23 AM on January 5, 2006
When I click on the English button, all I get is "You are not authorized to view this page". Perhaps it doesn't approve of South African IP numbers. posted by Goofyy at 4:30 AM on January 5, 2006

didn't you get bored with it when it was "letters"?
just a rip off... posted by HuronBob at 4:32 AM on January 5, 2006
I managed to spell "penis" in all 4 rooms. posted by zardoz at 4:37 AM on January 5, 2006
And from letters, there's Scratchpad, what I was picturing before clicking on the link. posted by bigmike at 4:54 AM on January 5, 2006

Wasn't there something like this around ages ago, using fridge-magnet letter styled icons? Ah yes... posted by benzo8 at 5:08 AM on January 5, 2006
Fun. Started putting unused letters in order and the whole room joined and everything was put in order.
Easier to spell stuff, that way. posted by Goofyy at 5:34 AM on January 5, 2006
Cool. I made"Metafilter!" just now, and someone dragged a celebraory question mark over it, as if it were an interrobang.

This was pretty funny although I must say I don't understand the people who seem to be dragging around letters without trying to write something.
Also, why was "DRINK PEPSI BLUE" dismantled so quickly!? :-) posted by sveskemus at 6:24 AM on January 5, 2006
this was awesome.
there was a mass brawl in room 1 right now. it's got the most people, and we were fighting to get the letters in the bottom right quadrant as people were fighting to get them elsewhere. good times! posted by taumeson at 6:24 AM on January 5, 2006
Well, it's fun for a while, but the person who insists on making sure the word "c*nt" in various forms (including "c*ntsoup," ewww) is always there is kind of annoying. posted by jennaratrix at 7:12 AM on January 5, 2006
I don't know. C*nt soup brought to my mind the fable of stone soup, except even more funny... a traveller went to a village hungry, and he offered to make his host some c*unt soup. "All I need is a c*unt, he began..." posted by katiecat at 7:28 AM on January 5, 2006
It's got rude because it's appeared on Popbitch. They're all in the German rooms now if you want to see full on filthy letters. posted by ciderwoman at 8:02 AM on January 5, 2006
If you start dragging letters into one big unreadable pile then eventually it turns into a pilers-vs-unpilers match which is much more fun than actually making words! posted by dickasso at 8:06 AM on January 5, 2006
Scrabble deathmatch. Cool. posted by StarForce5 at 8:15 AM on January 5, 2006
I hate these things...if I'm going to spend my time creating something I want to not have to fight some doofus trying to spell 'motherfucker'.
Of course, I think I was born without the competition gene. posted by Kickstart70 at 8:27 AM on January 5, 2006

This was great last year - and I mean that in the least facetious way. Now its back, and if I didn't have to go to work I'd play. I hope in the future the entire internet is fridge magnets and neo-nazi epithets... and one guy or maybe twenty who can't stop spelling "KOREA," what the hell?
Try drawing pictures with the letters. My friend and I took over a fridge and made everyone work together to draw a kitty. posted by BlackLeotardFront at 12:02 PM on January 5, 2006
This is great fun - I started out trying to be constructive, spelling out cool phrases, thwarting people trying to swear etc, but after 5 minutes my latent sense of destruction emerged and I just disrupted everyone else. Sad how quickly the veneer of civilisation disintegrates... great post though. posted by greycap at 12:05 PM on January 5, 2006
Justinian is my new best friend. I wish I had thought of that posted by allen.spaulding at 1:38 PM on January 5, 2006
I screwed it up, of course. It should be MR PIBB + RED VINES = CRAZY DELICIOUS. Bad me, no biscuit. posted by Justinian at 2:11 PM on January 5, 2006
I just realized that this isn't flash, nor is it Java. It appears to be friggin' AJAX, which is very impressive given the way it performs. posted by George_Spiggott at 6:29 PM on January 5, 2006
