Forget about the economic crisis. Did you know that Scrabulous, the Scrabble-based online game, has been shut down? Hasbro, the company that owns the Scrabble copyright or trademark or whatever it’s called, didn’t like that fact that a couple of enterprising brothers from India were making lots of money in advertising revenue from the free online scrabble-like games. So Hasbro tried to buy them out, then sued them.

But never fear, the Scrab— Online Universe has not collapsed. It looks as if Scrabulous has moved to Lexulous.com, and my old password and user name work at the new site.
