Players will find they can no longer connect to Scrabulous.com. I had to do a little searching, but I found a message saying Scrabulous.com is "taking a coffee break". I found a news story from earlier today saying the India court said the Scrabulous developers, the Agarwala brothers, can keep a web site and the game as it is, but they cannot use the name Scrabulous or any other form of the word Scrabble. So they are probably busy changing their name on the web site. Scrabulous addicts can use Wordscraper on Facebook - another game by the same developers. It's entirely customizable and you can set up the board, letter distribution and values to be the same as Scrabble. But they are still missing the blank tiles, which they promise will be coming soon. Once you get used to the different look of the board, Wordscraper is just as wonderful as our good old Scrabulous.
I still do not recommend Hasbro's Scrabble on Facebook. It's buggy, slow, and lacks too many features. Bekkieann http://bekkiesbooks.blogspot.com ACUTALLY SCRABULOUS IS BEING REBORN - www.lexulous.com The high court decision in India said the game called scrabble can not be trademarked, copyrighted etc - only the name is copyrighted. therefore the makers of scrabulous are working extremely hard to get the exact same game up and running - just different name. As of Monday you should have full functionality restored at www.lexulous.com Yippee!!!
to lexulous.com! yeah!
No. Acronyms should be illegal plays.
Well, the word "scrabble" means to struggle or to scratch at. "Scrabble" is a word game where you lay tiles to make words and score points. "Frabble" is/was what some people call the Facebook version of Scrabble, although I think the official name was Scrabulous. Here are some links to the controversy over the game: http://definiteassertions.blogspot.com/2008/01/frabble-facebook-scrabble-under.html http://kotaku.com/346015/facebook-asked-to-pull-scrabble-game
Scattergories is a game wherein a player has to name objects from a given category, beginning with a certain letter rolled on a multi-sided dice. It can be played as a board game, or downloaded as an app to mobile phones and tablets.
Facebook is a social networking service and website launched in February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.[1] As of January 2012, Facebook has more than 800 million active users.[6] Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to help students get to know each other. Facebook allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13 years old to become registered users of the site.[7]Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow studentsEduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The Web site's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in theBoston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over. However, based on ConsumersReports.org in May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts, violating the site's terms of service.[9]A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly active users.[10] Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"[11] Quantcast estimates Facebook has 138.9 million monthly unique U.S. visitors in May 2011.[12] According to Social Media Today, in April 2010 an estimated 41.6% of the U.S. population had a Facebook account.[13] Nevertheless, Facebook's market growth started to stall in some regions, with the site losing 7 million active users in the United States and Canada in May 2011.[14]Thanks E-Mail me @ madicorey@aol.com.com for Questions or comments. =)
