"Worms" is itself a clone: Scorched Earth so a worms clone would be a scorched earth clone clone. :)
I had an idea for a sort of RTS game where the units- a bat/cat-like race- are evolved/mutated in various ways to adjust their stats and specializations.
It doesn't look like the intent was to deny service. just a side-effect of another goal; penetrate the site's security, scrape the data, spam with ads, computational mining, etc.
Regardless, Botanic stopped them, but please do keep a lookout for other strange behavior in case they return.
Looks like that was set to an Admin-only option. Spammers were probably abusing it to get their submissions past review, then reverting it to an ad for counterfeit purses or something.
I never mind helping with this kind of thing, though. :)
What submission did you want to revert and to which date? If you'd rather, you can PM me, too.
Haha! Perhaps the whole game and indeed the very discussion of the game is all DLC.
Historically, the only video games more retro than atari were games on the Magnavox Odyssey and VideoSport systems. Although the first game released by atari was pong, pong existed before atari did and was released by other manufacturers first. In that case, is pong more retro than atari or is it exactly as retro? Never-the-less, I'm skeptical of the claim in the title, but also curious.
Assuming no explanation is forthcoming regarding the blank post, I'll have to remove this thread soon.
@dalonedrau: Is this based on the original LPC base? Why is it only CC-BY-SA and not also GPL like most of the other LPC assets? It is acceptable to only adopt one of the licenses if that is your wish, but it would be a shame to lose out on the full spectrum of licenses for no reason.

Good call. Took a few days to see where the issue was coming from. Botanic tracked down the culprits and cut them off.
Congratulations and well done! :D

It's already on the list of site improvements we're considering. :)
Number 6, specifically. In the meantime, searching the existing art categories for the "font" or "fonts" tag has some excellent results.
