Geoid Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Scrabulous has been suspended! Due to legal action being taken out by Hasbro. But Lucky its only for users in the US and Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm a massive fan Fred, we may have played! Looks like as Mattel own the rights for Scrabble in the UK they may take similar action with the guys in India and force FB to remove the UK app as Mattel are working on an online version of Scrabble that users will have to pay for. Why is this world full of rich spoilsports who make tons of money already and are just plain greedy? Grrrrrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Oh no! I need my scrabulous fix (even if I do forget to play occasionally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Oh dear, that sounds like a real pity. I've got to admit that I've never got into Scrabulous though, I don't log onto FB often enough to play it successfully. I like Bubble Words though, have whiled away far too much time trying to beat my own (not very high) high score on there . These games are just toooo addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 This is a real shame I do hope they don't suspend UK users, I will get bad withdrawals Maybe the problem is with the word 'Scrabulous' because there is a similar game which has been running on Yahoo Games for years, called Wordox and they have never had this problem.

BarbaraJ Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 oh i found the proper scrabble on there, much more fun as i like the board game amd find it hard to find people to play with in the real word lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 My Scrabulous application has disappeared this evening. No warning and I had 2 games going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 NOOOOOOOOOO It's gone now And I was SOOOOO close to RevNev (well only 100 points behind!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Its gone - gutted. Have added ordinary scrabble but already i don't like it as much.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Gina's invited me to that, but I can't make it work at all. Other people can't either. It's something to do with me being on the new-style facebook and the application doesn't work with it. Stupid Scrabble! They really should have prepared better than this. Scrabulous worked all right. I shall really miss my Scrabble games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Its rubbish - doesn't let me play with my friend in the US for one thing. You can't see when people are online so you don't know whether to wait around to make your next move or not, theres a setting which means you have to play your next move in maximum a week (so no good if you're going on holiday for 2 weeks) and its just to 'busy' looking compared to scrabulous. Still, guess its better then nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I just went on to play and the whole thing has gone .... 8 games vanished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfrock Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 tried to load scrabble (against my better judgement ) and all I can get is a blank green screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiepoppies Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Never got to Scrabulous....probably just as well. BUT Kate in NZ, you have a lit of today to answer for Found Bubble words after reading your post at 11 something this morning. Have now just returned to the forum I hold you entirely responsible for the lack of dusting or anything else remotely like housework today [Looking at/talking to chooks not counted ] Thanks Jackiex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
