Forumwarz

A browser-based parody RPG that calls itself "the Internet...in game form," Forumwarz employs a combination of crude humor, widely overused internet tropes and thinly veiled caricatures of cyberculture mainstays to create a game that can only be described as "unique." You play a typical internet user who earns money, gifts and street credibility by destroying fake forums.

The style of humor and rampant meme abuse will be instantly recognizable to anyone who spends time in unmoderated forums. Written in Ruby on Rails, it includes its own fake instant messaging client, stores, forums, email, etc. Free to sign up and play.
