Well, This Isn’t Confusing At All
Let’s see, you have lumthemad.net which used to be some ranty blog or another, and is NOT lumthemad.com, which features a blonde woman reading a newspaper and a link to stories about the female libido, and MOST DEFINITELY not lumthemad.org which is another site entirely, and it points to brokentoys.org, which is not brokentoys.com, or even brokentoys.co.uk, which has a picture of a baby. Mind you it’s quite a nice baby, but has nothing to do with this site. lumthemad.net, that is. lumthemad.com points to a domain collector and lumthemad.org is, as mentioned, another site entirely.
And now, thanks to Massively, I see there’s a new site at lumethemad.com. Which seems to be quite a nice blog and is actually sort of relevantly about MMOs, but come on, people. Right now I seem to own 2% of the web domains relating to my own jolly pirate nickname, and it’s dwindling.
It’s a good thing no one uses URLs any more and just stabs random words into Google. This last week people found my blog via the following search phrases:
toys of killers
whores of warcraft
my life console
whores of warcraft miarose
rape games
jonathan yantis
i see what you did there
In related news, the Internet is now closed. Please go find some air or sun or something. I plan on playing Diablo 2 all weekend, myself. Let’s see if I can get up to 20 summoned skeletons!


I always do my best to get credited with my jolly pirate nickname. All my code’s labelled “Mox” and two published titles have my nom de guerre in the credits.
This is along the lines of “whitehouse.com.” Hit inflation through typo!
You keep getting searches for “Rape Games”. Is there something you’re not telling us, Scott?
Yep, according to google, you’re still at the top of the list:
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=hot+gay+elf+porn
I want to play Diablo 2, also. But I left my play disk in New Jersey.
Just doing my part to add to the confusion!
You know, lumtehmad.com is available. FTW!
That sounds like my search term. Though 1 year ago i made a post about nudity in AOC. And now 1/2 my search terms are people looking for Age of Conan nudity
I want to play Diablo 2 as well, but I don’t know if I can handle 640×480 interpolated to 1280×1024.
I see what you did there.
1 Point in Skeletons. Wait until Revive.
Friends don’t let friends Gimp characters.
You mean 800×600! It was updated in the expansion! ;-P
just to add to your problems, ICANN has approved new domain names : http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/business/AP-TEC-New-Internet-Names.html?_r=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&oref=slogin
So now you can also create .lumthemad and .brokentoys
Revive’s probably is that the risen monsters only last 3 minutes.
I’m all about the full Skeletons. They don’t randomly die on you after a few minutes, and with Skeleton Mastery, they’re actually pretty tough.
Thanks for the clarification. All this time I just thought you enjoyed posting on a variety of domains in Prokneva fashion, and that your hobby was photographing blondes reading newspapers.
Playing Diablo 2 all weekend is definitely advisable. I will be doing the same thing.
Some PR fluff about Diablo 3 last week made me want to go back and play Diablo 2, so I did, and found it just as addictive and satisfying as it was eight years ago. I think that as games go, it has aged well. Starcraft is another Blizzard title that has aged particularly well. I think it is because they put so much effort into polish and quality, that Diablo 2 can still hold its ground against nearly any modern game.
@Merkwurdigliebe: With the 1.12 patch, you no longer need the disk in the drive to play Diablo 2 (or the expansion, Lord of Destruction). So when you get your disks back, install it and patch it and then just leave it on your hard drive until Diablo 3 comes out (at least).
I can’t play D2 anymore without the synergy patch. You’ll never see more than a dozen skeletons at best, but they’re a LOT tougher and more manageable. On top of that, the token mud golem plus the decrepid (i think) curse makes for rediculously easy boss fights.
become either more madder or lummer — it’s up to you
But he’s already the Lummiest!
My friends and I are playing d2 again also. We’re using this mod: http://homepage3.nifty.com/miyoshino/es/es3top.htm to make it different.
For your non-native english speaking readers you can get madthelum.net, themadlum.net, and thelummad.net. Although you might as go with your target audience and get rapegames.net
Whores of Warcraft and Rape Games.
Yeah, that seems about right.
Actually, it is quite amusing to check out some of the random and bazaar searches that can lead people to your website. Also, yes, it is lucky that URLs are out of fashion these days.
I feel no guilt at all. You want lumthemad.org, ask.
THIS is why McCain hates us!
I know it was the rape games that initially drew me to this site.
Should it really be surprising that a name that is lifted from the 1e DMG is not only used by you though?
Meanwhile, in a dark, underground vault in Hasbro, teams of lawyers doing an IP sweep find that when they bought WotC they inherited the properties of TSR, among which is a campaign setting called Greyhawk, which includes a “machine of Lum the mad”.
It may be your nickname, but it was someone else’s first.

Oh, sure. I’m certainly not sending out cease and desists or anything similarly silly. If anything I find the whole domain dance funny. And, as always, an excuse to post “rape games” search terms in my blog, thus making them self-fulfilling prophecies!
The problem with mass skeletons is when they clog up your path and you can’t get past them to where you need to be without backtracking continually to clear up the blockages. If only necros had teleport!
