Status Update: Argh. Scrabulous. Is Gone.

A cry of woe went up from Facebook users today with the suspension of Scrabulous, the Scrabble knock-off that had created a huge following -- except among executives at Hasbro, which sued the site last week. As word spread that the game, run by two brothers in India, had been disabled on Facebook (though available still on its own site), Facebook users vented their frustrations, grief, anger, and, in at least one case, happiness (likely a recovering addict) via Status Updates. Here, a sampling:
