Back in the day... well, a good few months ago the forums were ripe with spoof after spoof - some even winning the gameaday prize. However now it seems there havent been any for ages - I've looked through the backlog and havent seen any! Have people stopped writing them?

Also, has Drunk Cow left the forums? He used to write more spoofs than anyone and more often than not they were funny.

Anyway the question needs to be asked, are spoofs dead, or just hibernating?

Hibernating... Although they might come back with the slight chance of best post of the day winning GAD 2. Unlikely though.

The problem with spoofs was this: they weren't in the least bit funny.

Agreed. I'm rather hoping they're gone for good.

spoofs where good in the days of spamhard and mystiqe the vampire slayer but now most of the good ideas are gone so its harder to write a good one.

Yes, but they could be bloody irritating.

It's because of the lack of good movies and such lately.
