What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2004
A comedy site with feature articles, edited pictures, media reviews and a large forum, which began as a personal website.
Gizmodo put it among the 100 websites that shaped the internet in 2018. Its forum spread memes such as 'all your base are belong to us', and image macros began there.
In 2004: Forum users, helped by Fark's, raised over $20,000 for body armour and care packages for 31 soldiers, after a member was sent to Iraq.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
