SKINNAD (DENNIS)

AND IDEALS

Forumverse is an AU on the meme in which the political parties are reimagined as competing web forums. The focus is largely on MarxismRulz (MRz.co.uk), the Labour forum, which is administrated by Hurpdurp. Their rival forum is ToryGlory.org, led by BigOnlineSociety.

The verse began with the Labour Leadership contest being translated into a student squabble over administration of a forum, and has grown to include a large cast of regular characters, all of whom have very distinctive personalities. Particularly notable and popular is SKINNAD, a loud, elderly troll who can only type in caps lock and appears in almost every discussion.
