Once you register, you can spend hours exploring the quizzes and games (warning: it's addictive). You will also receive daily trivia questions with a count of points you have earned (I finally made it to Level 2). Even if that's all you do (it takes only a few minutes), it's worth it for the fun you'll have. This site is certainly one of the oases on the Net, which can sometimes look like a vast wasteland cluttered with commercialism and garbage.

P.S. to all: Much as I avoid advertising, I've added a Sploofus link on the home page (scroll ALL the way to the bottom).

P.S. to all: I originally said that Sploofus is ad-free. It is not, but the advertising is minimal. If you want ad-free access, you'll need to pay a $14.95 fee for six months. You won't want to do that unless you become a really serious Sploofer.

Mudge, is this underlined sentence, "a direct link to the site appears at the bottom of my home page," in the first post of this thread supposed to take the reader to the home page? It doesn't.

I'm continuing to have fun with Sploofus. Though I'm resisting (with varying success) the temptation to become an addict, I finally succumbed to the lure of Sploofus and paid to become a "Gold" member for six months so that I can play unlimited word games, not just one a week. I get some other benefits, but I haven't figured out exactly what they are.

Also, there's a "poem" Rainbow Bridge:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

P.S. Bradd received an Editor's Award for his newest Sploofus trivia quiz.

Rainbow Bridge is only a few miles north of the Utah-Arizona state line. It is near Lake Powell, northeast of Page, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation.

Arches National Park is about 150 northeast of Rainbow Bridge. I have been to Arches several times. It is one of my favorite places. It is easily accessible.

Rainbow Bridge is a bit hard to reach. It is most easily reached by boat from Lake Powell. You used to be able to get there by offroad vehicle through the reservation. You might need to have an official guide if you want to drive there now.

I have photos of Arches on one of my websites.

I found this forum while searching for things about Sploofus. I have been a Sploofus player for a couple of years.
