The ghost who ambles.
I remember reading about a web-based game, in which you fought web pages. Apparently the content, layout etc of a website generated a monster, which you could fight, loot and so forth. I read that it was taken down because it became too popular for the owner to maintain, and because people were custom-crafting web pages in order to get good loot etc.

I searched recently, and was unable to even find an article referencing this game, let alone the name or any details of the game itself.

If anyone can remember and knows what I'm talking about, I'd bet it would be someone here!

ForumWarz?

Hmm, no that's not it, although thanks for reminding me of it!

It was specifically designed to generate content based on properties of other web pages. For example, you could plug google.com into it, and get a different monster than if you entered yahoo.com.

I'm beginning to think I dreamt up the whole concept.

It was called Unweb, and it was awesome. Here's a post-mortem by its designer.

I'd given up on finding this. Thanks so much!
