I Got /danked in 2005

One unfortunate person on the World of Warcraft forums inadvertently created a new word on Wednesday. That word is "to dank" (Urban Dictionary entry here). IPYM picked up on this today, Friday, on said forums. As of this writing, the thread is 35 pages long.
Danks posted a compliment to Blizzard praising them for their good work on the new PvP system. He then posted a second comment praising the original one. The catch: he forgot to switch alts for the second. He then endured 35 pages of ridicule, a dictionary entry in his honor, and three mentions of the slip-up in various blogs so far.
Edit: God, I love the internet. There are now two t-shirts on sale at Zazzle commemorating this event.
