Online scrabble has disadvantages. Too easy to cheat, but the biggest problem is that anytime you do something spectacular people think you're cheating and leave. Which is sad, and Idiocratic -- it encourages mediocrity; never a good evolutionary mechanism.

I tried online bridge for a while to keep up with my conventions and stuff in between family vacations but if you don't know your partner's bidding style and can't announce weak twos and so on it really isn't the same game.
