Cameron Johnson, author of the critically acclaimed The Runouw.com Connection, has created another story about the beloved members of Runouw.com, Legacy. Years ago, a simple matter of the wrong button being pressed caused a massive spambot invasion and conquer of Runouw.com. Most of the Elders are executed while the remaining members are enslaved. However, one member, marioiscool254, escaped, and started to form an underground group of rebels who called themselves "The Revolution," whose mission was to free their enslaved friends and take back Runouw.com.
Years later, progress has been slow but steady. The Revolution has grown in size, and morale is high. It seems that the Revolution is getting ever closer to reclaiming Runouw.com until tragedy unexpectedly strikes - marioiscool is found dead, killed by an arrow belonging to the Revolution. Now it is up to Elders Buffooner and Chau, Commander Alucard, Lieutenant Parawar, and new recruits Dark Yoshi and Highwire to lead the Revolution in its last stand against the spambots while also unmasking the traitor amongst them.
Critical praise has been nearly unanimous, with Usuario calling it, "[Cameron's] best work," and MICrophone adding, "Excellently written, very intriguing…this could possibly be the best story on the forums." Even Ridder has enjoyed it, giving a very detailed review stating, "Yo da man." So prolific has it been that even before completion it has inspired numerous spoofs.
