Gleemax is also the name of the website launched in June 2007 by Wizards of the Coast. It started as a viral marketing campaign involving plastic brains. Randy Buehler later revealed the website would grow into a social networking site similar to MySpace or Facebook, but specifically for gamers.
However on July 28 2008, it was officially announced that it would be shut down allegedly so the company could focus on other online projects, although critics consider that it was due to lack of interest from the gamers, which it failed to enthrall. Since October 1 2008 it redirects to Wizard of the Coast's homepage.
Trivia
Gleemax was the subject of the Ask Wizards question on November 11, 2003.
