The <i>really</i> impressive thing is how many forum-based spinoffs and homages have been produced, many not in English. Something about Paint just ... speaks to people. I think MS Paint Adventures

And then, because I'm a masochist, I made a flash version of it: http://eitheror.smerwin.com/ It sucks on a slow connection and it still breaks sometimes for no apparent reason, but people seemed to enjoy it.
