I agree with Shachar.
If you MUST MUST MUST forward jokes via the Internet and earn their "Cool
Internet Server Scout" merit badge points, like some people new to the
Internet seem to need to earn, please do so by forwarding the jokes to
personal friends (like some of my friends do, until they grow out of it,
and I learned to accept this process).

There is no IGLU Cabal. Before founding The Great New IGLU Cabal, the
activists need first to acquire the ego boost from earning "Cool Internet
Server Scout" merit badge points. And this process takes some time.
