Article of the Now

Meow Wars

The Meow Wars were epic Usenet battles that took place back in the mid 1990s that gave rise to trolling/flaming culture on the Internet. Largely fueled from a flag of unfettered freedom of speech, those who once called themselves Meowers once spammed the whole of the Internet to a grinding halt by shelling out "meow" messages on such a grand scale it wound up drowning hundreds of networks in feline fuckwittery.

The Meow Wars were the first large scale viral social action unleashed upon the Internet, long before Habbo Hotel invasions and 4Chan raiding parties, the collective Meow Army reigned supreme across dozens of newsgroups, from alt.flame to alt.usenet.kooks to their original war prize alt.fan.karl.malden.nose, back during an era when the concept of "banning" didn't even exist. At best users could police their own feeds with filters or "plonk files", but it did little good against the sand pooper party cats who name shifted and slang posted their way around such counter-measures.

Welcome Back To The Days Of The Internet When Free Speech Actually Mattered

Quote of the Now

We at DinoCon take the safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff very seriously. As a result of the release of half of the Epstein files, it has come to light that a select number of scientists, authors, and researchers relevant to the field of palaeontology allegedly engaged in correspondence with members of the Epstein organisation after the conviction of Jeffrey Epstein. We want to state that all respective individuals are banned from all of our events.
Additionally, we find it deplorable that some established palaeontological organisations are not taking firm action to protect their members in light of these allegations. As such, executive committee members from organisations that are not issuing public bans to these individuals are also banned from our events. We do not tolerate those who allow this behaviour to go unchallenged within our community.
