The Gay Nigger Association of America, also known as the GNAA, is a self-aggrandizing Internet troll organization that primarily targets Internet communities in an effort to disrupt their normal activities and annoy their users. Members have flooded weblogs, produced shock sites, prank-called technical support telephone lines, and flooded, mass-invited, and trolled IRC chat rooms. As a consequence, the communities that are attacked treat GNAA members as nuisances and frequently respond with technological and social anti-trolling measures (such as comment moderation) to limit future disruption caused by trolling.

This freenet sounds like something the immoral pedophiles at 4chan would be using 24/7.

Wouldn't be surprised if that is true, I have read that last time 95% of their donations came from those who frequented their child porn drawings area.

Worse than Fark, huh? How about (and NEITHER OF THESE LINKS ARE WORKSAFE) 4chan's /b/ and /f/ boards? 3 weeks of /b/ is more than enough to reduce one's brain to mush.

The RIAA is the America what SA is to 4chan.

"" IS PRETTY FUCKING "", JUST FYI!

I asked this question on Tom's Hardware, but they suggested I ask here instead.

I just bought a new IMac, but I have no idea how to use the OS. Here's a screenshot where I have triangulated the areas with the problems.

Thank you.

Is that "moot" as in "arguable or open to debate", "of no significance or relevance", or "a ring for gauging wooden pins"?

No "moot" as in the guy who runs 4chan.org.

Let's see how well it is able to handle this image :)

The results will be very interesing, does anyone know how long it is until 'night'?

4chan.org is the same thing... but in english

What's up with the GNAA, it seems as if you've been holding a low profile nowadays. You need fresh recruits, some GNAA crapflooding and a good dose of 4chan(might sadly enough be down).

That reminds me of this picture: (warning, contains a GNU/Penguin) http://img.4chan.org/d/src/1083071497264.jpg
