    Gay Nigger Association of America -- January 16, 2004, 19:36PM GMT

    The GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) is a trolling organisation, tirelessly working in all areas of research and development to carry out assertive actions and produce new technologies. Our flagship production thus far has been FloodMT, software designed to crapflood Movable Type blogs. This is an important strategic anti-blogging weapon and as such we deemed it imperative that it be hosted reliably and in the public eye.

    We chose to host our project on Sourceforge. Sourceforge is a site owned by OSDN which hosts open source projects of almost any nature. Having witnessed the registration of many useless projects on Sourceforge, we felt that their hosting of FloodMT would be acceptable. They deemed it so, approving our project within 24 hours of submission.

    The GNAA finished uploading its materials and produced a complete website, all of which were kept up to date as development progressed rapidly. Then without warning, on January 15, all of the project's files were erased. The website, floodmt.sourceforge.net, was taken down and all of our CVS and file releases were lost. The same occurred for the Sourceforge project shitstorm, and all of the developers of FloodMT had their Sourceforge users deleted and access revoked.

    This is considered by us an offensive action. As such, we declare a jihad on OSDN. At 8PM GMT this evening until further notice, all OSDN owned websites, subsidiaries, employees and administrators will be considered viable targets for attack by us. These targets include Slashdot, Sourceforge and Freshmeat though others may be assaulted.

    You can bet your butt that nobody on that board of directors has ever had trouble growing enough food to feed their families.

    Maybe at least they'll become obsessed with harassing the GloFish people instead of somebody doing something really productive.

    GM foods, or stop having kids, these are your choices. Welcome to the future suckers.

    Sometimes I stick a glowing purple thing down my GF's throat... and sometimes she smells a little 'fishy'... that's kindof the same isn't it?
