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.

Background information
The group originated on the Slashdot website. It claims to consist of six leaders and approximately 30 to 40 other members. GNAA first appeared in January 2003, trolling Slashdot using ASCII art logos representing the organization and satirical news releases pertaining to the contents of Slashdot articles. They also have their own IRC server, which is connected to "NiggerNET" reachable by irc.gnaa.us. The main GNAA channel is #gnaa.
The GNAA website states: "We do not support and do not promote racism, homophobia, etc." [1] (http://www.gnaa.us/about.phtml)
[edit]
Membership
GNAA encourages people to join by watching the 1992 Danish low-budget movie Gayniggers From Outer Space, from which their name derives. The GNAA's entry requirements also include successfully achieving a "first post" on Slashdot consisting of GNAA Internet troll text, or registering support by upwardly moderating GNAA comments. A test on the subject matter in Gayniggers From Outer Space is then administered by an IRC bot.
The GNAA has a signature which their members use whenever they perform a crapflood or post a news release. The full "sig", which includes an embedded ASCII art picture of the letters "GNAA" on a wall, can be found on their website. It begins:
GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the first organization which gathers GAY NIGGERS
from all over America and abroad for one common goal - being GAY NIGGERS.

Activities
GNAA gained notoriety in the Slashdot community when they launched several flood attacks against the site. [3] (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=100374&thresh old=-1) [4] (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=100381&thresh old=-1) Slashdot subsequently implemented open proxy-banning measures in its posting system; GNAA members claim that their crapflooding campaign spurred this change. They registered thousands of usernames en masse to mark Slashdot editor "michael" as their foe. [5] (http://slashdot.org/~michael/freaks)
During May 2004, GNAA members flooded the popular image board 4chan, contributing to the fourth non-permanent shutdown of the site shortly thereafter. In the list of reasons why it closed down, the administrator wrote: "Flooding. GNAA put the final nail in the coffin, however I am thankful that they willingly ceased the flood after finding out it was costing me money."

They also have their own IRC server, which is connected to "NiggerNET" reachable by irc.gnaa.us. The main GNAA channel is #gnaa. The GNAA website states: "We do not support and do not promote racism, homophobia, etc." [1] (http://www.gnaa.us/about.phtml) [edit] Membership GNAA encourages people to join by watching the 1992 Danish low-budget movie Gayniggers From Outer Space, from which their name derives. The GNAA's entry requirements also include successfully achieving a "first post" on Slashdot consisting of GNAA Internet troll text, or registering support by upwardly moderating GNAA comments. A test on the subject matter in Gayniggers From Outer Space is then administered by an IRC bot. The GNAA has a signature which their members use whenever they perform a crapflood or post a news release. The full "sig", which includes an embedded ASCII art picture of the letters "GNAA" on a wall, can be found on their website.

They registered thousands of usernames en masse to mark Slashdot editor "michael" as their foe. [5] (http://slashdot.org/~michael/freaks) During May 2004, GNAA members flooded the popular image board 4chan, contributing to the fourth non-permanent shutdown of the site shortly thereafter. In the list of reasons why it closed down, the administrator wrote: "Flooding. GNAA put the final nail in the coffin, however I am thankful that they willingly ceased the flood after finding out it was costing me money." [6] (http://www.4chan.org/index3.php) However, a poster on the Something Awful Forums later stated that this was only one of several factors that caused them to be shut down: "It was not the GNAA who killed 4chan (I quite like them actually), or really the moronic users, it was a man named Chris, who goes by the name TheRowan and runs a business that shuts y
