Prehistoric times: Birth of usenet.
During the 70's, the Internet was previously intended for the use of the American army, with a few universities generally use for research. That would change in a few months when two students created the Usenet, originally created for the posting of news, but that was soon to become one of the first forums on the internet.
During those golden days of the 80's, college nerds could post about porn furry Chip & Dale, start flamewars on the continuity of transformers and exchange information about how their new Amiga computers such power machines that could store up to TWO megabytes of memory ! Wow!
REMEMBER REMEMBER THE ETERNAL SEPTEMBER
September was considered a bad month for usenet users because of how the new semester of classes begin, new students accessed the then-restricted internet and start posting in the forums, without knowledge of social rules and netiquette used by veterans. Beginners however, usually ended up being assimilated after a few days, leaving the "n00bice" turning aside and exemplary citizens.
In 1993 however, something happened. America Online, the largest server time, opened access to the usenet. What was once a restricted community in which proto-lulz formed and discussions at the level of romantic arcadia became a bubble of pure cancer when children and illiterate 13-year no custom that used a computer for the first time in his life came in the forums discussion as the Mongol hordes attacking the Chinese fields.
A user has correctly predicted that the flow would be unmanageable and interminable.
The Internet would never be the same.
