september that never ended
(jargon) | September that never ended
All time since September 1993. One of the seasonal rhythms of the Usenet
used to be the annual September influx of clueless newbies who, lacking any
sense of netiquette, made a general nuisance of themselves. This
coincided with people starting college, getting their first internet
accounts, and plunging in without bothering to learn what was acceptable.
These relatively small drafts of newbies could be assimilated within a few
months. But in September 1993, AOL users became able to post to Usenet,
nearly overwhelming the old-timers' capacity to acculturate them; to those
who nostalgically recall the period before, this triggered an inexorable
decline in the quality of discussions on newsgroups. Syn. eternal September
. See also AOL!.
