When We Were Young and Petty

This is one of the better stories of early internet fandom I've run across:

that little part of fandom died, killed by an overabundance of albinos. it now lives on only in my heart and in my fond memories of the stupidest fandom slapfight i've ever been party to, the end
 

The most interesting large-scale wank I witnessed personally (aside from the Sherlock penis troll) involved Snapesnogger on DeviantArt. I feel like I should write up that mess one of these days, if only to chronicle what it was like back when DeviantArt was still a thing that people did.
