A formerly brillant site which has now spiralled into a sad pile of crappy Mary-Sues, pointless, restrictive rules, and endless server problems. Nevertheless, it still seems to have a monopoly on about 99% of fanfic writers on the Internet, though you have to trawl through a heap of Sueage to get to anything decent.
Fanfiction.net annoyingly bans, among other things: stories in script-form, stories in second-person (or "you-fics"), fics involving real people, and anything they deem "interactive", up to and including responding to readers' questions. As a member of the PPC once declared of scriptform: "If it was good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for fanfiction."
It also doesn't support many punctuation marks, such as *, <, >, , , and /, despite several of these being vital to certain fandoms, for example as the <> "thought-speech" speech marks in the Animorphs fandom. It also removes any links or email addresses in stories.
The site furthers its bad reputation by randomly banning a lot of really good stories for absolutely no reason. Its reporting system also doesn't seem to be regulated, as it can and has happened that one person has reported another's story because of a grudge rather than the story having anything wrong with it, resulting in the story's unfair deletion.
Fanfiction.net is popularly known as "the Pit of Voles", or just the Pit. Have you ever heard the saying that a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters would eventually produce the works of Shakespeare? Well, if that's true, then common wisdom is that whatever's writing the stories on ff.net can't be monkeys.

Evil giant ape resident in the area of NCsoft servers, this monstrosity blocks all access to the game servers when "too many" people want to play. The ape takes pleasure in knowing little children are crying because they cannot play. When small groups spread out over different servers, it is possible to sneak by, but in large numbers, net cong kills all new connections. The best time to get past him is when he's distracted by people leaving, or when it's sleeping(when most of the world is also sleeping)
"Net cong is blocking my access!"
"I wish Net cong would die and burn"
"NCsoft has to make more servers damnit! Net Cong is blockign all of them!"

Similar to cock blocking,it's what an ugly dude does when he knows he'll never score the hot chick he's standing next to or sitting next to in a bar. But he won't leave his seat or spot if his life depended on it. Therefore, preventing anyone else from getting close to her.
" I was really digging that chick sittting at the corner of the bar last night,but some net hanger wouldn't let me get in close with her."
