A collection of users banned from
Fark.com (usually for being mindless trolls and blatantly abusing the terms of service) created a website where they could discuss (read "sandbox fight about")
abortion, creationism,
politics and Drew Curtis' alignment with Satan repeatedly on a daily, and often bi-daily basis. Most stories submitted and "front paged" appeared on sites not frequented by a 90% double-digit IQ audience such as
Fark.com, Slashdot.org, and Digg.com days, and even weeks earlier. The
low number of users means that submission requires a low number of votes to be "front paged" , therefore a submitter only need to e-mail a few friends asking for them to "vote up" their submission, therefore exposing the submission to a much larger audience of possibly 50 people (if it's raining in
Alabama) . Users of bN have been known to create websites devoted to exposing the "fraud" and "conspiracy" behind
Fark.com, one going as far as to state that
Fark.com had been purchased by a large media corporation, and that this was being covered up by Drew Curtis, then owner and creator of
Fark.com. This statement was debunked when the source was proven to be hilariously fake.
As an addendum, not one user of banniNation will admit to being permanently banned from
Fark.com. They all quit of their own free will. They also have a habit of attempting to skew criticism by voting negatively on opposing views on the website urbandictionary.com.
To conclude, banniNation is much like The Shawshank Redemption, but with more anal
rape.
