| abstract | - The Gay Nigger Association of America, (more commonly known by the acronym GNAA) are a tightly-knit group of anti-blogging trolls who take their name from the 1992 Danish movie Gayniggers from Outer Space responsible for many high profile internet trolls, as well as software products and security releases. The group maintains a wiki-based site dedicated to commenting on notable Internet events and parodying Slashdot posts, as well as offering a git-based repository known as "Trollforge" for GNAA coding projects. Members engage in such activities as flooding weblogs, producing shock sites, prank-calling technical support telephone lines, protesting, IRC channel disruption, Proof of concept demonstrations, and even trolling CNN. These actions have occasionally interrupted the normal operation of popular websites such as Slashdot, even forcing some websites to shut down temporarily. As such, targeted communities generally consider GNAA crapfloods to be a serious matter and frequently respond with technological and social anti-trolling measures such as moderation systems to limit future disruption. Despite the name, which according to new media researcher Andrew Lih caused immediate alarm in anyone with a semblance of good taste, the group claims that it promotes neither racism nor homophobia. Its aim is to sow disruption on the Internet. Lih has noted on the groups activities within Wikipedia, claiming that by adhering to every rule, they can use the system against itself.
