The Gay Nigger Association of America (abbreviated GNAA) is a troll organization that primarily targets Internet communities in an effort to cause havoc and disrupt their normal activities. Although it is termed "Association of America", the organization claims to have members from all over the world.

Members engage in such activities as flooding weblogs, producing shock sites, prank-calling technical support telephone lines, and IRC channel disruption such as IRC floods. These actions have occasionally interrupted the normal operation of popular websites such as slashdot.org, even forcing some websites to shut down temporarily. As such, targeted communities generally consider GNAA members a nuisance and frequently respond with technological and social anti-trolling measures such as moderation systems to limit future disruption.

History

The GNAA first appeared in January 2003, trolling Slashdot using ASCII art logos representing the organization and satirical news releases pertaining to the contents of Slashdot articles. As with other troll organizations, members of the GNAA adopt pseudonyms to preserve their anonymity and their true identities are generally not known. While its number of members are unknown, the GNAA has listed members "timecop" as the founder and President and "jesuitx" as a co-founder and Vice President.

The GNAA's website features pictures of black athletes and professionals that appear to originate from stock image archives in an apparent attempt to parody the designs of various corporate websites. It states that the GNAA does not either support or promote racism, homophobia, or other kinds of hatred. While their main motivations are difficult to determine, they claim to have targeted websites and blogs that promote "anti Gaynigger and pro-Zionist propaganda".

GNAA members Rucas and Armorfist created a shock site called Last Measure, which the GNAA often links or redirects to in their various activities. In order to automate their activities, the GNAA has created many programmatic scripts for uses such as crapflooding sites. The source code of these scripts are usually made available under the revised BSD license. One such script is ASIAN, The Automated Synchronous IRC Abuse Network, a clone of a popular IRC flooding tool called AYSYN (Are you stupid? Yes/No) by mef. It was created by members Rucas and abez due to the many bugs found in AYSYN and the lack of source code. It uses SOCKS proxies and Tor to connect numerous drones to an IRC server and use them to flood various people and channels. Most importantly, GNAA sucks all of the members of myg0ts cock. fucking gay niggers. lefty was here.

Membership

GNAA encourages people to join by suggesting that potential recruits watch the 1992 Danish low-budget film Gayniggers From Outer Space, from which their name derives. The GNAA's entry requirements also include successfully achieving a "first post" on Slashdot consisting of GNAA troll text or registering support by upward moderation of GNAA comments. A test on the subject matter in Gayniggers From Outer Space is then administered by an IRC bot.

GNAA ASCII signature


The GNAA has a signature block which their members use whenever they perform a crapflood or post a news release. The full "sig", which includes an embedded ASCII art picture depicting the letters "GNAA" on a wall, can be found on their website. It begins:

"GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the first organization which gathers GAY NIGGERS from all over America and abroad for one common goal - being GAY NIGGERS.
  • Are you GAY?
  • Are you a NIGGER?
  • Are you a GAY NIGGER?
If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!"

All the members of the GNAA act anonymously, though some pseudonyms have become known. One of the most oft-mentioned members in the GNAA is "Gary Niger", a play on the words "Gay Nigger". Gary, a fictional character coined by GNAA vice-president jesuitx, is cited as a press contact in most press releases the GNAA releases, and also frequently appears as the name in their trolling activities. Another member, "rolloffle", also known as "James A.C. Joyce", who has since left the GNAA, participated in many trolling incidents and created many scripts to cause problems for various software programs that are used in internet forums. "Rolloffle" was also the author of the article "Why your Movable Type blog must die", which was published on the website Kuro5hin. GNAA member "Rucas" is the lead developer of GNAA Last Measure and until recently hosted the largest Last Measure mirror at peoplesprimary.com. He has recently released latvianbotnet.pl, a Perl script to crapflood IRC channels. GNAA member "l0de" is the head technician and host of his Internet radio show, the l0de Radio Hour, popular with GNAA members, other internet trolls, and a small number of New Orleans residents.
