Trolls in this category are those intended to be offensive, or those which take the reader to potentially offensive sites. A popular technique amongst Slashdot trolls is to post links to "shock sites" in order to annoy and offend other readers by tricking them into following the links. This is often accomplished by posting the link under the guise of being another link to the article or a rebuttal to the article. A variation on this theme is for a troll to accuse a legitimate link or comment as being a link or reference to a shock sit ...

List of shock sites - Goatse.cx. Main article: Goatse.cx Goatse.cx is one of the most well-known shock sites, and perhaps the most infamous. The image which appears on the site's index, hello.jpg, depicts a man stretching his anus with his hands. While that specific site was taken down by the NIC .cx authority in January 2004, Goat.cx and Hick.org/goat/ became used instead of the original location. Goat.cx now only displays an image of a pumpkin carved to resemble h ...

As with many things MindVox-related, the name of the software MindVox ran on, was both a play on words and an elaborate inside-joke. Voice: Waffle ][+ the NeXTSTEP (usually referred to simply as Voice, although it frequently was referred to by the plural Voices as well), was the name given to MindVox's conferencing system [29]. Waffle refers to the original software that MindVox was based on [30], the ][+ pays homage to Kroupa and Fancher's hacker past and the use of Apple II computers; NeXTSTEP was a reference to the NeXT platform and operat ...

Trolls that don't fall into the other three categories are idiosyncratic, and their existence is a result of an inside joke related to the workings of Slashdot culture or history or of geek culture itself.

MindVox began to fall apart around 1996, when it ceased operating as an ISP, and shut off dial-up access. While the exact date of the shutdown is disputed, the New York Times lists the closure as occurring in July of that year [50]. Ironically enough this happened a few months after New York Magazine voted MindVox as one of the three best ISP's in New York [51]. A public message [52] noted that free telnet access to the MindVox servers would still be available after the shutdown, but this did not last. Users were given the option to transfer their accounts to company Interport Communications, b ...

MindVox was deeply connected to the emerging non-academic hacker culture and ideas about the potentials of cyberspace, as can be seen in Patrick Kroupa's essay, Voices in my Head, MindVox: The Overture [17], [18], [19], which announced the upcoming opening of MindVox [20], and crossed the line into shaping an entire culture's mythology, seeing publication in magazines such as Wired [21], and extensive coverage throughout the media [22]. Voices provided a compelling and sweeping first-person overview of the cultural forces that were at play in the hacker underground during the decade that pre-dated MindVox, consi ...

During 2000 a variety of MindVox pieces went back online [60], at phantom.com and additional material was released by MindVox to textfiles.com. By 2001 Kroupa was back in the public eye and openly acknowledged being a lifelong heroin addict, who had finally kicked heroin and cocaine through the use of the hallucinogenic drug ibogaine [61]. In 2005, MindVox was featured in two documentary films. Bruce Fancher is interviewed in BBS: The Documentary [62], [63], and Patrick Kroupa plays ...
