Lolwut

From KolymaPEDIA
Jump to navigationJump to search

lolwut is the owner of lolwut.info, described as "a 2000s entertainment database".

Lolwut was perhaps most well known for his popular page, "The Internet is Serious Business", which is also the sites motto. His comments on the phrase resonate well with the userbase of KolymaNET and Heyuri, and some pages on his website are considered "suggested reading".

He switched off of neocities to KolymaNET Hosting in 2021, where he still resides today.

In August of 2021, it was called into question whether lolwut was a threat to the informational security of the Kolyma Network shortly after it was discovered that the #lolwut IRC channel had been used to attack the KolymaNET. After deliberating, the NSS Executive Committee decided to block discussion of lolwut.info, lolwut, or the #lolwut IRC channel on KolymaBBS and the KolymaNET IRC Network. He was also forbidden from using the mail service typically provided with KolymaNET hosting, due to worries of it being used maliciously. His membership to the Kolyma Network was removed from temporary suspension, and the penalties were put in place.

In September of 2021, the restrictions were lifted.
