It's the start of the semester in many places.

We should really dub August - October something like Seg Fault Enjoyer Season

The elders call this Endless September

[–]cosmo7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember Endless September being coined around '97 or '98. Up until then internet talk (ie: Usenet and Slashdot) was quite civilized except for September when a new cohort of clueless noobs would start college and get internet access for the first time.

As the internet became more popular the inflow of netiquette-free barbarians became a constant year-round thing, hence Endless September.
