The result: Kept. After all, wikis are also part of the internet. Also, toxins are also toxic (that's where their name comes from), but we have an article about them, too. (non-admin closure) Alfa-ketosav (talk) 19:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

_Delete_ per WP:Creep. The Internet is a mess filled with spam, trackers,
hackers etc. The Internet was a mistake from the very beginning. Whatever, Y2k
is gonna kill it sooner or later.

Just return to Usenet instead. It is the better worldwide network anyway :)
Usenet has greater cultural influence and many slang terms come from Usenet:
sockpuppet, FAQ, spam etc. And there are no cookies on Usenet. After all, today
is September 11171st, 1993 :D
