  B1FF - Encyclopedia Dramatica
During the early 80s, B1FF was a young 13-year-old boy who posted on usenet using his brother's VIC-10.
It was later revealed that B1FF was created by and based on a text filter written by Joe Talmadge (all see flame wars).
What started at the dawn of the internets as a simple amusement became the template of netspeak used by script kiddies, h4X0rs, and wArEz d00dz, proving yet again that jokes can indeed be taken too far -- until they are jokes no more.

  B1FF - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B1FF or BIFF was the most famous pseudonym and the prototypical newbie on Usenet.
Articles from BIFF were characterised by all uppercase letters sprinkled liberally with bangs, typos, "cute" misspellings, use (and often misuse) of fragments of chat abbreviations, a long signature block, sometimes even a doubled sig (signature), and unbounded naïveté.

 start me up!: December 2005
Once upon a time, when Usenet was young, there was an anonymous (and many people think "pseudo," meaning in this case "intentionally not serious") article-writer named B1FF.
Some say that B1FF was a 13-year-old boy; others say he was a seasoned Internet veteran masquerading as a newbie.
But writers who know their stuff will often cite B1FF as a precursor to the kind of informal Internet-based conversations held today, especially by teens and college students, in chat rooms and on message boards all over the world, and within AIM and Yahoo Messenger.

The BITNET hosts are a collection of IBM dinosaurs and VAXen (the latter with lobotomized comm hardware) that communicate using 80-character EBCDIC card images (see eighty-column mind); thus, they tend to mangle the headers and text of third-party traffic from the rest of the ASCII/ RFC-822 world with annoying regularity.
BITNET was also notorious as the apparent home of B1FF.
