  Meow Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Another Meower, or at least a willing co-conspirator of the Meowers, was Grillo the Clown, who insisted that his epic-length crosspostings of obscene surrealist rants were not only performance art, but that they were protected by Grillo's right to free speech.
In yet another series of incidents attributed to Meowers (or, at least, to parties claiming to be such), floods of forged control messages (special articles that are used to control news servers) caused the creation of hundreds of oddly-named newsgroups to appear at many locations.
While the original Meowers, for the most part, moved on to other things (including, in some cases, network administration) or left Usenet altogether, imitators have perpetuated similar posting activity as late as 2004, albeit on a smaller scale.

The original Meowers were denizens of alt.tv.beavis-n-butthead who responded to the January 9, 1996 "invasion"[1] (http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=msgid%3A%3C4curm4%24r1%40decaxp.harvard.edu) staged by Harvard students from alt.fan.karl-malden.nose.

It is understandable why the Meowers would want to claim this affair as the entirety of their history for several reasons.
It was the closest that the Meowers had ever come to being justified for taking over a newsgroup, and it was the only time that they defeated organisms higher on the food chain than themselves.
And while the "History" page claims that the Meowers have become a scapegoat for other Usenet abuses, its main purpose seems to be establishing the Harvard students as a scapegoat for the Meowers' Usenet abuse.

It also spawned a loosely knit community of "Usenet Performance Artists" calling themselves the Meowers.
But by this time the Harvard students had abandoned alt.fan.karl-malden.nose, which remains Meower "property" to this day.

The "meowers" or a copycat group of them target a number of other newsgroups, including soc.culture.israel, soc.culture.african-american, and, most famously, alt.games.final-fantasy.
Grubor is now referring to himself as the head of something called "meowforce," but by this time the relevance of "meowers" to the politics of USENET is fading.

The meowers are far more powerful than the usual trolls, in that they can be self-sustaining, but in the end, if they're not fed, they'll go find someone else.
I've not a great deal of experience with the meowers (one mailing list I'm on was an early target of hte meowers, and has thus moved lock, stock, and barrel to a controlled format; I've also been on the other side, where the meowers invaded a wrestling group that was trying to take over alt.config).
