What is Bannination?
1.
1. Online news aggregate site where users can submit articles and compose humorous headlines to accompany them. Community-moderated. Permits NSFW entries that would cause submitters to be banned elsewhere, thus the name.
2. Destination for mass-exodus from heavy-handed moderators at Fark.
I submitted a NSFW photoshop contest to banniNation. Entries are due in two days.

A collection of users banned from Fark (usually for being mindless trolls and blatantly abusing the terms of service) created a website where they could discuss (read "sandbox fight about") abortion, creationism, politics and Drew Curtis' alignment with Satan repeatedly on a daily, and often bi-daily basis. Most stories submitted and "front paged" appeared on sites not frequented by a 90% double-digit IQ audience such as Fark, Slashdot, and Digg days, and even weeks earlier. The low number of users means that submission requires a low number of votes to be "front paged" , therefore a submitter only need to e-mail a few friends asking for them to "vote up" their submission, therefore exposing the submission to a much larger audience of possibly 50 people (if it's raining in Alabama) . Users of bN have been known to create websites devoted to exposing the "fraud" and "conspiracy" behind Fark, one going as far as to state that Fark had been purchased by a large media corporation, and that this was being covered up by Drew Curtis, then owner and creator of Fark. This statement was debunked when the source was proven to be hilariously fake.
As an addendum, not one user of banniNation will admit to being permanently banned from Fark. They all quit of their own free will. They also have a habit of attempting to skew criticism by voting negatively on opposing views on the website slangdefine.
To conclude, banniNation is much like The Shawshank Redemption, but with more anal rape.
"Let's go to the beach and kick sand in the faces of the bannination users. No wait, they're already doing that themselves. Let's get some ice cream."
