What is Eternal September?

Eternal September is a cultural phenomenon that began around September 1993, when Internet service providers began offering Usenet access to many new users. Prior to this, the only sudden changes in the volume of new users of Usenet occurred each September, when cohorts of university students would gain access to it for the first time. Early Usenet hobbyists coined the constant influx of new users that began in September 1993 to be an "Endless September."
