Lurkmore
Lurkmore or Lurkomorye (Russian: Луркоморье, a portmanteau of Lukomorye and the English online slang "lurk moar") was an informal Russian-language MediaWiki-powered online encyclopedia, based on the English-wiki website lurkmore.com, focusing on Internet subcultures, folklore, and memes. It was one of the most popular humor and internet meme-related websites of the Russian internet.
As of February 24, 2022 (the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine), the website's content is no longer available, with only a black screen covering all its pages. Recently, the phrase "остановите войну", which translates to "stop the war" in Russian, written in blue and yellow (the colours of Ukraine's national flag), was added to the top of the black screen.
Most content from the old Lurkmore site has been reuploaded at the new site neolurk.org.[citation needed]
Lurkmore was started as a knowledge base of Internet memes centered on 2ch.ru, the first popular Russian-language imageboard. With time, the project evolved to encompass the broader Runet subculture. It has been called an "informal encyclopedia" about everything. Currently, Lurkmore comprises a wide range of articles, but a considerable share of them are still about Russian internet culture.
Lurkmore articles use a distinctive style, distinguishing themselves with a general informality, semiseriousness, sarcasm, the free use of foul language, and impudence, as well as by sharp criticism of the shortcomings of the considered phenomena. The articles are also characterized by a specific slang—"lurkoyaz" (луркояз)—consisting of Internet slang, assorted words used by padonki and Kashchenists, and Lurkmore's own neologisms.
The entire text of the Lurkmore policies page read as follows:
Our rules are very simple and comprehensible.
A remarkable feature of the project is the concealment of IP addresses of anonymous participants in the editing history of articles for all users except administrators. The inscription of "Anonimus" is displayed instead of an IP address. The registered participants having a flag of the autoconfirmed participant also have an opportunity to leave any editing not under the name, and anonymously.
