HFW (aitch-eff-dubblyew) /n/ Short for Hell Flame Wars. A group of self styled flamers who had a mission of taking over newsgroups. After congregating in alt.evil, they decided to lay down a full frontal assault on rec.org.mensa and alt.flame. After being fairly ignored by the mensans, they concentrated on alt.flame and alt.fan.karl-malden.nose (and all subsidiary groups therein).
The original lineup of HFW was:
Gareth Gee/Robinhood Invictus/Gabe Thomas J. Harden/Gilbert T. Sullivan PAZUZU
Upon entering alt.flame, they found themselves beaten about soundly, as Gareth, the "ringleader" was unable to do more than post poorly spelled versions of "wanker" several hindred times daily, and e-mail various alt.flame posters with whatever information he found using finger.
Ultimately, PAZUZU left, ralizing that he had joined a bunch off slack-jawed yokels who could never even hope to muster a post worth reading. About this time, HFW retained the services of Dr. Know-it-All, who joined out of otherwise mindedness, rather than the contagious cretinism inherent in the HFW, and Roger Wiseman (Raven) who enjoyed threatening alt.flame posters credit histories, families, etc.
Soon, Roger was spanked from the net, Invictus lost interest, and DKIA was becoming rather skeptical. After HFW recruited Big Daddy "Zues" from alt.flame.niggers, DKIA bid his goodbye and the HFW was down to three posters who were, as told in fairy tales, each more boring than the last. [1]
As these three found themselves beaten to a pulp, they fixated upon a group known as alt.life.sucks, frequented by a good number of a.f/afk-mn regulars. The als flood, orchestrated By Gareth Gee resulted in Nemo of als calling Gareth at home asking him to stop. When he continued, his employer was phoned (Gareth posted from his work account). He was fired on the spot.
[Bear with me, I'm almost done.]
As such Big Daddy "Zues" (Dimas Nava) became the new leader of the HFW, since Tom Harden was busy making his Gilbert T. Sullivan 'bot even less intelligent. BDZ promply recruited Tim (Dr. Doom) Thorne into his retinue because, well, they needed anybody they could get.
At this point the HFW was issued a UIP (Usenet Ignore Penalty) by alt.flame, leaving them without responses for weeks. After the UIP was lifted, the semi-coherent members of HFW attempted to rally themselves, but instead found themselves near death.
One last volley still had them on the other side of the alt.flame drawbridge and, after Harden and BDZ had a falling out, they were left with Yet Another Really Stupid Option.
They grabbed a HipCrime bot and began flooding groups left and right, while trying to troll nan-a posters into responding to spurious net abuse complaints.
Today, the HFW joins Cypher, FyRE and the other HipClones in flooding newsgroups because they.....well....because they have no other talents short of constructing nicknames for themselves which *reek* of pubescent insecurity.
[1] The HFW also attempted to claim John Prophet Retard, Bill Palmer, James Koput and James G. Keegan for awhile. -- "Yes, I am what some would call a retarded person"
