alt.humor.best-of-usenet

The best-of-Usenet compilation group.

alt.humor.best-of-usenet was the moderated showcase where the funniest genuine posts from across Usenet were reposted with attribution — a curated highlight reel of the medium at its best, run by volunteer moderators for years.

Its companion FAQ lived on faqs.org, which still links this address; the group is one of the better time capsules of what Usenet found funny about itself.
