Parts of "Jollyroger.com" (http://jollyroger.com), a commercial site that supports a complex of pages variously named "Kill Devil Hill," "Western Canon University," "Hatteras Campfire," "Federalist Navy," etc. claiming devotion to "the classics," "conserving great literature and the great outdoors," and other such causes. These can include both bulletin boards and chatrooms. The Hardy part of "Kill Devil Hill's" The World's Largest Literary Cafe consists of a bulletin board to which are posted student inquiries ("i need help on Hardy as a narrator!!!--Luke") and critical comments from such sources as "The Freelance Abortionist"--e.g., "GODDAnNIT! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tess was the victim of noone but herself." Similarly, the Thomas Hardy " Lecture Hall of "Western Canon University" and the Thomas Hardy " Hatteras Campfire of "The Hatteras Lighthouse" consist almost entirely of pleas by students for help with school assignments, occasionally interspersed with puerile comments.
COMMENT:
These sites are of no scholarly worth, but may be of interest to someone studying student use and abuse of the Internet for completing rudimentary class work.
