Trolltalk is a hidden trollgnaw of the World Wide Web news discussion forum Slashdot, where Slashdot trolls converse amongst themselves, often demonstrating new trolling techniques and paradigms, bragging about successful posts and gnawing away at each other by creative insults.

Troll organisations

Periodically, individual trolls will come together and form organised groups. They will usually post common variations of popular Slashdot trolls with their organisation's name attached in some way. While somewhat uncommon, these organisations can become quite famous among Slashdot regulars; the most prominent of these being the Cabal of Logged in Trolls (or 'CLIT'), the 'GNAA' or "Gay Nigger Association of America" (the name taken from an obscure film) and 'Trollkore'. The various groups often fight it out in a battle of slander and competition to achieve first post.

Meta Publication

The Journal of user "TrollBack" (in an allusion to "slashback") contains a review of all of the trolling behavior over the past time period (usually month).
