The correct term is: 
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Eternal September or the September that never ended[1] is Usenet slang for a
period beginning in September 1993,[2][3] the month that Internet service
provider America Online (AOL) began offering Usenet access to its many users,
overwhelming the existing culture for online forums. 

Before then, Usenet was largely restricted to colleges, universities, and
other research institutions. Every September, a large number of incoming
freshmen would acquire access to Usenet for the first time, taking time to
become accustomed to Usenet's standards of conduct and "netiquette". After a
month or so, these new users would either learn to comply with the networks'
social norms or tire of using the service.
