LamdaMOO is a text-based online community that began in 1990. Developed by Pavel Curtis at Xerox PARC, at the height of its use LambdaMOO had nearly 10,000 active users. Seen as a type of social experiment by Curtis, the community was largely ungoverned after 1992 until the infamous Cyber-rape of 1993, which was publicly described in Julian Dibble's article, "A Rape in Cyberspace" (published in the Village Voice)
