Really good quesiton, Vanessa!
I couldn't resist a little investigation of my own.
Dictionary.com pointed to Acronym.com, which provided this very clear explanation:
What does FARK stand for? Your search returned 3 meanings:
FARK Färentunas Attack Rollspels Klubb
FARK Forcat e Armatosura të Republikës së Kosovës (Albanian: Armed Forces of Republic of Kosovo)
FARK Forces Armées Royales Khmères (Cambodia, Royal Khmer Armed Force)
Not quite satisfied, I followed the "alternative searches for FARK" link. I came up blank.
Continuing on my usual tack, I typed "FARK" into my favorite search engine
www.queryserver.com/web.htm. There was a huge variety of hits, some of which are highlighted below:
http://www.screamingmidget.com/mt/fark.html suggested this:
In the land of Farkistan (conveniently located at
www.fark.com), citizens of the Internet pursue the timeless and tasteless art of photoshop contests -- corrupting photographs with the mental muck dredged up by their inner cannibal._ An overused image or gag can transcend the activity itself and become a time-honored, unstoppable, and sometimes loathed cliché._
If you want to know more, there is a quiz for you there.
Of course,
http://www.fark.com/farq/index.shtml the FARK FARQ is likely your best source of information. If you are really feeling daring, I suppose you could just ask in the forum.
http://fpc.zekemacneil.com/index.shtml Describes itself as "Fark Party Central," but, much like
http://www.fark.com doesn't bother to define itself up front.
For the hardcore terbites,
http://www.corporatemofo.com/stories/farkpartyinfo3.htm who have appointed themselves "The Mother of all FARK Parties" does include porn watching as a main event at their functions.
http://fark.meetup.com/ , a subdomain of fark.com, counting down the days until the "International Fark Meetup" offer one of the best explanations I was able to find: "Meetup with other local Farkers for asinine, obvious, spiffy and stupid conversation. "
http://www.flakmag.com/features/fark.html suggests, in its review of the "History of Fark" that it is best defined as an online magazine, but this really seems a bit mundane, for me.
Finally, for those of you still struggling with this question, I can only suggest that, perhaps, some reflective moments at
http://www.subgenius.com might shed some light on the subject.
If that doesn't do it for you, I would guess that nothing will.
FARK ON!
