1* BannedInChina: The site is partially blocked in Indonesia (depending on which internet service provider you are using) and ''completely'' blocked in Malaysia, due to protests by [[MoralGuardian helicopter moms]] in those countries.
2* FollowTheLeader: While it might not have been the first fanfiction website, it is definitely the most well known, FF.Net's popularity leading to sites like Platform/{{Wattpad}} (2006) and Platform/ArchiveOfOurOwn (2008), the latter of which was created in response to the site's purging of [=MSTs=] and {{Lemon Fic}}s.
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The robots.txt that the site used to use didn't allow for the Wayback Machine to hold onto a copy of any fics, so the only way to keep a deleted fic would either to save a copy (typically in [=HTML=] format) or to know the author of the fic in question. There was a way around that, but FFN caught onto that, too.[[note]]There were times where fics could be saved through the web-crawlers but those really came to an end when Fanfiction.Net, after a [=DDoS=] attack, switched to Cloudflare.[[/note]]
