I was a redditor pre Eternal September. That was the beginning of the end for old reddit.
The point of Eternal September is that it happens all the time, so when was that?
Kind of - it doesn't happen "all" the time; it has a beginning, but no end.
If you consider it's the influx of new users, then yes, it does happen all the time. Do you have a different definition?
What's "eternal" in "Eternal September" is not the influx of new users, but rather the disruption of the social norms caused by a huge and sudden influx of new users.
That disruption started in 1993, and never ended. So it had a beginning but no end as of yet.
