FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE...
The Earth is under attack.
The demon lord B'harne, servant of the malevolent alien High Magus of Lyra, has commenced his assault on the human race. Under the benevolent guise of the children's television host Barney the Dinosaur, B'harne seeks to destroy the minds of children and adults and bind them to his tyrranical will. Once he has made mindless slaves of humanity, B'harne will rule the Earth with an iron talon.
There are those who oppose B'harne. Drawn together by mysterious forces, mad scientists and sorcerors, warriors, scholars and surrealists have banded together into a fighting force capable of standing against B'harne's power and the power of his masters. With the mystic blade of the Barney-Slayer leading the way, these warriors fight a neverending battle against the forces of Evil and Stupidity.
They are the Jihad to Destroy Barney the Purple Dinosaur.
Welcome once again to Jihad.Net, the home of the Jihad to Destroy Barney the Purple Dinosaur. This is the fourth revision of the page since it first went live back in the early 1990s. In the past, this was a portal to other Jihad pages. These days, Jihad.Net serves as an archive for the fiction created in the Jihad's existence both on the Web and in our birthplace, the Usenet group alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die. For over a decade we've been an established internet running gag, and we're all very proud of our accomplishments.
So please, come on in and enjoy your stay.

The Jihad To Destroy Barney proudly presents the first story in the Jihad Universe 3.0 cycle.
On An Uneventful Morn tells the story of the sudden withdrawl of B'harne's forces from Earth in 1999, and the end of the Jihad as we knew it. Featuring cameos by almost everybody who ever was considered a character in the Jihad Universe.
This is the first part of an extended series, and picks up again with Calm Before, the first story in Jihad Universe 3.0: The Return of Owsen, set five years later.
A plaintext version of the Jihad Universe RPG is also now available on the Roleplaying page.
"Can you hear me now?"
Welcome to a minor revision of the Jihad to Destroy Barney's homepage.
We've moved from the fairly static front page to a system based on the all-powerful Movable Type blog engine. This way we can provide nice and simple and clean updates, news, and whatnot without having to upload silly-ass amounts of code every damn day.
No, you don't have to worry. We will not be using this space as a blog under any circumstances. The sole reason we changed over was to ensure that we could provide visitors with information about changes to the page instead of burying the changes elsewhere on the site.
Comments, suggestions and slander about the changes are welcome at our message board.
