They've been around since the early days of the internet, slightly younger than the Darwin awards. You're one of today's lucky 10,000. :)

They used to get a lot more attention, even mentioned in a lot of main stream media. Not sure why, but I don't recall hearing much about them even on "nerd" sites in many years. I just occasionally think to look up and see what's won.
