David Mikkelson used the username "snopes" (the name of a family of often unpleasant people in the works of William Faulkner) in the Usenet newsgroup alt.folklore.urban.〔See Michele Tepper, "Usenet Communities and the Cultural Politics of Information" in David Porter, ed., Culture (1997) at 48 ("()he two most notorious trollers in AFU, Ted Frank and snopes, are also two of the most consistent posters of serious research.").〕 The Mikkelsons created the Snopes site in 1995,〔 and later worked on the site full-time.〔〔
A television pilot based on the site, called ''Snopes: Urban Legends'', was completed with American actor Jim Davidson as host, but major networks passed on the project.〔
