"Netiquette" is a perfectly cromulent word.
It goes back at least to the days of Usenet, well before Sir Tim Berners-Lee even thought of the Web.

Requesting that there be no further elaboration of this thought.
I actually got a PM from someone who wanted to say that but was sure it would be inappropriate to post it.
Anyway, if you propose a liaison between two ships, isn't that shipping?

I'm not saying it's not or that it's new, it just irks me for some reason. It's weird, I enjoy some portmanteaus, and others just bug me.

If we were permitted I'd totally hook up the Hannershuttle with the Star Trek 2009 Enterprise. I'm sure Hannershuttle would LOVE to get his hands on her ample nacelles if you know what I mean and I thinkUSER HAS BEEN ULTRA-BANNED. AND MURDERED WITH FIRE.

I don't get it...did it used to refer to tennis or basketball (or any sport involving nets?)

No, just referring to the Internet - but that went back way before the Worldwide Web emerged as one of its key applications. I was already using the Internet - email, usenet, ftp, archie (yes!) - before the first publicly available browsers appeared (they were Mosaic and Cello).
