}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
/r/OkBuddyRetard is predominantly a subreddit created by [[Kirbizia]] and now owned and run by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout it&#039;s history, it&#039;s had five servers: OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial subreddit, and discord server in the sphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in membercount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The previous server (OKBR4) was put down by the subreddit&#039;s staff on the 7th of April 2022, and it truly seemed that a fifth entry of the OkBR servers wouldn’t be made anytime soon. However, on the 21st of April 2023 there was a sudden [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/12upthd/introducing_the_newer_and_better_okbr_discord/ announcement] about a brand new OkBR server and thus, OKBR 5 was born on this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Subreddit ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Subreddit ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OkbrOriginal.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot; posted by [[Kirbizia]] at the point of creating the subreddit]]&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and the origin of it&#039;s name, was an image referred to as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okbr was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, early in the subreddit&#039;s life, it&#039;s current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a form of post-post-irony where a meme is re-contextualized as a response to the general boredom and apathy that it seems a lot of the kinds of people who browse have developed for popular meme culture. No other subs really encompass this in the same way, all of them having their own sub-cultures. This board (tries) to avoid that. Every post is different (even if there are occasionally some running themes which honestly I think it&#039;d be best to avoid)|[[Lemonade1947]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He went on to say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|I think it&#039;s really about this sub&#039;s rejection of even the most &amp;quot;edgy&amp;quot; meme cultures. It&#039;s lack of a specific culture is what defines it. The joyful irony here is that it&#039;s only possible for the sub to reject this culture -because- they have a deep understanding of it.|[[Lemonade1947]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ownership changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after the subreddit was created, [[Kirbizia]] was replaced by [[GrantVsZombies]] as the owner of the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[GrantVsZombies#Grant&#039;s Ownership Change and OkBR Drama with Kirbizia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Lemonade1947#Drama with Kirbizia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a year later in 2019, [[Lemonade1947]] was made co-owner, and they share this role 50/50.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Lemonade1947#Promotion to co-owner]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pewdiepie apocalypse of 2020 ===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10th 2020, the then most subscribed to youtuber &amp;quot;Pewdiepie&amp;quot; created a video showcasing the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kzMyW9TCXp0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this video, he acknowledges the problems that this video would create, yet makes the video anyway. He states that&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a subreddit that I willingly haven&#039;t touched because I know as soon as I review this subreddit everyone that goes on it&#039;s gonna be like &amp;quot;Oh pewdiepie reviewed that it&#039;s not funny anymore everyone knows about it now.&amp;quot; haha. Yeah well I&#039;m here to ruin it for everyone. You&#039;re welcome. Don&#039;t care. Another reason I didn&#039;t want to read this subreddit is because this subreddit just bombarded with ironic memes and that&#039;s literally it.|PewDiePie}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the sub was closed to new submissions for a week, in which [[Lemonade1947]] continuously posted updates talking about the growth of users. The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bizarrely, this was reported on by an Indian news website. This news site reported on the story almost entirely inaccurately, stating that OKBR was for &amp;quot;offensive memes&amp;quot; and misinterpreting [[Lemonade1947]]&#039;s tweets about the situation. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/gaming/pewdiepie-okbuddyretard-video.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current day ===&lt;br /&gt;
These days, the sub is not credited with the same sense of new and uniqueness it once was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the subreddit grew more popular, and it&#039;s culture became more mainstream, many smaller subs have been created. It can be widely observed that these smaller subs are now where the innovation happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Discord Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Discord Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first Discord server, created in the few months following the creation of the subreddit, is known for inspiring the creation of many now very popular offshoot servers, such as [[Dogelore|Dogelore 1]], [[Whenthe]], and many more. It was made by active members of the r/BoneHurtingJuice Discord, including [[Kirbizia]]. Unfortunately, OkBR1 was nuked in December of 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, [[LunarShadows]] created a new server. This server, also known as &amp;quot;OkBR2&amp;quot;, is now known as whenthe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, after the [[Okbr2 Subreddit Split|OkBR2 splitoff]], and it eventually becoming Whenthe, OkBR3 was created. This server also led to the creation of [[Irony Hub]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, drama ensued, and OkBR3 was nuked, bringing OkBR4 to life. OkBR4 paled in comparison to any of the previous servers, and its activity and community represented a fraction of its former glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR&#039;s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

}}[[Lemonade1947]] currently co-owns the r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] subreddit along with [[GrantVsZombies]]. While he is a member of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] discord server, and has moderation privileges, he is not active here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Application to join OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] applied to be a moderator of the subreddit on 06/09/2018&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His application was accepted, and he became a moderator a little while later. He has been involved with the subreddit ever since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drama with [[Kirbizia]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] credits himself with much of the early development of okbr, although these claims are disputed by [[Kirbizia]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He claims that he... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the rules of the subreddit, claiming that he created the [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/b1zh7j/okbuddyretard_rules_dos_donts_and_discord_link/ first ever rule post]&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which the mods would vote to ban memes from the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which it would be decided which memes to ban. This was later publicly [https://www.reddit.com/r/okmetaretard/comments/dc8zl6/please_discuss_the_meme_graph_this_is_how_we_try/ outlined here in this r/okmetaretard post, and the comments below it]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Created OkBuddyRetards strict rules on posts about politics and soapboxing, which he goes into more detail about in [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/bv5fr5/a_word_on_politics_and_controversial_topics/ this okbr mod sticky]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general drama that happened involving [[Kirbizia]]&#039;s involvement in okbr is mostly recounted on [[GrantVsZombies]]&#039;s wiki page, as he was the current owner of the subreddit at the time. However it is worth noting that Lemonade adds the following claims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is unable to substantiate these, however, claiming that this is because the original OkBuddyRetard admin server was deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kirbizia]] was jealous that Lemonade&#039;s changes to the subreddit had been received more positively than hers. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] would approve his changes, forget that she had done so, then get mad at him for making them&lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade recounts that [[Kirbizia]] never wanted to ban memes, other than the Thanos Car meme. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] posted self-harm imagery in the OKBR admin discord server at times that she did not agree with him. She claims that he forced her to ban memes, and the backlash caused her to self harm. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that, following this, he convinced her to take a break from reddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these claims can be substantiated, so you will have to make up your own mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Golden Age of /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Kirbizia]] stepped down, Lemonade continued to run the subreddit with a few other mods. With the exception of Grant himself, Lemonade is the only remaining active mod from this time period. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade continued to orchestrate the banning of memes and meme formats, claiming in his own words that it &amp;quot;forced innovation and allowed newly created memes to proliferate out into the wider web once they&#039;d been banned from okbr&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current day /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having recruited many jannies and moderators during his time actively moderating the sub, Lemonade now mostly takes a backseat role. He is rarely seen making announcements or mod comments, but still removes rule breaking posts when he sees them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade is still active in the OkBuddyRetard discord server, and any large subreddit changes or announcements have to be approved by him. He has stated that he &amp;quot;very rarely&amp;quot; overrules any choices that the jannies make, usually allowing them to do as they please, sometimes with minor alterations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Promotion to co-owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade had been [[GrantVsZombies|GrantVsZombies&#039;s]] second in command for about a year before, in late 2019, Lemonade was given the title of co-owner. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His role in managing the server did not change, the only difference being that he no longer had to go to Grant with big subreddit changes, and the two would simply advise each other as equals.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Not long after the subreddit was created, [[Kirbizia]] was replaced by [[GrantVsZombies]] as the owner of the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[GrantVsZombies#Grant&#039;s Ownership Change and OkBR Drama with Kirbizia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Lemonade1947#Drama with Kirbizia]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pewdiepie apocalypse of 2020 ===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10th 2020, the then most subscribed to youtuber &amp;quot;Pewdiepie&amp;quot; created a video showcasing the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kzMyW9TCXp0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this video, he acknowledges the problems that this video would create, yet makes the video anyway. He states that&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a subreddit that I willingly haven&#039;t touched because I know as soon as I review this subreddit everyone that goes on it&#039;s gonna be like &amp;quot;Oh pewdiepie reviewed that it&#039;s not funny anymore everyone knows about it now.&amp;quot; haha. Yeah well I&#039;m here to ruin it for everyone. You&#039;re welcome. Don&#039;t care. Another reason I didn&#039;t want to read this subreddit is because this subreddit just bombarded with ironic memes and that&#039;s literally it.|PewDiePie}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the sub was closed to new submissions for a week, in which [[Lemonade1947]] continuously posted updates talking about the growth of users. The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bizarrely, this was reported on my an Indian news website. This news site reported on the story almost entirely inacurately, stating that OKBR was for &amp;quot;offensive memes&amp;quot; and misinterpreting [[Lemonade1947]]&#039;s tweets about the situation. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/gaming/pewdiepie-okbuddyretard-video.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current day ===&lt;br /&gt;
These days, the sub is not credited with the same sense of new and uniqueness it once was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the subreddit grew more popular, and it&#039;s culture became more mainstream, many smaller subs have been created. It can be widely observed that these smaller subs are now where the innovation happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Discord Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Discord Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first Discord server, created in the few months following the creation of the subreddit, is known for inspiring the creation of many now very popular offshoot servers, such as [[Dogelore|Dogelore 1]], [[Whenthe]], and many more. It was made by active members of the r/BoneHurtingJuice Discord, including [[Kirbizia]]. Unfortunately, OkBR1 was nuked in December of 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, [[LunarShadows]] created a new server. This server, also known as &amp;quot;OkBR2&amp;quot;, is now known as whenthe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, after the [[Okbr2 Subreddit Split|OkBR2 splitoff]], and it eventually becoming Whenthe, OkBR3 was created. This server also led to the creation of [[Irony Hub]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, drama ensued, and OkBR3 was nuked, bringing OkBR4 to life. OkBR4 paled in comparison to any of the previous servers, and its activity and community represented a fraction of its former glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR&#039;s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

}}[[Lemonade1947]] currently co-owns the r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] subreddit. While he is a member of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] discord server, and has moderation privileges, he is not active here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Application to join OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] applied to be a moderator of the subreddit on 06/09/2018&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His application was accepted, and he became a moderator a little while later. He has been involved with the subreddit ever since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drama with [[Kirbizia]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] credits himself with much of the early development of okbr, although these claims are disputed by [[Kirbizia]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He claims that he... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the rules of the subreddit, claiming that he created the [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/b1zh7j/okbuddyretard_rules_dos_donts_and_discord_link/ first ever rule post]&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which the mods would vote to ban memes from the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which it would be decided which memes to ban. This was later publicly [https://www.reddit.com/r/okmetaretard/comments/dc8zl6/please_discuss_the_meme_graph_this_is_how_we_try/ outlined here in this r/okmetaretard post, and the comments below it]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Created OkBuddyRetards strict rules on posts about politics and soapboxing, which he goes into more detail about in [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/bv5fr5/a_word_on_politics_and_controversial_topics/ this okbr mod sticky]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general drama that happened involving [[Kirbizia]]&#039;s involvement in okbr is mostly recounted on [[GrantVsZombies]]&#039;s wiki page, as he was the current owner of the subreddit at the time. However it is worth noting that Lemonade adds the following claims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is unable to substantiate these, however, claiming that this is because the original OkBuddyRetard admin server was deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kirbizia]] was jealous that Lemonade&#039;s changes to the subreddit had been received more positively than hers. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] would approve his changes, forget that she had done so, then get mad at him for making them&lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade recounts that [[Kirbizia]] never wanted to ban memes, other than the Thanos Car meme. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] posted self-harm imagery in the OKBR admin discord server at times that she did not agree with him. She claims that he forced her to ban memes, and the backlash caused her to self harm. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that, following this, he convinced her to take a break from reddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these claims can be substantiated, so you will have to make up your own mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Golden Age of /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Kirbizia]] stepped down, Lemonade continued to run the subreddit with a few other mods. With the exception of Grant himself, Lemonade is the only remaining active mod from this time period. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade continued to orchestrate the banning of memes and meme formats, claiming in his own words that it &amp;quot;forced innovation and allowed newly created memes to proliferate out into the wider web once they&#039;d been banned from okbr&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current day /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having recruited many jannies and moderators during his time actively moderating the sub, Lemonade now mostly takes a backseat role. He is rarely seen making announcements or mod comments, but still removes rule breaking posts when he sees them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade is still active in the OkBuddyRetard discord server, and any large subreddit changes or announcements have to be approved by him. He has stated that he &amp;quot;very rarely&amp;quot; overrules any choices that the jannies make, usually allowing them to do as they please, sometimes with minor alterations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Promotion to co-owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade had been [[GrantVsZombies|GrantVsZombies&#039;s]] second in command for about a year before, in late 2019, Lemonade was given the title of co-owner. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His role in managing the server did not change, the only difference being that he no longer had to go to Grant with big subreddit changes, and the two would simply advise each other as equals.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
/r/OkBuddyRetard is predominantly a subreddit created by [[Kirbizia]] and now owned and run by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout it&#039;s history, it&#039;s had five servers: OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial subreddit, and discord server in the sphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in membercount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The previous server (OKBR4) was put down by the subreddit&#039;s staff on the 7th of April 2022, and it truly seemed that a fifth entry of the OkBR servers wouldn’t be made anytime soon. However, on the 21st of April 2023 there was a sudden [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/12upthd/introducing_the_newer_and_better_okbr_discord/ announcement] about a brand new OkBR server and thus, OKBR 5 was born on this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Subreddit ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Subreddit ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OkbrOriginal.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot; posted by [[Kirbizia]] at the point of creating the subreddit]]&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and the origin of it&#039;s name, was an image referred to as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okbr was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, early in the subreddit&#039;s life, it&#039;s current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
/r/OkBuddyRetard is predominantly a subreddit created by [[Kirbizia]] and now owned and run by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;OkBuddyRetard&#039;&#039;&#039;, the official server of the r/OkBuddyRetard subreddit, what&#039;s considered to be the five server lineup of OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial irony server in the hemisphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in it&#039;s membercount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The previous server (OKBR4) was put down by the subreddit&#039;s staff on the 7th of April 2022, and it truly seemed that a fifth entry of the OkBR servers wouldn’t be made anytime soon. However, on the 21st of April 2023 there was a sudden [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/12upthd/introducing_the_newer_and_better_okbr_discord/ announcement] about a brand new OkBR server and thus, OKBR 5 was born on this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OkBuddyRetard subreddit is currently co-owned by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Subreddit ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Subreddit ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OkbrOriginal.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot; posted by [[Kirbizia]] at the point of creating the subreddit]]&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and the origin of it&#039;s name, was an image referred to as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okbr was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, early in the subreddit&#039;s life, it&#039;s current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a form of post-post-irony where a meme is re-contextualized as a response to the general boredom and apathy that it seems a lot of the kinds of people who browse have developed for popular meme culture. No other subs really encompass this in the same way, all of them having their own sub-cultures. This board (tries) to avoid that. Every post is different (even if there are occasionally some running themes which honestly I think it&#039;d be best to avoid)|[[Lemonade1947]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He went on to say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|I think it&#039;s really about this sub&#039;s rejection of even the most &amp;quot;edgy&amp;quot; meme cultures. It&#039;s lack of a specific culture is what defines it. The joyful irony here is that it&#039;s only possible for the sub to reject this culture -because- they have a deep understanding of it.|[[Lemonade1947]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ownership changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
Not long after the subreddit was created, [[Kirbizia]] was replaced by [[GrantVsZombies]] as the owner of the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About a year later in 2019, [[Lemonade1947]] was made co-owner, and they share this role 50/50. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pewdiepie apocalypse of 2020 ===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10th 2020, the then most subscribed to youtuber &amp;quot;Pewdiepie&amp;quot; created a video showcasing the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kzMyW9TCXp0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this video, he acknowledges the problems that this video would create, yet makes the video anyway. He states that&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a subreddit that I willingly haven&#039;t touched because I know as soon as I review this subreddit everyone that goes on it&#039;s gonna be like &amp;quot;Oh pewdiepie reviewed that it&#039;s not funny anymore everyone knows about it now.&amp;quot; haha. Yeah well I&#039;m here to ruin it for everyone. You&#039;re welcome. Don&#039;t care. Another reason I didn&#039;t want to read this subreddit is because this subreddit just bombarded with ironic memes and that&#039;s literally it.|PewDiePie}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the sub was closed to new submissions for a week, in which [[Lemonade1947]] continuously posted updates talking about the growth of users. The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bizarrely, this was reported on my an Indian news website. This news site reported on the story almost entirely inacurately, stating that OKBR was for &amp;quot;offensive memes&amp;quot; and misinterpreting [[Lemonade1947]]&#039;s tweets about the situation. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/gaming/pewdiepie-okbuddyretard-video.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current day ===&lt;br /&gt;
These days, the sub is not credited with the same sense of new and uniqueness it once was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the subreddit grew more popular, and it&#039;s culture became more mainstream, many smaller subs have been created. It can be widely observed that these smaller subs are now where the innovation happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Discord Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Discord Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first Discord server, created in the few months following the creation of the subreddit, is known for inspiring the creation of many now very popular offshoot servers, such as [[Dogelore|Dogelore 1]], [[Whenthe]], and many more. It was made by active members of the r/BoneHurtingJuice Discord, including [[Kirbizia]]. Unfortunately, OkBR1 was nuked in December of 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, [[LunarShadows]] created a new server. This server, also known as &amp;quot;OkBR2&amp;quot;, is now known as whenthe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, after the [[Okbr2 Subreddit Split|OkBR2 splitoff]], and it eventually becoming Whenthe, OkBR3 was created. This server also led to the creation of [[Irony Hub]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, drama ensued, and OkBR3 was nuked, bringing OkBR4 to life. OkBR4 paled in comparison to any of the previous servers, and its activity and community represented a fraction of its former glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR&#039;s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Current day ===&lt;br /&gt;
These days, the sub is not credited with the same sense of new and uniqueness it once was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the subreddit grew more popular, and it&#039;s culture became more mainstream, many smaller subs have been created. It can be widely observed that these smaller subs are now where the innovation happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Discord Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Discord Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first Discord server, created in the few months following the creation of the subreddit, is known for inspiring the creation of many now very popular offshoot servers, such as [[Dogelore|Dogelore 1]], [[Whenthe]], and many more. It was made by active members of the r/BoneHurtingJuice Discord, including [[Kirbizia]]. Unfortunately, OkBR1 was nuked in December of 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, [[LunarShadows]] created a new server. This server, also known as &amp;quot;OkBR2&amp;quot;, is now known as whenthe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, after the [[Okbr2 Subreddit Split|OkBR2 splitoff]], and it eventually becoming Whenthe, OkBR3 was created. This server also led to the creation of [[Irony Hub]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, drama ensued, and OkBR3 was nuked, bringing OkBR4 to life. OkBR4 paled in comparison to any of the previous servers, and its activity and community represented a fraction of its former glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR&#039;s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;OkBuddyRetard&#039;&#039;&#039;, the official server of the r/OkBuddyRetard subreddit, what&#039;s considered to be the five server lineup of OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial irony server in the hemisphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in it&#039;s membercount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The previous server (OKBR4) was put down by the subreddit&#039;s staff on the 7th of April 2022, and it truly seemed that a fifth entry of the OkBR servers wouldn’t be made anytime soon. However, on the 21st of April 2023 there was a sudden [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/12upthd/introducing_the_newer_and_better_okbr_discord/ announcement] about a brand new OkBR server and thus, OKBR 5 was born on this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OkBuddyRetard subreddit is currently co-owned by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]]&lt;br /&gt;

== History of Subreddit ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Subreddit ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OkbrOriginal.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot; posted by [[Kirbizia]] at the point of creating the subreddit]]&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and the origin of it&#039;s name, was an image referred to as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okbr was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, early in the subreddit&#039;s life, it&#039;s current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a form of post-post-irony where a meme is re-contextualized as a response to the general boredom and apathy that it seems a lot of the kinds of people who browse have developed for popular meme culture.

{{Quote-simple|I think it&#039;s really about this sub&#039;s rejection of even the most &amp;quot;edgy&amp;quot; meme cultures. It&#039;s lack of a specific culture is what defines it.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pewdiepie apocalypse of 2020 ===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10th 2020, the then most subscribed to youtuber &amp;quot;Pewdiepie&amp;quot; created a video showcasing the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kzMyW9TCXp0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this video, he acknowledges the problems that this video would create, yet makes the video anyway. He states that&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a subreddit that I willingly haven&#039;t touched because I know as soon as I review this subreddit everyone that goes on it&#039;s gonna be like &amp;quot;Oh pewdiepie reviewed that it&#039;s not funny anymore everyone knows about it now.&amp;quot; haha. Yeah well I&#039;m here to ruin it for everyone. You&#039;re welcome. Don&#039;t care. Another reason I didn&#039;t want to read this subreddit is because this subreddit just bombarded with ironic memes and that&#039;s literally it.|PewDiePie}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the sub was closed to new submissions for a week, in which [[Lemonade1947]] continuously posted updates talking about the growth of users. The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|I think it&#039;s really about this sub&#039;s rejection of even the most &amp;quot;edgy&amp;quot; meme cultures. It&#039;s lack of a specific culture is what defines it.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pewdiepie apocalypse of 2020 ===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10th 2020, the then most subscribed to youtuber &amp;quot;Pewdiepie&amp;quot; created a video showcasing the subreddit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kzMyW9TCXp0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this video, he acknowledges the problems that this video would create, yet makes the video anyway. He states that&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a subreddit that I willingly haven&#039;t touched because I know as soon as I review this subreddit everyone that goes on it&#039;s gonna be like &amp;quot;Oh pewdiepie reviewed that it&#039;s not funny anymore everyone knows about it now.&amp;quot; haha. Yeah well I&#039;m here to ruin it for everyone. You&#039;re welcome. Don&#039;t care. Another reason I didn&#039;t want to read this subreddit is because this subreddit just bombarded with ironic memes and that&#039;s literally it.|PewDiePie}}&lt;br /&gt;
Following this, the sub was closed to new submissions for a week, in which [[Lemonade1947]] continuously posted updates talking about the growth of users. The growth was not as substantial as initially feared, and the subreddit re-opened much the same as it was when it closed. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fgu6o7/subscriptions_by_day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhdf4f/subscriptions_by_day_2_the_number_went_down/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/fhwpuf/subscriptions_by_day_3_everything_is_going_to_be/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bizarrely, this was reported on my an Indian news website. This news site reported on the story almost entirely inacurately, stating that OKBR was for &amp;quot;offensive memes&amp;quot; and misinterpreting [[Lemonade1947]]&#039;s tweets about the situation. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/gaming/pewdiepie-okbuddyretard-video.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Current day ===&lt;br /&gt;
These days, the sub is not credited with the same sense of new and uniqueness it once was. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the subreddit grew more popular, and it&#039;s culture became more mainstream, many smaller subs have been created. It can be widely observed that these smaller subs are now where the innovation happens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Discord Server ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Discord Server ===&lt;br /&gt;
The first Discord server, created in the few months following the creation of the subreddit, is known for inspiring the creation of many now very popular offshoot servers, such as [[Dogelore|Dogelore 1]], [[Whenthe]], and many more. It was made by active members of the r/BoneHurtingJuice Discord, including [[Kirbizia]]. Unfortunately, OkBR1 was nuked in December of 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, [[LunarShadows]] created a new server. This server, also known as &amp;quot;OkBR2&amp;quot;, is now known as whenthe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, after the [[Okbr2 Subreddit Split|OkBR2 splitoff]], and it eventually becoming Whenthe, OkBR3 was created. This server also led to the creation of [[Irony Hub]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, drama ensued, and OkBR3 was nuked, bringing OkBR4 to life. OkBR4 paled in comparison to any of the previous servers, and its activity and community represented a fraction of its former glory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR&#039;s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although OkBuddyRetard&#039;s former glory may never be reached again, its influence on irony is the most profound out of any subreddit or discord. Most of the servers and users listed on this wiki would have had very different lives if it were not for the creation of this subreddit and discord server.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;OkBuddyRetard&#039;&#039;&#039;, the official server of the r/OkBuddyRetard subreddit, what&#039;s considered to be the five server lineup of OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial irony server in the hemisphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in it&#039;s membercount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The previous server (OKBR4) was put down by the subreddit&#039;s staff on the 7th of April 2022, and it truly seemed that a fifth entry of the OkBR servers wouldn’t be made anytime soon. However, on the 21st of April 2023 there was a sudden [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/12upthd/introducing_the_newer_and_better_okbr_discord/ announcement] about a brand new OkBR server and thus, OKBR 5 was born on this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OkBuddyRetard subreddit is currently co-owned by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Founding of Subreddit ===&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:OkbrOriginal.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot; posted by [[Kirbizia]] at the point of creating the subreddit]]&lt;br /&gt;
It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and the origin of it&#039;s name, was an image referred to [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/ as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okbr was founded around the idea of unique and individual memes, dismissing existing meme cultures and creating new ones. The owners of this subreddit claim that this is why they ban memes, as it forces users to innovate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, early in the subreddit&#039;s life, it&#039;s current co-owner [[Lemonade1947]], described the subreddit thusly &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|It&#039;s a form of post-post-irony where a meme is re-contextualized as a response to the general boredom and apathy that it seems a lot of the kinds of people who browse have developed for popular meme culture. No other subs really encompass this in the same way, all of them having their own sub-cultures. This board (tries) to avoid that. Every post is different (even if there are occasionally some running themes which honestly I think it&#039;d be best to avoid)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He went on to say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quote-simple|I think it&#039;s really about this sub&#039;s rejection of even the most &amp;quot;edgy&amp;quot; meme cultures. It&#039;s lack of a specific culture is what defines it. The joyful irony here is that it&#039;s only possible for the sub to reject this culture -because- they have a deep understanding of it.}}&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Kirbizia&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Youtuber, former OkBR owner, current moderator of r/4Tran and creator of many infamous [[Reddit]] subreddits across the internet, the most important ones being r/[[OkBuddyRetard]], r/[[BoneHurtingJuice]] and r/[[Dogelore]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pre Irony Server History==&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia&#039;s first contact with the internet was a &amp;quot;Your Favorite Martian&amp;quot; video, at that time she was in Bangladesh for presumably a holiday, for most of her life she would use 9GAG, at the age of 13 she started using the website [[4chan]], you can potentially see the impact of this decision to this day. On the 14th of May 2014 Kirbizia created her [[Reddit]] account, where she would first create a subreddit to make fun of one of her friends in middle school. Until the age of 14 she would constantly lurk subreddits such as r/4chan. She created her Discord account on February 7, 2016. The first time Kirbizia became truly famous was when she became a moderator for a subreddit known as r/[[Deep Fried Memes|DeepFriedMemes]], at that time it was during it&#039;s relative prime. Kirbizia asked if she could create a Discord Server for the subreddit, the owner agreed to this, then she also asked them if she could become mod for the subreddit, thanks to her &amp;quot;high-quality memeing.&amp;quot; she was accepted. Thus begins the story of the first [[Irony Server]], excluding [[CringeAnarchy]].&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderating r/DeepFriedMemes===&lt;br /&gt;
From there, Kirbizia would moderate both the subreddit and discord server for r/[[Deep Fried Memes|DeepFriedMemes]]. Eventually, DFM became somewhat stale, and the staff of the subreddit decided to close it down. During that time, Kirbizia asked if she could start advertising her new subreddit titled &amp;quot;BoneHurtingJuice&amp;quot;, which was somewhat similar to the concept of DFM, based on a funny image in similar veins. Instead of funny filters now it would just be very very stupid memes.&lt;br /&gt;
After this, BHJ took off in popularity, it&#039;s growth was somewhat surreal, [[BoneHurtingJuice]] was also given an [[Irony Server]], though it has been lost to time since a very very long time ago. Kirbizia&#039;s most surreal experience was when there was a literal article written about her subreddit, where they called here a &amp;quot;meme expert&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Creation of OkBuddyRetard, r/YesCompanionImbecil and r/Dogelore.===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia made [[OkBuddyRetard]] with the premise of it being &amp;quot;BHJ but even stupider.&amp;quot; It is claimed that the premise for okbr, and where it gets it&#039;s name, was an image referred to later [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/7ivfhb/the_original/ as &amp;quot;The Original&amp;quot;]. The subreddit was advertised on BHJ and the popularity of the subreddit was slowly growing with time.  At the time the OkBR subreddit hit about 50,000 users, BHJ had already become a somewhat prominent subreddit, reaching about 200,000 users. The staff had trouble keeping BHJ &amp;quot;quality&amp;quot;, and after Kirbizia saw that she was determined to not let those things happen to [[OkBuddyRetard]], she would infamously moderate and keep out overused memes out of the subreddit, and ban users who would not abide by these rules. r/YesCompanionImbecil was also made, a small subreddit that kind of follows OkBR&#039;s scheme of things, it is somewhat irrelevant to the story of Kirbizia and her Subreddits as it only was able to reach 41 thousand users. This subreddit was made in order to protest her removal from the staff team of OkBR.&lt;br /&gt;
====Dogelore====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As stated many times before, during the time of the first [[OkBuddyRetard]] servers&#039; the Doge meme would begin resurging, this would lead to r/[[Dogelore]] being created in August 2018. Early OkBR and Dogelore would be practically inseparable, dogelore started evolving into a more story-based and grounded type of meme subreddit, opposed to the absurdist and post-ironic type of humor of OkBuddyRetard, Dogelore would also have it&#039;s own discord server, Kirbizia in her Know Her Meme Interview would also state that Dogelore would attract many &amp;quot;gay shitposting goblins&amp;quot;, she would also state that almost all early subreddits that she made were crawling with queer and gay people for some otherwordly reason. We can still see this to this day within the [[Dogelore]] discord server, as it is certainly filled with many transgenders, gays and other types of queer people, though definetly less than in 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia would own many Irony Servers through the year of 2019, though with constant dramas like [[Dogelore Civil War|The Dogelore Civil War]], nukes, and other issues she would begin slowly quitting every single discord community she made.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/interviews/kirbizia-creator-of-dogelore-obr-and-other-iconic-subreddits-shares-how-she-helped-to-influence-the-current-meme-landscape-through-absurdist-humor KnowYourMeme Interview With Kirbizia]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Leaving The Irony Hemisphere==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia would inevitably quit the [[Irony Server]] Hemisphere, trying to distance herself from the dramas of all the Discord Servers she created and the subreddits that she also somewhat lost control of, she even was kicked off r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] and in which the mods tried to purge all mentions of her, as of now the OkBR subreddit has fallen into what she had feared it would fall into, an r/ShitPosting type of subreddit... Normified into the ground, a true tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Post Irony Server History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia would continue being the owner of r/BoneHurtingJuice, she would also begin focusing on her YouYube channel and her own discord server. Though this discord server wasn&#039;t really affiliated with any [[Reddit]] community, it is simply her server. On her youtube channel she posts many transgender oriented videos, videos such as &amp;quot;PROOF that Anime makes you Transgender&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;What is a Boymoder?&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;How do you tell if you&#039;re Transgender?&amp;quot;, this being her most popular video. Reaching over 54 thousand views, Kirbizia would still be relatively remembered within the communities she created, sometimes a joke or two will be made about her, most prominently in places like [[Dogelore]] which she owned for a long time and had a big impact on.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/@kirbizia Kirbizia&#039;s Youtube Channel]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
====r/4Tran====&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia would also create another reddit community, focused on the queer people&#039;s of the website &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;, mainly sharing extraordinary screenshots from 4chan’s /lgbt/ board.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.reddit.com/r/4tran/ /r/4tran/ Subreddit Page]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Anime juice zoomed.jpeg|thumb|&amp;quot;If only you knew how bad things really are.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Kirbizia is a transgender MtF.&lt;br /&gt;
*Kirbizia has had a cum tribute done in her honor.&lt;br /&gt;
*She loves the Anime titled &amp;quot;Serial Experiments Lain&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*She has been harrassed by the forum KiwiFarms together with the [[Dogelore]] discord and subreddit for a very long time, though it has calmed down since 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
*Kirbizia once ejaculated onto an anime figure and posted it to Discord, as well as onto a picture of [[chppexVEVO]]&#039;s profile picture.&lt;br /&gt;

}}[[Lemonade1947]] currently co-owns the r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] subreddit. While he is a member of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] discord server, and has moderation privileges, he is not active here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Application to join OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] applied to be a moderator of the subreddit on 06/09/2018&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His application was accepted, and he became a moderator a little while later. He has been involved with the subreddit ever since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drama with [[Kirbizia]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] credits himself with much of the early development of okbr, although these claims are disputed by [[Kirbizia]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He claims that he... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the rules of the subreddit, claiming that he created the [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/b1zh7j/okbuddyretard_rules_dos_donts_and_discord_link/ first ever rule post]&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which the mods would vote to ban memes from the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which it would be decided which memes to ban. This was later publicly [https://www.reddit.com/r/okmetaretard/comments/dc8zl6/please_discuss_the_meme_graph_this_is_how_we_try/ outlined here in this r/okmetaretard post, and the comments below it]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Created OkBuddyRetards strict rules on posts about politics and soapboxing, which he goes into more detail about in [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/bv5fr5/a_word_on_politics_and_controversial_topics/ this okbr mod sticky]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general drama that happened involving [[Kirbizia]]&#039;s involvement in okbr is mostly recounted on [[GrantVsZombies]]&#039;s wiki page, as he was the current owner of the subreddit at the time. However it is worth noting that Lemonade adds the following claims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is unable to substantiate these, however, claiming that this is because the original OkBuddyRetard admin server was deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kirbizia]] was jealous that Lemonade&#039;s changes to the subreddit had been received more positively than hers. &lt;br /&gt;
* He claims that [[Kirbizia]] would approve his changes, forget that she had done so, then get mad at him for making them&lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade recounts that [[Kirbizia]] never wanted to ban memes, other than the Thanos Car meme. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] posted self-harm imagery in the OKBR admin discord server at times that she did not agree with him. She claims that he forced her to ban memes, and the backlash caused her to self harm. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that, following this, he convinced her to take a break from reddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these claims can be substantiated, so you will have to make up your own mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Golden Age of /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Kirbizia]] stepped down, Lemonade continued to run the subreddit with a few other mods. With the exception of Grant himself, Lemonade is the only remaining active mod from this time period. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade continued to orchestrate the banning of memes and meme formats, claiming in his own words that it &amp;quot;forced innovation and allowed newly created memes to proliferate out into the wider web once they&#039;d been banned from okbr&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current day /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having recruited many jannies and moderators during his time actively moderating the sub, Lemonade now mostly takes a backseat role. He is rarely seen making announcements or mod comments, but still removes rule breaking posts when he sees them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade is still active in the OkBuddyRetard discord server, and any large subreddit changes or announcements have to be approved by him. He has stated that he &amp;quot;very rarely&amp;quot; overrules any choices that the jannies make, usually allowing them to do as they please, sometimes with minor alterations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Promotion to co-owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade had been [[GrantVsZombies|GrantVsZombies&#039;s]] second in command for about a year before, in late 2019, Lemonade was given the title of co-owner. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His role in managing the server did not change, the only difference being that he no longer had to go to Grant with big subreddit changes, and the two would simply advise each other as equals.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

}}[[Lemonade1947]] currently co-owns the r/[[OkBuddyRetard]] subreddit. While he is a member of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] discord server, and has moderation privileges, he is not active here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Application to join OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] applied to be a moderator of the subreddit on 06/09/2018&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His application was accepted, and he became a moderator a little while later. He has been a moderator ever since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drama with [[Kirbizia]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] credits himself with much of the early development of okbr, although these claims are disputed by [[Kirbizia]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He claims that he... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the rules of the subreddit, claiming that he created the [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/b1zh7j/okbuddyretard_rules_dos_donts_and_discord_link/ first ever rule post]&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which the mods would vote to ban memes from the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which it would be decided which memes to ban. This was later publicly [https://www.reddit.com/r/okmetaretard/comments/dc8zl6/please_discuss_the_meme_graph_this_is_how_we_try/ outlined here in this r/okmetaretard post, and the comments below it]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Created OkBuddyRetards strict rules on posts about politics and soapboxing, which he goes into more detail about in [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/bv5fr5/a_word_on_politics_and_controversial_topics/ this okbr mod sticky]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general drama that happened involving [[Kirbizia]]&#039;s involvement in okbr is mostly recounted on [[GrantVsZombies]]&#039;s wiki page, as he was the current owner of the subreddit at the time. However it is worth noting that Lemonade adds the following claims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is unable to substantiate these, however, claiming that this is because the original OkBuddyRetard admin server was deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kirbizia]] was jealous that Lemonade&#039;s changes to the subreddit had been received more positively than hers. &lt;br /&gt;
* He claims that [[Kirbizia]] would approve his changes, forget that she had done so, then get made at him for making them&lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade recounts that [[Kirbizia]] never wanted to ban memes, other than the Thanos Car meme. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] posted self-harm imagery in the OKBR admin discord server at times that she did not agree with him. She claims that he forced her to ban memes, and the backlash caused her to self harm. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that, following this, he convinced her to take a break from reddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these claims can be substantiated, so you will have to make up your own mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Golden Age of /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Kirbizia]] stepped down, Lemonade continued to run the subreddit with a few other mods. With the exception of Grant himself, Lemonade is the only remaining active mod from this time period. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade continued to orchestrate the banning of memes and meme formats, claiming in his own words that it &amp;quot;forced innovation and allowed newly created memes to proliferate out into the wider web once they&#039;d been banned from okbr&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current day /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having recruited many jannies and moderators during his time actively moderating the sub, Lemonade now mostly takes a backseat role. He is rarely seen making announcements or mod comments, but still removes rule breaking posts when he sees them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade is still active in the OkBuddyRetard discord server, and any large subreddit changes or announcements have to be approved by him. He has stated that he &amp;quot;very rarely&amp;quot; overrules any choices that the jannies make, usually allowing them to do as they please, sometimes with minor alterations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Promotion to co-owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade had been [[GrantVsZombies|GrantVsZombies&#039;s]] second in command for about a year before, in late 2019, Lemonade was given the title of co-owner. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His role in managing the server did not change, the only difference being that he no longer had to go to Grant with big subreddit changes, and the two would simply advise each other as equals.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

}}[[Lemonade1947]] applied to be a moderator of the subreddit on 06/09/2018&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/9d1qet/rokbuddyretard_is_looking_for_moderators/e5hpcdq/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His application was accepted, and he became a moderator a little while later. He has been a moderator ever since. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Drama with [[Kirbizia]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Lemonade1947]] credits himself with much of the early development of okbr, although these claims are disputed by [[Kirbizia]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He claims that he... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the rules of the subreddit, claiming that he created the [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/b1zh7j/okbuddyretard_rules_dos_donts_and_discord_link/ first ever rule post]&lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which the mods would vote to ban memes from the subreddit. &lt;br /&gt;
* Formalised the process by which it would be decided which memes to ban. This was later publicly [https://www.reddit.com/r/okmetaretard/comments/dc8zl6/please_discuss_the_meme_graph_this_is_how_we_try/ outlined here in this r/okmetaretard post, and the comments below it]. &lt;br /&gt;
* Created OkBuddyRetards strict rules on posts about politics and soapboxing, which he goes into more detail about in [https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddyretard/comments/bv5fr5/a_word_on_politics_and_controversial_topics/ this okbr mod sticky]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The general drama that happened involving [[Kirbizia]]&#039;s involvement in okbr is mostly recounted on [[GrantVsZombies]]&#039;s wiki page, as he was the current owner of the subreddit at the time. However it is worth noting that Lemonade adds the following claims:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is unable to substantiate these, however, claiming that this is because the original OkBuddyRetard admin server was deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kirbizia]] was jealous that Lemonade&#039;s changes to the subreddit had been received more positively than hers. &lt;br /&gt;
* He claims that [[Kirbizia]] would approve his changes, forget that she had done so, then get made at him for making them&lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade recounts that [[Kirbizia]] never wanted to ban memes, other than the Thanos Car meme. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that [[Kirbizia]] posted self-harm imagery in the OKBR admin discord server at times that she did not agree with him. She claims that he forced her to ban memes, and the backlash caused her to self harm. &lt;br /&gt;
* Lemonade claims that, following this, he convinced her to take a break from reddit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of these claims can be substantiated, so you will have to make up your own mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Golden Age of /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
After [[Kirbizia]] stepped down, Lemonade continued to run the subreddit with a few other mods. With the exception of Grant himself, Lemonade is the only remaining active mod from this time period. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade continued to orchestrate the banning of memes and meme formats, claiming in his own words that it &amp;quot;forced innovation and allowed newly created memes to proliferate out into the wider web once they&#039;d been banned from okbr&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Current day /r/OkBuddyRetard ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having recruited many jannies and moderators during his time actively moderating the sub, Lemonade now mostly takes a backseat role. He is rarely seen making announcements or mod comments, but still removes rule breaking posts when he sees them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade is still active in the OkBuddyRetard discord server, and any large subreddit changes or announcements have to be approved by him. He has stated that he &amp;quot;very rarely&amp;quot; overrules any choices that the jannies make, usually allowing them to do as they please, sometimes with minor alterations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Promotion to co-owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
Lemonade had been [[GrantVsZombies|GrantVsZombies&#039;s]] second in command for about a year before, in late 2019, Lemonade was given the title of co-owner. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His role in managing the server did not change, the only difference being that he no longer had to go to Grant with big subreddit changes, and the two would simply advise each other as equals.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Pre OkBR==&lt;br /&gt;
Before the creation of the OkBuddyRetard, it seems as Grant was a staff member of the r/JonTron subreddit and their discord server. It seems that many of the subreddits members did not like how he acted, calling him a Nazi and other mean names due to him using his staff privileges. Since then it seems as Grant has abandoned being a staff member of the subreddit. At an unknown date he would become active on the OkBR subreddit and also become a staff member, also joining it&#039;s first discord server, OkBR1.&lt;br /&gt;
==Grant&#039;s Ownership Change and OkBR Drama with Kirbizia==&lt;br /&gt;
GrantVsZombies became the owner of the r/OkBuddyRetard subreddit after [[Kirbizia]] passed it over to him to take a small mental health break from moderating OkBR, when Kirbizia tried to rejoin the staff team and get ownership back, Grant asked the other moderators of r/OkBR if it would be a good idea, the general consensus was &amp;quot;No&amp;quot;, due to the timing and other issues. The efforts to oust [[Kirbizia]] where mostly spearheaded by [[Lemonade1947]]. &amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Well, I asked as many of them as I could, and the general consensus seemed to be that they do want you back in the future, but not at the moment for a few different reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
The main points brought up were that if you were to come back this soon it would devalue your leaving and absence (and anyone&#039;s possible future leavings) and that we are trying to&lt;br /&gt;
get the public to respect us as much as they did you, which is most likely easier when you are on leave. There aren&#039;t any hard feelings or anything, most people just think the timing&lt;br /&gt;
isnt there yet&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Kirbizia would ask Grant and the staff team of OkBR once again after one month of waiting, this has only resulted in once more another essay of words.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;The sub is in kind of a tough spot right now. We&#039;re getting a lot of users from various outside sources (i.e. /r/dankmemes) and many, many people are complaining about&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;this. We&#039;re figuring out how to handle this, and hopefully we can get it to a more manageable level soon. How this relates to you is this: if we were to bring you back now, users would&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;likely take notice, and what happens from there is anyone&#039;s guess. (It probably wouldn&#039;t be great for the team as a whole though) See, there was kind of a cult of personality around&#039;&#039;[[File:War on Kirbizia.png|thumb|War on Kirbizia]]&#039;&#039;you - or, at least, as much of one as there could be for anyone on Reddit. If you were to return in that way, people would likely think of it as a pseudo-messianic event, like &amp;quot;Kirb is&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;back to save us from the mods/normies/etc.!&amp;quot; As was shown when you left, some people were somewhat disillusioned about how exactly the sub was run, and were under the&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;impress all decisions were yours and yours alone. Your return at a time like this would only serve to illegitimatize the other mods in the public eye even further. Of course, none of&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;this is your fault. It isn&#039;t really anyone in particular&#039;s fault, but as things stand now, we need to get the public to respect us. Don&#039;t take this as we-don&#039;t-want-you-back, because that&#039;s&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;not true. We just need to work on our own issues, and how long that will take is uncertain. Whenever we feel the tides have settled enough for you to return, I&#039;ll be sure to tell you.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Hopefully the public won&#039;t be as big of a thorn in our side for much longer.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;Kirbizia would also respond with an essay.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;let me make this clear i genuinely care about my subreddit and want to make sure it remains good. okbr is at this point my magnum opuses of a subreddit and i want to do&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;everything to keep it good. not to be a control freak. i am here asking to be added back to help you guys. i am not insisting that you guys haven&#039;t helped moderating, but in the past&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;year or so for the most part it was me doing alot of the work. i made meme bans, i responded to people in comments about it, i did most of the meme bans that occured i did css,&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;pinged people about events, planned events and all these things cause i care about it. i just want to be added back to help you guys in the face of a declining sub (at least from the&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;publics perspective) and if you guys are too prideful to say you need help then so be it. think about how it looks that you aren&#039;t letting someone join cause of the &amp;quot;cult of personality&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;when if anything that cult would help improve the subreddits image if i came back. I&#039;ve gotten multiple messages asking me to rejoin as moderator and the only thing I can say is &amp;quot;i&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;asked but the mods won&#039;t let me return&amp;quot;. please im asking you let me help you guys&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;After Kirbizia discovered that comments and posts mentioning her were being removed both manually, and via automod, from the subreddit, she would make a big reddit announcement. A huge r/OkBR drama would also ensue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kirbizia stated that it was completely disrespectful to her considering that it was her who did nearly all the work growing her subreddit. This claim strongly disputed by [[Lemonade1947]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wished to be put back not because she wanted to have power but because she genuinely wanted to make people laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this drama would escalate even further until Kirbizia gave up, and was also banned from the OkBR discord servers and [[Dogelore]] by [[LunarShadows]]. The OkBR server would only allow high rank users to talk for a temporary period of time and it&#039;s invite link would be deleted off the subreddit for a bit too.&lt;br /&gt;
