===The End of The High Priest===

On December 21, 2022, ''Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'' was released in theatres. Audiences from across the globe went wild. Considered by many to be one of the greatest pieces of animation in the past decade, it received widespread acclaim and attention even from those that do not watch animated movies regularly. ''Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'' became one of the most talked-about movies of the year, and it is no wonder that the discussion reached '''69MoeLester420'''. An unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of this discussion was the self-imposed exile of the head moderator, '''The High Priest'''.

The day was January 20. '''The High Priest''' had, by that time, become an integral part of the server. Although he did not care about moderating at all, he was considered a part of the '''MoeLester family'''. The devastating "Puss in Boots incident" was a piece of drama that could have easily been avoided, and yet, it snowballed to colossal proportions. Most of the '''Moederators''' would like to forget this chapter. There is no ill will here, but it sucks that it happened, and the '''Moederators''' wish to leave the person behind and move on.

The offending message may have gone completely unnoticed in most internet spaces, yet '''TikTokker''', for all her faults, rightfully took issue with the message. Although we all held some form of respect for '''The High Priest''', it was an undeniable fact that, once the proper context of the contents of the message settled in, this post was incredibly weird and kind of fucked up to share. '''The High Priest''' responded by explaining that he was talking about the voice of Puss, provided by Antonio Banderas, rather than his physical appearance. This did not satiate '''TikTokker''', who, now with '''Instanormie''' by her side, continued the attack by stating that even if that was what he meant, he shouldn't have worded it in such a poor manner. '''TikTokker''' ended this conversation by muting '''The High Priest'''. She was ready to forget about this entire situation as long as it didn't turn into a reoccurring issue.

It was then that things went from weird to almost comically absurd. While people were ready to keep this incident in the past and forget about it, '''The High Priest''' couldn't help but repeatedly bring attention to it in the following hours. Bringing up the issue in a sarcastic manner in his DMs with '''TikTokker''' certainly didn't do him any favors, as claiming "evil spirits" possessed him in a situation like this caused much of the respect that '''TikTokker''' still held for '''The High Priest''' to slip away. Soon the question was raised of whether or not he was even being ironic: when the conversation resurfaced hours later in '''#general''', he once again claimed to have looked back on the conversation and wondered if he was possessed by spirits. While obviously done jokingly, some of the mods, once again led by '''TikTokker''', believed that this was a manipulation attempt meant to strike pity, while also shifting blame on some abstract entity in the past as opposed to the current him. It was on par with a Youtube apology video. The mods weren't buying it.

Not long after this, '''The High Priest''' left the server. As far as anyone is aware, he has had no contact with the other '''Moederators''' since.

The whole fiasco left everyone involved with a lot of mixed feelings. While it was agreed that what he said was bad, the '''Moederators''' wondered if they had been too hard on him. No matter our feelings about him, nothing can change what went down on that day. the relationship with '''The High Priest''' was permanently ruined, and he joined the ranks of the many lost '''Moederators'''. This loss was further soured by the fact that he was the original creator of the subreddit. With another chapter of the server's history closed, the turbulent ride neared its end.
