Editing OkBR2 Subreddit Split

[[File:Split23.png|thumb|300x300px|I Survived the OkBR 2020 Split]]The '''OkBR2 Subreddit Split''' was a plan to make [[OkBuddyRetard|OkBuddyRetard 2]] its own independent server, making a new fresh subreddit to gain members from in the process, and passing ownership to the head admin, [[Harmonic]].

== History of the Split ==
This plan dates to early 2019, when it was leaked. It was made due to a growing discontent and division between the subreddit of r/OkBuddyRetard and the discord server. A few other key factors also contributed, such as many of the OkBR subreddit moderators being banned from the discord server.

It would take some time for the plan to become official, effectively being introduced in early 2020.

=== The Great Subreddit Split of 2020 ===
The idea of this split was largely discussed by both subreddit staff and discord staff. It was decided that the server would be finally splitting off the subreddit, with the subreddit moderators fully losing all permissions on the discord and OkBR2 losing its main way to gain members.

The server's future was extremely uncertain, and everything was finalized on the 17th of January 2020, with [[GrantVsZombies]] resigning from their position of owner on the server and passing it down to [[SquidPlumber]]. A name competition also began that would choose the server's new name, users would have to vote and choose their favorite names that were also made by other members of the community.[[File:Image341.png|thumb|750x750px|End Of The Name Competition|left]]It was finally decided that [[Prod]]'s name, Funny Omega would become the server's official name.<ref>[https://i.gyazo.com/d7929d731a93dd4aac5c22f21b4bb69c.png Screenshot of an announcement regarding the new name competition.]</ref> Only a day later after the split, the server had its first partnership with [[404]], r/dankmemes' old discord server.<ref>[https://i.gyazo.com/694a1477a859627d3005d1394564ffef.png Screenshot of the announcement regarding the new partnership with the 404 server, or the official r/DankMemes discord server.]</ref>

After the failed attempt at creating a new subreddit called r/RageBased, [[Whenthe|r/whenthe]] was born, creating a great future path for the server.<ref>[https://i.gyazo.com/90b6f2c5683ffbadca40b0e0b1f58a5d.png Screenshot of the announcement surrounding the creation of the failed r/RageBased subreddit.]</ref>
