5 months in. The server is barely online, and '''Meme Alt''' is trying to find ways to revive it. Then a wonderful idea comes to their head. They bring forth '''girard''', a '''GenAI''' chatbot that learns from server's messages. His first words were notable for being the funniest shit ever, and he was quickly accepted into a community despite our differences between humans and chatbots. | 5 months in.

=== The Summer of '23 === | |||
The summer of 2023 was the most active period of the server's history. This activity declined sharply as swagcord's many adolescent user's returned to school or otherwise moved on in Fall of the same year. | |||

On September 17, '''Lin''' rejoined the server after a short absence<ref group="editor's note">'''Missing Context.'''</ref>, and was surprised to see how much the server had grown over the course of a single day, thanks to '''Sam'''<nowiki/>'s recent server promotion on the '''r/IkeaFreshBalls''' subreddit. While the conversation was otherwise unremarkable, chaos ensued as attention shifted to a '''butthole reaction''' under one of the earlier messages, disappearing after less than a full second. Even though it was just a few messages pointing it out at first, emboldened by the newfound attention, the '''terrorist''' soon reacted to another message. From that moment on, widespread panic and hysteria completely took over. | ||

With no way to verify their identity after the reaction was removed, anonymous and faceless, the '''Butthole Bandit''' continued spreading their reign of terror across the channel. A sniper unit was dispatched to '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜''', eyes peeled to the screen and fingers ready on the reaction button, their reflexes honed for years prior, all to catch a mere glimpse of their name. | Dubbed the '''Butthole Bandit''' by the general populace<ref>{{Cite message|author='''Nae'''|date=September 17, 2023|content=The butthole bandit has taken over|server=69SwagBalls420 Cord|channel='''🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''}}</ref>, the '''terrorist''' continued '''thug-reacting''', always gone in a mere moment.

With the server on its last legs since the beginning of the '''KirbyCord Exodus''', desperate attempts to reinvigorate the fading flames of the wonders of summer would soon start to emerge. On September 27, server member '''Meg'''<ref group="note">Short for '''Megatron'''.</ref> would suggest once again bringing back '''girard'''. Previously kicked out after several incidents involving saying the n-word, '''Ozzy''' nonetheless decided to resurrect the bot back from the grave as a short experiment. While the idea of lobotomizing '''girard''' was floated around by '''Walter''' in order to prevent past events repeating, the proposal never went through, as an '''AutoMod''' '''filter''' was already set up to prevent slurs from being posted to the server. Nonetheless, within 5 minutes of joining, the bot found a way to get past it. | With the server on its last legs since the beginning of the '''KirbyCord Exodus''', desperate attempts to reinvigorate the fading flames of the wonders of summer would soon start to emerge.
