Why does Sisyphus continue pushing the boulder? One might naively assume that it is the prospect of victory that compels him. Perhaps this may have been correct the first time the boulder was pushed up, maybe even the second, tenth, ten thousandth time. Yet it would soon dawn on Sisyphus that his task is hopeless. No matter how much effort is put in, the boulder will roll right back to the bottom. A question will soon be asked, what might be the point of such a task if it will always amount to failure? The pointlessness of it may prove brutal for some, for what is the point of anything if the outcome cannot be avoided? Albert Camus offers a different perspective. One must accept the absurd that surrounds us instead of trying to find a sense of meaning where there fundamentally isn't one. Sisyphus will never reach the top of the hill. Yet he continues on. He has accepted the meaninglessness of the task, and that acceptance allows him to truly live. He does not find joy in the victory he will never achieve, only to have his hopes crushed every time his progress is set back to the beginning. Instead, he finds happiness in every step he takes along the way, opting to enjoy the life that he has rather than spending this one hoping for what he may never have. And as the boulder rolls back, he takes a sigh of relief knowing he can take a break from his work, before going down to start the cycle once more. The joy comes from the task itself, not the reward that might await him, for as gruelling as it all is, in the end, this boulder is his and his alone, and nothing can take that away from him. He finds meaning in living itself, no matter how pointless it may seem, for even so, his life, torturous as it may seem, is as valuable as anyone else's. In some sense, the '''Cockroach''' does the same. It is aware it will never win. So many times it has been banned instantly, yet it keeps on trying. It is the modern Sisyphus, determined to continue carrying on its endless task, as hopeless as it may seem. It does not care for the prospect of victory any more. Instead, it finds joy in every n-word it drops, every dead child it posts. It is not the final goal that matters to it anymore, it knows more than well nothing will come out of its little stunts, it is the very process of annoying the mods that gives the '''Cockroach''' life. It is the journey that matters, not the destination. One must imagine the '''Cockroach''' happy. | Why does Sisyphus continue pushing the boulder?

It was not long after that '''KittenStomper6617''' left the server. As far as anyone is aware, he hasn't stayed in contact with the other mods. The whole fiasco left everyone with a lot of mixed feelings about the entire thing. While it was agreed that what he did was bad, the '''moederators''' were left wondering whether they had gone too hard on him. No matter our feelings about him, nothing can change what went down on that day, the relationship with him permanently ruined, '''KittenStomper6617''' becoming another lost '''moederator''' in the list of many, additionally soured by the fact that he was the original creator of the subreddit. With yet another chapter of the server's history closed, the turbulent ride is nearing its end. | It was not long after that '''KittenStomper6617''' left the server.

===A Change in Ownership=== | |||
On January 20, mere hours after '''KittenStomper6617''' left the server, '''Mr. Sex''' announced he would be abdicating his position as server '''Owner'''. It was clear the server was undergoing massive changes. Nominating '''Moe''' himself to be the owner, as well as '''Walter''', after a short back-and-forth between the two the honor ultimately fell upon '''Walter''' to lead the server in the following months. Although the situation surrounding the server was already unstable given '''KittenStomper6617''''s recent unexpected exile, it would get much worse during this final period in the history of '''69MoeLester420''', as it seemed as if things would truly fall apart many times over. | |||
And so '''Mr. Sex''' exchanged his final goodbyes before leaving. | |||
RETURN ON MARCH 5 | |||

Here's the funny part. Do you notice those four 👆 reactions under the message? People were approving massively of this decision, even though '''Gladiux''''s behavior was like this since the very beginning of the server. It's just that no one had spoken up about it. We all wanted him gone but were afraid to tell him all this time for whatever reason. To avoid drama, to not have us kicked out from the subreddit, or most likely, not knowing how much the others on the server shared our feelings about him. It wasn't before we were certain there was a significant amount of people that hated him that we even thought about removing his role. And it all goes back to that at the time harmless decision to give him the '''moewner''' role all those months back. He was granted authority he never deserved and asserted it through his aggressive behavior during the past few months. No one could have demodded him on their own, it was only when the people of the server united that anything could have been done. | Here's the funny part.
