OkBR Timeline

OkBuddyRetard 1 (January 3 - December 30, 2018)

Early History

On December 10, 2017, Kirbizia created the subreddit r/okbuddyretard and several other subreddits to store memes she found funny. Over the following weeks, others began to join in. The mods mainly consisted of people she knew off r/bonehurtingjuice (seannerz, netwiderogue, pizza)

The first OkBuddyRetard Discord server was created on January 3, 2018. It was sort of an anarchy server, with a series of regular users who would have normal conversations to a backdrop of "degenerate meme spam" as Uhtred put it. There were lots of prolific users on the server at this time, one of which being a Brazillian Integralist (unironic fascist) called Skeleton, who used to rant about exterminating the unclean.

Kirbizia was the owner or ‘Queen Buddy’, and the roles were ‘Ok Retard’, ‘Ok Buddy’, ‘King Retard’ and ‘King Buddy’, those last 2 being mod and admin. She used to be relatively chill, but started troll-banning people and clearing music queues, and later went inactive for a while at one point. All of OkBR1's moderators at the time were old friends off BHJ and Kirbizia’s girlfriend (garfieldkart/ava) The BHJ mods didn’t really care at the time, so the server was ran by her and Ava.

The first user to get admin outside of Kirbizia’s friends was a person called Vati, who modded for a while but later got in a car crash and quit the server. The new moderation staff told Kirbizia to get rid of the BHJ mods because they were all relatively inactive on server and Kirbizia agreed. Pizza added them all back acting like a head admin, but they were quickly demoted and Pizza never spoke on the server again.

Modding was very unstructured at this time, mods could not ping everyone in mod channels so mod votes went unoticed. Venomi began to integrate a lot of stuff from other meme servers, such as the Dumbass role, Mod votes, Mod applications and the wiab chat, which were stolen from the DeepFriedMemes Discord (all staples of the modern Whenthe experience, thanks to Venomi) This also included the inclusion of the Shapiro Squad, Doge Squad and Garfield Gang roles, which would all become their modern equivalents. Garfield Gang was shortlived and died very quickly. Roles were originally given based on messages sent. However, this was changed to actual quality and time spent on server, despite there still being a remaining debate on what that meant.

Bruhmoment Troubles

Around this time, while the server was at 500 members, Cmonster made an offshoot server which would become Bruhmoment. There were a lot of jokes in it about raiding and nuking OkBR, which later made a user tell this to Kirbizia. Her reaction was to ban every single person from Cmonsters server off of OkBR, including around half the mod team and active users. Venomi tried to stop Kirbizia from committing server suicide by telling her to unban all its users, which failed. People stayed on Bruhmoment and continued to talk there.

Kirbizia Resigns, LunarShadows Becomes Owner

With Kirbizia's growing unpopularity, Kirbizia decided to quit moderating the server and subreddit. Kirbizia would go on to apologize to Venomi and Cmonster for some of the stuff that happened, in a now long lost tweet. Ownership of the subreddit was given to GrantVsZombies, while ownership of the Discord Server was given to LunarShadows. Lunar was a relatively new user at the time, and its suspected that he was given owner in an attempt by Kirbizia to kill the server. As the new owner, Lunar unbanned everyone who Kirbizia banned for being a member of Bruhmoment.

He was also revealed to be a very big degenerate, as most irony server owners, who hit on LTC for a while. Kirbizia would use this to accuse Lunar of sexually harassing LTC and she used 3 reddit threads to do this. This failed, LunarShadows continued to own the server and Kirbizia finally gave up to pursue her own YouTube career.

When he wanted to take a break from being a moderator, he gave his alt a role above all the others with full admin, and fucked around with the server. This made people mad and caused unneeded chaos. Eventually, Lunar decided that democracy had gotten too slow and him and a user called Tobias made the admin and mod roles useless. A large majority of people decided to quit the server around this time, and Lunar and Tobias became the sole admins of OKBR1

End of OkBR1

In December 2018, the token for Ohtred, the "Other Uhtred", was leaked, allowing a malicious user to log into the bot. Since the bot had very high permissions, it caused catastrophic damage in all the servers the bot was in. The bot token was leaked by accident when Uhtred accidentally uploaded it to the bot's GitHub repository without realizing it. The person who hijacked the bot is unknown, nor is their motive. This led to OkBuddyRetard being nuked on December 30, 2018. When the bot was nuking OkBR1, there wasn't any staff online with a role high enough to stop it. The bot would delete messages and channels and ban people. Before banning a user, it would DM them "OWNED BY OWNAGEBOT." By the time someone could stop the bot, the server was in shambles.

After the server was destroyed, the appeal server became a refuge for several members. The remnant of OkBR1 was renamed to OkBuddyRememberance, and Lunar deleted it sometime the following year. Doctor Penez and Veemo attempted to make an unofficial OkBR2 server, but a new one that was linked to the subreddit was created and they were kicked out.

OkBuddyRetard 2 (December 30, 2018 - January 17, 2020)

The same day the OkBuddyRetard server was nuked, LunarShadows created a new server known as OkBuddyRetard 2.

April 2019 Mod Drama, LunarShadows Resigns

On April 1, 2019, Lunar purged a large amount of the mod team without consulting anyone else, enforcing that he had the authority to do so. The demoted moderators included Spacemace, Xyze, Markov, Uhtred, Deg, Noir, Dun, Subbg, LordBlyat and Tacotoaster. A lot of the old mod team that disagreed with the decision and his disregard for the traditional method of altering the mod team, the monthly Mega Mod Vote, left the server in protest. He opened mod applications for around a day and recruited a bunch of new people. A new server was created by the admin Dun called #1 People, a refuge of sorts for the exiled mods to discuss the current situation.

On April 5, 2019, Lunar posted three messages to #announcements to address the issues.

“	Let me address the issues of the past few days - Yes, a few mods were demodded, the rest subsequently left. This was done after discussion between Tobias and I over the issues that would arise from some of the mods when they didn't quite get 100% say in everything of the server. The fact of the matter is, yes, Tobias and I did not feel like a few of the mods should remain as moderators. Was the situation handled poorly? Admittedly, yes, it was. The biggest issue is that over the slightest bit of drama and disagreement essentially all mod activity was slowed down or even completely brought to a halt due to the fact that a few of the mods could not just deal with drama appropriately. While, yes, not everyone agrees on everything and not everyone should we should also not stop everything because of simple issues. This does NOT mean that I personally dislike any of the mods who decided to leave and/or were demodded. I knew many of them for a while and it brought me no joy to see them go. At the same time there has to be a degree of separation between moderation and personal issues. The few who were demodded were demodded over moderation issues and the rest decided to leave. When the few who were demodded were gone, more decided to leave. No, this does not have any large change on the mod voting process. They largely remain the same except for the fact that now decisions that largely could affect the server can be passed on even despite passing a vote. This is an issue a few of the moderators made a strong point of. This is a thing I do not do often as I know it is disliked but if it is a vote that could potentially be a detriment to the server it should not be allowed to pass and we should not have a giant power struggle over the fact that a complete democracy was not fully achieved. Despite the fact that some consider this to be a "dictator" move, the fact is that I discussed this with Tobias previously and he advised that demotion of some of the mods would be necessary, I agreed and so here we are. It was not my intention for the majority of the mods who left to leave, however, they decided to do it by their own decision. While I regret that they left, I wish them luck in whatever they decide to do beyond this server. I apologize to those who were banned during the drama. While it was only going to be temporary, I should have been more transparent about that fact rather than not.	„
	— Lunar addressing the mod situation - April 5, 2019

Two hours later, the server was locked for almost five hours due to people claiming they will purposefully trying to be banned and most mods being offline. At the end of the day, LunarShadows conceded when GrantVsZombies became involved told him to step down, transferring ownership of the server to him. The same day, a Mega Mod Vote was held, with 8 out of 14 voters supporting Lunar being demodded.

“	And so due to the fact that the mods are little bitches who cannot accept any kind of authority figure, I take my leave. @GrantVsZombies I truly hope you don't decide to do even the slightest thing against their little system of democracy or the exact same situation will play out. Goodbye. It's been quite an experience owning thing place for half a year. @everyone	„
	— LunarShadows' goobye to OkBR - April 5, 2019

After making his goodbye message, he was demodded and promptly banned from the server. Many of the old moderators chose to resign after this, including Venomi, Dun, Koolguy, and Squidplumber.

Tobias remained head admin. He would later sucumb to his strange urges, deleting the mod chat history and pinging everyone with a "You was at the club" but Five Nights at Freddy's meme.

GrantVsZombies' OkBR2

Grant's OkBR2 was quite quiet, with his main interactions being an attempt to bring the Discord Server and subreddit closer together. This was catastrophic and would eventually lead to the Okbr2 Subreddit Split and the birth of FunnyOmega, the short lived name for the server that's now known as Whenthe.

For this servers history after the subreddit split, check out the Whenthe Timeline.

OkBuddyRetard 3 (January 17 - May 31, 2020)

Early OkBR3 History

After the eventual split of OkBR2 from the subreddit, and it eventually becoming Whenthe a new OkBR discord appeared, the "unnukable" one, this is also the server that birthed Irony Hub.

When OkBR3 was created, the ban list was completely wiped. Many infamous banned users from OKBR2 such as Doctor Penez and LTC rejoined the community. Superiority over role supremacy was quite prevalent. OKBR3 had an extremely active vc, with very common community game nights, mostly jackbox. During times of rising tension against mods, they would often be an annoyance, such as frequently dragging/disconnecting people at random from the vc, the vc and no mic text channels were almost entirely unmoderated. Pornographic content being streamed in vc and posted in the no mic channel wasn't uncommon. There were a few small spinoff servers based off of the activities of the VC community, such as an OkBR terraria discord server and Pansmith's temmie village server/

Doctor Penez's Shenanigans

With many moderation failings, a very angry elite userbase. And much tension between the users and moderators. A cold war started. The main figureheads of the Cold War include

Loyalists

• Doctor Penez
• GrantVsZombies
• Moderation team

Elite

• Dkaih35

• Moe Lester
• Gamer
• Other active users

Things stay relatively sane, until Dr.Penez, the insane troller he was, is fed up with the OkBR3 Elitism. He decides to ping everyone and let all members into the meta talk. From now on the chat was free use, this resulted in the sacret chat of #meta-talk being infested with CRINGE normies.

This made much of the Elite mad, as expected. three users, Dkaih35, Moe Lester, and Gamers would create three separate discord servers. Spin offs only for the elites of OkBR3, flourishing with peace.

With Penez Further destroying the server and pissing off more and more of the elite things got even worse, a new command being introduced that had a bug. It allowed everyone to mention any role, this of course led to some unforseen consequences. 400+ Pings and 25+ Bans, this had resulted in another spike in the OkBR3 Cold War, though the server had end of the year exams, which definetly led to a drop in the user activity, reducing the tension of the cold war. But with new moderator applications coming, Hell would arise! Upon discovering that the new moderators were randoms who joined just month ago, and that it was to fight "elitism". As you may know, the elites were furious. If things couldn't get worse, one of the new moderators had a discord anime girl profile picture, it was also Doctor Penez's alt account. Oh the humanity!

The Mets Nuke - 4/24/2020

The OkBR Brackets, in the weeks leading to 4/24 in which users would be able to vote for their favorite OkBR discord user, in the morning of that day the final brackets were held. Jafi against the infamous Moe Lester. He was losing by a couple of votes, and so he decided to ping the buddy role in order to get people to vote for him. This was around 500 people. This led to the Staff's decision to ban moe from OkBR3. This leads to long riots that would lead to hundreds of people being muted as well as one moderator taking a temporary leave, but moe was unbanned. And all was temporarily good. Until, one longtime mod, Mets, is prompted to make a new role. He accidentally gives this role to every single user. This role had administrative abilities, at first people didn't realize that they had this role. But when they did, chaos arose from the ground. People started pinging @everyone and this attracted around 8 Thousand users, at this point the mod channels were revealed, thousands of N words, channel deletions, bans. many bots that were the brain of the server were kicked, people who never talked in the server decide to post their porn folders full of degenerate and hardcore abhorrent porn in every text channel they could find. People also changed the server icon to insane stuff. At this point all hope was honestly lost. Until one person deleted the new role, an unknown hero. Effectively ending the nuke and all of the chaos, there was still fallout to deal with, people learned that it was Mets who did this devious deed, he told everyone that it was an accident and resigned from his poisition in shame. The staff did their best to restore the server, but it was nearly impossible as most of the channels were deleted, many users left the server and a few mods quit. Kronik, a server moderator, gets a huge list of people who deleted channels, posted porn, pinged everyone, etc. and banned all of them, leading to about 100 users being permabanned. In order to prevent spam the staff only allows a handful of users to post messages, by the time the clock hit 12 AM most of the spam and chaos had been contained and when the morning of 4/25 rolled around, most users were allowed to post.

Users Destroying OkBR3 During the Mets Nuke

The Infamous Mets Nuke Caused:

• 2 longtime moderators resigning

• 1 moderator eventually being banned

• Hundreds of tags, emotes and channel history being lost.

First IronyHub Banner

• Tons of popular users leaving, 2 thousand in general leaving the server.

• Dozens of people being uanned

IronyHub - OkBR3's Greatest Enemy - 5/25/2020

Just a month after the infamous Mets nuke, the worst day in OkBR History emerged. 3 well known users, Moe Lester, Gamer and Dkaih35 left due to constant mod abuse in the discord. Many of the active users symphatized with the others for doing so. Really fed up with the abuse several members of the elite combined their respective discord servers into one, big server called Irony Hub. The crossroads between worlds, the greatest creation of the Human Civilizations yet.

The community was created so users could have a mod abuse, gay pornography and drama free OkBResque experience. As the server was still in infant stage. Some dogelore mods seeing the Irony Hub potential partnered with the server. This gave the server a good member boost as well as some nitro boosters.

Dkaih35 then openly declared war on the OkBR Admins, He needed to FUEL the users' anger against the staff menace. And how to do that better than a speech? Thus, Dkaih35, unleashed perhaps one of the most beautiful essays yet.

“	I have a message for us all today. The time has come for a new place for people to congregate. Okbuddyretard has just become a shithole, and we're gonna make this better. Mods will no longer have power to do everything and will receive punishments  for screwing  up. We will not have childish circlejerks that only have  stupid people continue because they are brainless. I left the server tonight because I'm done with moderator abuse screwing up my community that I've loved for so long. I'm taking it in my own  hands. I enjoy talking to everybody on the server who's worth having [???]. We need people who are willing to stick with us to make a change for the better. No moderators will be allowed to do things like making an alt account and deleting all the mods from the server, uh, spam pinging everybody multiple times, or even nuking the server. Nobody's gonna be allowed to do that without repercussions. I highly recommend leaving OKBR3 to send a message to the moderators that their behaviour is not ok, and we're not gonna tolerate it. Thanks to everybody who plans to stick around with us for the new future, and a higher quality community. Welcome to the future.	„
	— Dkaih35

But this only led to controversy and relentless mockery in the entire irony community, Whenthe,Dogelore,Bruhmoment. Dkaih became a laughing stock and now his only safe space was Irony Hub. This was a point of no return.

The original idea was to make Irony Hub a hub between all irony servers, if only...

The Death Of OkBR - 5/31/2020

With the tiredom of the OkBR3 moderators, that they had to deal for years now. Constant grooming, pedophile allegations and other strange scandals, raids and nukes. They figured that they would have to end it all and begin a new server. On May 31, the moderators completely erased the server after another nuke began. GrantVsZombies, having no other choice, deleted OkBR3 from existence.

OkBuddyRetard 4 (June 19, 2020 - April 7, 2022)

Inter Limbo Period And OkBR4

The Inter Limbo Period describes an era in which there was no official OkBR server, it lasted nearly three weeks. With many small clique servers rising during this time there were two that managed to take the most users in. The Penez Dimension as well as Irony Hub.

After a long wait a fourth server was made on June 19, 2020. The server lacked many things such as activity roles, proper channels, and other things that were generally thought of when thinking of an OkBR server.

This also helped the future rise of Irony Hub. As users missed what the old OkBR was and seeked that experience again.

End Of OkBR4 - 4/07/2022

Many users who were not satisfied with the fourth server left for IronyHub, this left a discord server with almost no active users and constant rule breaks, it was decided that the server's future would be decided with a mod vote, the only user who voted against the decision to delete the server was Doctor Penez. He then invited multiple subreddit mods, made them admin, and demoted the admin to mod. At first the mods were just trolling, but then the server got nuked. Then it was deleted on the 7th of April 2022.

Video of the nuke

Intermediary Period (April 7, 2022 - April 21, 2023)

Many have thought that OkBR 4 would be the last OkBR due to the events that took place that caused the downfall of OkBR 4. A bit before OkBR4 was deleted. transam33o made a server called Troll Termainal (now known as Awesome Planet) as a splitoff to OkBR4 because of the sub mods, multiple active users leaving, and to make a better server. It gained around 80 members in the day of opening and it currently has over 700 members and is decently active.

OkBuddyRetard 5 (April 21, 2023 - present)

On November 16, 2022, Myszak created a private server to make a template for a new OkBR. In April 2023, he became a subreddit moderator of r/okbuddyretard. On April 21, Myszak invited a few users and subreddit mods to the server to become staff members, namely GrantVsZombies, killthekaiser, Text101, and coolest. On April 22nd, 2023, 1:20:15 AM UTC, a sudden announcement was made about the brand new OkBR server. 4 minutes later, Myszak announced the server on the Irony Server Wiki Discord. It gained over 100 members within 24 hours of opening.

The server reached Level 1 on April 24, Level 2 on April 28, and Level 3 on May 5. The day OkBR5 reached Level 3, the custom invite was set to atheism (as it couldn't be set to "okbr", despite no server owning it at the time). Two days later, the invite was changed to teamfortress after a server named Atheism requested the atheism vanity. Two days after that, on May 9, the invite was changed to ragecomics. On May 13, Saucy announced the opening of an OkBuddyRetard Minecraft server.

The server reached 1,000 members on June 11, 2023, 51 days after its opening.
