Some of these people would soon fade into obscurity. Others, however, will forever remain part of the '''69MoeLester420''' mythos. As the server link was soon posted to the subreddit, ordinary members decided to join. As is the nature with servers like these, people join, only to drift away after a while, yet one person in particular, an individual known only as '''Deez''', remained an active member of the server until its very end, despite, by his own admission, never having heard of the subreddit before joining. Godspeed, '''Deez'''.

=== Early History ===

As the event soon concluded, the '''~~moederators~~''' simply decided to keep using the place, having been much more convenient than modmail during the past few days. For a while, the server remained relatively inactive, with a few shitposts having been posted daily without much discussion in between, at best consisting of a dozen messages before going quiet again. They say hindsight is 20/20, many things we may simply ignore at the time and sometimes forget even happened, change their character once looked at in a different light. The fact that '''Gladiux''' was quick to insult anything he didn't find funny was one of them. At the time missed as he expressed thoughts perhaps shared by us, looked back on it almost seems to foreshadow the events that would transpire an entire year later.

=== The Dark Ages ===

On December 6, the server link was added as an automatic response, with every post on the subreddit now containing an automoderator reply which would lead to the server. While previously the majority of the conversations were held almost exclusively by the mod team, with the notable exceptions of the users '''Deez''' and '''Norman the Mormon''', this action resulted in a sudden influx of new users who started to participate in the discussion. Given the sheer brilliance of the posts present on the subreddit, it was of no surprise then that the moment the server opened it took a major downturn in quality. This period, having such a negative impact on the overall state of the server, allows for the server's history to be split into two parts, the first part, when the server used to be nothing more than a glorified group chat for the '''~~moederators~~''', and the second, when the server truly became part of the community at large. Although the first few days after the opening were rough, it would prove to be a blessing in disguise, in time revealing many issues present in the server and the mod team.

=== An Odd Fellow ===

On December 17, a new user joined the server, one of many, their presence barely registered by the mods. After a few messages, done in furry speak, in one of them seemingly recognizing '''koonsbmw''' as the furry moderator from the subreddit, the user went silent for the most part, before starting to engage in conversations once again on December 31. The user showed an interest in the '''~~moederators~~''', first striking up a conversation with '''Mr. Sex''', before going on to greet '''Walter''', professing love to both of them, as though the mods knew who this user was, instead of them being a complete stranger.

The conversations on the server continued, as though nothing was out of the ordinary, I mean, such conversations are relatively normal in an ironic context, which the server most definitely provided. The fact that someone cared this much about the moderators was strange, most Reddit users don't give a swag about who their moderators are for the most part, yet even so, the occurrence wasn't weird enough for it to really stick in the minds of the mods. A special look at the user was only taken on January 3, when '''Mr. Sex''' shared the news of yet another KittenStomper6617 alt account being banned from Reddit.

Line 60:

On January 8, '''r/LesbianInsectBrothel''' was banned from Reddit. A sudden influx of gore videos hit the subreddit, as the mods, inactive accounts that haven't logged into the website in weeks, did nothing to stop it. Seeing such a huge subreddit being purged by Reddit, as a response to a situation no one could have predicted, made the moderators of other similar shitposting communities reconsider their approach to moderating, with new harsher, stricter methods being implemented all across the website. '''r/69MoeLester420''' was no exception.

The '''~~moederators~~''', in their eternal wisdom, already figured out a system that was about to be implemented which would be able to deal with the exact problem the shitposting community was facing. By setting up a moderation queue, every post made by a user not trusted by the mods would be automatically removed, only being shown to others if the mods deemed it worthy of seeing the front page. It was a glorious idea, one unthought of before, yet another proud creation of the server to be remembered forever, one for the ages. With the propaganda department hard at work, there was no possibility this could have been a failure, for months the mods have been preparing themselves for this.
