Comedy Heaven Timeline
TIMELINE January 2020 - The continuing tensions between omen, the owner of ch1, and many of the server/subreddit mods causes them to officially move to a new server, moving the subreddit association with them. This server, known as ch2, is the server known as ICU that we see today. The new owner is will h, and the server officially opens
January 24th. February 2020 - The first wave of ch2 trial mods were instated, mostly old prominent members of the ch1 community who were not previously moderators. Veridis, peebombs, Tundraa and danieldan0 pass trial by the end of the month.
May 2020 - This month marked a big change for the server and its ownership. Prior to the events of
May 1st, will h had transferred ownership of the server to Edge as he had largely become inactive. Additionally, on May 1st, a new wave of trial mods, including sm0nky, willyum, nxc (bath at the time), overo and Cmaj7b11 were promoted. Later that day, most of the members of the admin and mod team, as well as most of the older ch1 users, left the discord server following a mass burnout caused largely by drama surrounding the userbase's conflict with Nepu as well as accusations of mod abuse brought by nxc's leaks of the mod chat. Many of the users who left moved to BM and Swagistan, some never returning. After nxc was demoted from trial, (she was trial for a whopping 20 minutes) most of the team had left the server, and the remaining trial mods were immediately promoted to full mods in their place. What followed was great chaos, everyone pings, a universal hatred for overo by all members of the server, and a turbulent transformation of the userbase from ch1 users to newer ch2 users. Throughout this chaos, Edge retained his ownership of the server. By June, the server had mostly recovered and had promoted some new trial mods, one of which was Disco, the current owner.
July 2020 - Edge leaves, effectively making Veridis the owner.
August 2020 - December 2020 - Veridis manages the server, multiple mod waves come and go, honestly not much happened during these months, but the quality of the userbase noticeably changes and the humor of the server slowly shifts with the absence of ch1 users.
January 2021 - By now, Veridis and many members of the subreddit mod team had determined that the discord userbase was unreasonably low quality and almost irredeemable. The r/comedyheaven admins had decided that they would have to disconnect from the discord server. Therefore, the server was to be rebranded and would gain users from partnerships and vanity links with the absence of the sub. Multiple contests passed until ICU was decided to be the best name. Before Veridis and the rest of the r/comedyheaven mod team left, Veridis nuked the rules channel, the sub channel, the announcement channel and anything else that was related to the subreddit, erasing most of the sources of information I could get for mods, dates, etc. This was also when Veridis deleted ch1, erasing all of the information I could have salvaged from there too. From here, Disco took ownership and has held the position ever since.
