OKPR is the official Irony Server of the r/OkPrietenRetardat subreddit. It is one of the few servers in the irony space that is based on a language other than English. Even though it had many server deletions and reboots, it is still active, and a small hub of quality Romanian shitposts and unfunnies, featuring a tight knit community.

Timeline Summary

OKPR v1

Founded during November of 2020, OKPR v1 was the first edition of the server, and gave the subreddit's community a chance to connect with eachother. Originally, it was created by another person while the subreddit had 900 members, with the purpose of celebrating the next milestone of one thousand Reddit members. Quixotic, the founder of the subreddit, was invited, and server ownership was transferred to him. Messages on Reddit related to v1's creation are all deleted, so, presently, the original server creator and v1's exact creation date are unknown.^[1]

OKPR v2

Founded on May 15th, 2021, on the same day as v1's deletion, OKPR v2 was the second edition of the server.^[2]

OKPR v3

Founded on August 27th, 2022, OKPR v3 is the third and current edition of the server.

Liga Mulatra

On June 26th, 2023, multiple members revolted against the state of the server, and because of the situation with Gagaunci and his DMs of child pornography.

Popular memes/trends

Buci Mesi

Messi Cheeks

The term buci mesi (English translation, Messi Cheeks) was coined by Hiss27, when he captioned the image of Lionel Messi showing his ass. It became a long term mascot for the subreddit and the Discord itself.

Relu's Lego Ferrari

Relu's Lego F40

One day during v2, Relu said that he ordered his own Lego Ferrari. This, for him, was a dream that finally became true. Some members stated that it won't arrive at his destination. But, after 4 months of waiting and spamming and crying like an annoying retard, his dream car arrived, and, after assembling it, he started spamming pictures and making unfunny memes with it in #bucuresti-general.

Thugposting in general

Thugposting was a trend in OKPR which involved posting NSFW content of black men (also known as thugs) in lewd poses, including media of DreamyBullXXX and Nude Barber, and deleting them after a few seconds if a moderator was around. Usually those materials were posted during midnight, in order to not be seen by a large audience, which instead made the trend become more and more recognizable.

Some members found thugposting funny, but some did not. After some time, some people were getting tired of the incessant thugs in general chat, and thought that it got 'unfunny and repetitive', instigating a conflict. Even some of the staff members such as OrthoSB, Mihailul and Razvan5576 thought it was beginning to get unfunny. Since then, OrthoSB made a decision, and added the rule that thugposting is now banned. Some members argued about this new rule, while others stated that it made the server a better place. Thugposting is still banned to this day.

Relujak

Stop posting about Relujak

Relujak is an inside joke which is based on one of the many profile pictures that Relu has possessed on his Discord account. This one in particular depicts one of the main characters from the video game Hotline Miami, Biker^[3], whose helmet is worn by a soyjak. The image encapsulates both Relu's (often ironic) suicidal tendencies, as he was frequently and jokingly saying on chat that he wants to kill himself, and also his passion for the Hotline Miami game series.

Eventually, the joke became one of OKPR's symbols, being more recognizable thanks to a video meme made by Edward.^[4] There was also a not-quite-the-right moment when a member from OKPR made a reference about relujak on a Romanian youtuber's Discord server while another user from that server confessed that he was dissatisfied with his life.

Sunt cu mașina

"Sunt cu mașina" (English rough translation, I am with the car), means that the user is currently driving, or inside an automobile.

The joke originally started on the OKPR v2 server and was made by user Razvan5576, who had a driving license at the time (and still do). Shortly after obtaining his driver license, Mihailul also adopted the joke and started using often on his Discord status, eventually helping popularizing it among OKPR's server members.

Basically, this phrase meant that the user who said it was currently driving, but the joke can also be used ironically by users who do not have a driving license.

OKPR army

The OKPR army started after Netflix's son wanted to see the smallest tank in the world. After finding a mini tank used by SWAT teams to breach buildings, he called it "Tancul OKPR", and made a post on the subreddit claiming that, if everyone paid 10 lei, OKPR could buy a tank. He continued finding goofy looking military equipment and claiming they are a part of the OKPR army. After a short amount of time many other users started doing the same thing. This trend continued until the deletion of v2.

Toma Poponaru

"Toma Poponaru" is a very rough romanian translation of the nickname "Gay Tony", belonging to one of the main characters in Grand Theft Auto 4 - The Ballad of Gay Tony. The translation was coined as a joke by HeliasC, while over at szailor's house. Szailor then went ahead and changed his profile picture to Gay Tony's face and his username to "Toma Poponaru", and started spamming "Bună! Mă numesc Toma Poponaru" ("Hello! My name is Gay Tony") in OKPR's general channel. HeliasC, seeing this, jokingly called szailor out on stealing his meme in the chat, and similarly changed his name to Toma Poponaru. Several more users also changed their names, joining in on the meme. This meme started in December 2022 (on V3) and is still brought up.

sunt negru coaie

Members spamming the "sunt negru coaie" image

"sunt negru coaie" (I'm black bruh) was a mass spam event on the server on July 11th, 2023, after Bogdan posted the following message:^[5]

if some retard comes and edits "I'm not black bruh" but erases "not" I'll come and hit him against all the walls

Right away, RT used Inspect Element and made a photo of exactly what Bogdan advised against; a message from his account reading "I'm black bruh". Six members starred the message, and a few moments later, members started spamming the image.

This lasted a few minutes, up until the chat was locked. Some people moved over to the #polska-gurom-general channel and continued spamming. The general chat got unlocked, and people continued to spam inside it. RomanianMemer mentioned @everyone, and more people joined in. The spamming lasted a total of ten minutes, and amassed over 500 messages of the "sunt negru coaie" image.

The spam continued on July 20, 2023 out of the blue on #bucurești-general and #polska-gurom-general, now with new memes and GIFs that contain the famous quote written by bogdan.^[6]

Notable channels

București General

#bucurești-general (Bucharest general) is the name of the general chat, started around v1 of the server. This is where most of the shitposting happens.

Gulag/Vorkuta

Vorkuta is a 'jail' channel, first started in OKPR v3, for members who broke the rules. Prisoners stay temporarily or permanently, or pay the tax stated in the #sentinte channel by farming trollcoins from UnbelievaBoat and paying either the staff member that jailed them, or Mihai3, who has the Comisar de Afaceri Interne role (Commissioner of Internal Affairs).

Întrebărea zilei

"would you rather poop bears or have all of the world's bears transform into gigantic masses of poop?"

Since v2, întrebarea-zilei (Question of the day) is a channel where admins, mods and people with the Creator de întrebări role can ask the community random questions they can answer. Iubesc întrebările zilei!!! is pinged for each question.

Many times, asinine questions are asked, such as "Do you prefer poop or piss?". Relu is a master of this technique.
