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
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
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
Relujak is an inside joke started by user Grug, 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 she was dissatisfied with her 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
"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]
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]
Penis cu legume
"Penis cu legume" (Penis with vegetables) was a posting trend on the server during September 2023. It consisted of using a Discord bot command (with NotSoBot) which displays the Google Images results of user queries.
On September 6th, 2023, Gelujak sent the message ".img penis cu legume" in #bucuresti-general[7], to which the bot replied with an image of vegetable dish with chicken meat made to resemble a penis (NSFW).
The image was published in 2013 on a WordPress blog hosted by a man named Dan Caragea.[8] The blog is about a Chinese woman who cannot live without seeing the male genital organ, even in her food. That's why she decided to open a restaurant where all food served contains meat resembling the organ. It is said she models them manually using a special matrice.
Due to the comedic value many members found in the image, it has started to be rapidly appreciated by the community and accordingly nearly spam-posted across the server. This eventually led to server admin RT banning the posting of the image in any way and handing out timeouts to the disobeyers of this rule. The keyword ".img penis" was banned, but variations weren't considered, which led to the discovery of other similar images, like "penis cu paine" (penis with bread), likewise posted on Dan Caragea's blog.
On September 29 2023, a new channel #dan-caragea-fan-club was added to the server, with the purpose of holding the above-mentioned images.[9]
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
Since v2, întrebarea-zilei (Question of the day) is a channel where admins, mods and people with the Întrebător al zilei 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.
Pariuri / Book of RT
The #pariuri channel (bets) is used to host bets which are organized in two teams, where the winning team gets rewarded bot currency (TrollCoins) or XP, and the losing team gets a timeout from the server. The philosophy behind the bets (according to RT) is that, the more you believe in your team, the higher your chances of winning.[10] This got the nickname of Book of RT (a play of words on Book of Ra, a popular slots game), coined by olduser.[11]
The first large scale bet, hosted on August 9th, 2023, involved a 24 hour timeout, and a 3.000 XP reward.[12] Due to its positive reception and RT's desire to continue the bets frequently, he programmed an open source bot named August, which handles bet participants, picks winning and losing teams, and applies timeouts.
On August 27th, 2023, for the occasion of OKPR v3's anniversary of one year without server deletion, RT hosted the Anniversary OKPR Bet (Pariul aniversar OKPR), which featured ridiculous rewards and punishments - 60.000 XP for the winners (which meant a completely new user would reach the first page of the leaderboard), and an entire two week timeout from the server for losers.[13] 55 people participated, and were awarded the Parior aniversarea OKPR 2023 role. The XP rewards had received criticism at this point, as they were making the leaderboard worthless. This was the last time XP was rewarded for an OKPR bet. Items were added to Unbelievaboat the shop, and the economy was reformed (with changes such as 12h cooldowns for money commands).[14]
Bets have continued ever since, and they are a daily event nowadays (usually for 800 TrollCoins/12h timeout).
