OkBR Era
OkBR1 Nuke, Beginning of OkBR2 — 30/12/2018
In December 2018, the token for Ohtred, Uhtred's bot, was leaked. This allowed a malicious user to log in as the bot, and as the bot had very high permissions, they caused catastrophic damage in all the servers the bot was in, and ultimately a nuke in OKBR1. 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. When the bot was nuking OKBR1, there wasn't any staff online with a rank 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. And so, on December 30, 2018, [[LunarShadows]|Lunar] made OKBR2. OKBR1 remained a remnant of what it once was; it was later deleted.
Creation of Whiskers, World's Cutest Utility Kitty Cat. — 24/02/2019

LunarShadows Drama — 01/04/2019 - 06/04/2019
On the 1st April 2019, April Fools Day, Lunar purged a large amount of the mod team without consulting anyone else and enforcing that he had the authority to do so. A lot of the old moderation team that disagreed with the decision and/or his apparent disregard for the traditional method of altering the mod team, the monthly Mega Mod Votes, left the server in protest. He opened mod apps 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. He eventually conceded when Grant got involved and told him to step down, and Lunar's changes to the moderation team were undone. However, many of the old moderators chose to resign after this, including Venomi, Dun, Koolguy, and Squidplumber. Lunar became inactive following this incident.

WhenTwo — 10/11/2020
The first WhenTwo server was made, used as a backup server, an archive and also for appeals. It later was deleted for some reason. There was also this strange court system but it didn't work out, everyone kind of just forgot about it. It was basically a mock up court type system, there would be appeals open to anyone, anyone who felt as their ban was unfair could get a lawyer to represent them. A random IJ+ Would be chosen as the jury. A moderator would also be the opposing lawyer. After much discussion a verdict would be decided.
Introducing Whentwo, our brand new second server that will be used to compile, appeals, ban appeals, hearings, lore, old tags/pins and many more. You are not required to join this server, however if you are summoned for jury duty you'd have to join anyways :clueless~3:. Please understand that this is a brand new server and we are still working very hard on polishing and designing it. If you have any suggestions, critiques, or feedback please do not hesitate to contact a staff member. This server will be used to host Whenthe court. In which the google doc below will explain!!

Rip Drake — 15/11/2020
Definetly one of the biggest achivements of the irony community as a whole. On the 15th of November starting with whenthe a message was sent in announcement, telling everyone to post the #RipDrake hashtag on twitter. And to also spread the word about it, eventually it was also posted in ironyhub and dogelore. The movement picked up speed, and with the help of many servers. It reached the trending spot as well as an official statement from twitter, that Drake. Is not actually dead.
Meme Server Lore — 02/12/2020
A shared lore server is made, whenthe gets a spot on it. Unfortunately, it just did not work out. And the server was deleted a few months after it was announced.
WhenTwo 1 Is Deleted — 07/12/2020
The first WhenTwo server gets deleted, the moderators were just unhappy with how it worked. And it was just left there to die. Unfortunate.
You guys may have noticed that whentwo was deleted today. The reason this happened was because the moderator team felt like it was just kind of not working very well for our vision of the server, as well as having to check two servers just was not working too well for us, and whentwo was kind of just left to die on its own. So instead of slowly letting the fetus bleed out until it fades from our memories, we decided to instead put it out of its misery as respectfully as possible. Let me know if you have any questions about it but yeah
NRWF Drama — 22/07/2020 - 23/07/2020
NRWF was banned for being a really problematic user who broke rules often, this would start a series of events that lead to a lot of drama. A day later on 23/07/20, Profuse, Corno and Goofy were all ascended for “plotting” stuff on another server in retaliation of nrwf getting banned, there were raid thoughts but they were instantly scrapped and Profuse, Corno and Goofy were later banned for causing chaos, drama, and alting.
Whenthe Reaches 10 Thousand Members — 03/01/2021
After celebrating new years, 2 days later the whenthe discord reaches it's 10,000th Member.
At 14:57 EST today we got our 10,000th member. Then they left 30 seconds later. At 15:01 EST we got out 2nd 10,000th member. 2 years and 5 days ago on December 30th, 2018, this server became OKBR's official discord after the original one was nuked by a bot who's token was leaked. During that time we have seen the ownership change 3 times, a server rebrand 4 times, and many staff mass leaves. Even through all of that the server is as healthy as ever and you can see this by us getting 3k new members in the last season of 2020. We started off 2020 with our split from OKBR where we had a negative trend with our member count that only turned around in April-May when we changed the vanity to discord.gg/funny. At that lowest point we were around 4,500 members, and today, 7 months later, with the help of the vanity, you guys, and our recent discovery feature, we have made a 5500 man increase in membership, more than double what we had in April and more than this server has ever had even in its OKBR days. This only goes to show that this community is far from dead and it contradicts what many thought at the beginning of this year. We are looking forward to 2021.

The Report Crisis — 04/01/2022 - — 12/01/2022
Many Irony servers were suddenly reported by supposedly cas. Of course whenthe wasn't safe, it was reported for "discriminating / dehumanizing content" the server was in chaos and temporarily closed. A new Whentwo server was also made as a place to go if the main server would ever get deleted. Fortunately, pastor successfuly appealed. and the server was safe.
Hello, Discord. I am the owner of the account The Pastor#4868. Recently, it has come to our attention from a bot message that our server came into conflict with the TOS and my account as well as the entire WhenThe server is at risk of deletion. The server has been passed down for 3 years, and a lot has changed on the server. However, I wish to address what I and the rest of the staff have percieved this, and a potential solution to this. We recently witnessed a "sister server" get deleted over being reported for discriminatory and dehumanizing content as well. After seeing this, we increased moderation against slurs and other discriminatory content via bots that will detect and delete these terms as well as any attempts to bypass the term. We are to believe that we, as well as the aforementioned sister server, have been mass reported by angry ex-members as many other members have mentioned. We have tried our best to keep our chat safe and friendly, even implementing a mod mail bot where users can report bad behavior to us, to which we respond to quickly. We have tried to put every precaution possible to keep the server from being targeted and reported, yet here we are. We 100% want to cooperate with these server reports, however, the warnings received regarding the reports are too vague; and result in the staff team being confused as to what we need to do to "fix" the situation without deleting all 3 years of the servers history to flashbang all previous actions taken by 3 years worth of people. As previously stated, we try our best to keep the server fun and safe for everyone. Our server has 17,000 members with an average if 15,000 messages daily. While we as staff try to keep an eye on chat and moderate it appropriately, we simply cannot have eyes on every single member in every channel at any given moment. We have recently been working to fix this with new moderators on the way, so we have more eyes on the chat. Additionally, since the warning, we have been deleting potentially problematic parts of our server. Back to the topic of the content in which we were reported for, as previously stated, we implemented bots capable of censorship as well as a way for members to contact staff in regards to any discriminatory content or harassment that occur in the server. Bots can only do so much, and if members fail to utilize contacting staff regarding issues, then there is not much we can do. We have a punishment logging channel as well, in which there are plenty of instances where we punished for toxic behavior, harassment, and use of derogatory language. Recently, we banned one of our Ex-Mods for Transphobic remarks. We banned someone accused of grooming and predation today as well with haste. Please, Discord Trust and Safety. We have been trying here, but we have no idea what it is specifically we can do unless you assist us. We fear that with the loss of WhenThe, there will become a power vaccuum that leads to the creation to newer and less professionally moderated communities that are not as hard as we are in terms of Anti-Discrimination. We take Anti-Discrimination with utmost importance and seriousness, and we work to make a welcoming, diverse, and populous environment in which everybody can get along in. I myself am known to be very against forms of discrimination and the active members universally support my behavior as an owner of the server in my ability to reasonably work with people. I want to work this out with Discord Trust and Safety, and I will cooperate with Discord Trust and Safety, and will go down with the server that I love and put so much care into after I inherited the server in April. I strongly feel that this can be worked out, even if I am unsure what it is that I have done wrong, but I am open to work with Discord in creating the environment in which it wants us to create. We hope this appeal reaches a human that can read this with some amount of sympathy, especially when years of server history, as well as - more importantly - staff accounts, are on the line over this situation. We understand the severity of the situation, and wish to solve the problem so that we may keep our community together. We need a bit more help from Discord staff in regards to what specifically we need to "fix", as well as how we should appropriately go about this. Thank you.
Osiris Drama — 03/02/2022
Osiris was a mod on whenthe who was later demoted due to toxicity. He would later be banned for partaking in illegal behavior, bringing users into a groupchat without their consent and making them feel uncomfortable, his friends encouraged others to send nudes. This is also a criminal offense. Rather Funny.

Zarney watched the chaos unfold, already intending to resign. Woozy banned a bunch of people. Eventually in the chaos, explicit messages where shared exposing Pastor, the owner of the server and his views on age-gaps in marriage among other suspect things.
Steely's Whenthe
Pastor Crisis, the Steelyarchy Begins. — 17/07/2022 - 28/07/2022

General Deletion? - 1/5/2023
The staff team would temporarily disable the ability to see the #general channel to regular users, this would worry many, some even thought that the channel was deleted.
