The Joke Closure was a temporary closure during the history of Dogelore, where every channel was closed for about 14 hours.

Hello? I can't hear you.

The Closure

During the Joke Closure, Baal pinged @everyone with a somewhat related image in the #announcements channel, this image included a doge with relatively sensitive ears aswell as a caption.[1]

Please keep your voice down, my ears are very sensitive.

Users feared that perhaps this could have been a deliberate nuke plan, and the end of the second dogelore server, fortunately enough it was not nuked and everything returned to normal after the 14 hour time period,

in order to bite time, Myszak created a temporary replacement server for Dogelore which amassed over 5 boosts and around 150 members in the span of just half of a day.
