The Old Testament
Chapter 1: Genesis
Allow me to set the stage for you, OkBR3 is nearing the end of its lifespan, users are unhappy with the state of the server and shit has been going downhill for some time. Three users; dkiah45, Moe_Lester and Gamer, noticed that the end was near and formed a plan to ensure the community from OkBR3 could live on in a new server.
These 3 users each had their own somewhat established servers that they owned (around 100 members), Moe having Moe's Lestland, Gamer owning The Lounge and dkaih45 owning OkBR's Finest. In the first few weeks of May 2020, they began forming a plan to merge the three servers into one larger server, one the community from OkBR3 could call home after its inevitable end.
Irony Hub was created on May 14th, 2020 by dkaih45 but was only open to him, moe and gamer while they "constructed" the server and made plans for it to possibly become OkBR4. From what i understand the server was not worked on much in this time between its creation and its eventual opening, rather most of the server was rushed out at the last minute as dkaih believed that OkBR3 was being nuked. He enlisted the help of Weezor, DespacitoPrime (Now known as Rhaydix Prime), Jafi, Riemann, Pansmith, Oddbread, Pikeman and Waluweegee to become the first mods of the server and to help put the finishing touches on the server as it launched.
Irony Hub was opened to the public on May 26th, 2020 and quickly grew to a few hundred members, even smashing OkBR3's activity levels on the first day of it being open, it even secured a partnership with dogelore (a MUCH bigger server) which boosted it's growth even further. But although Irony Hub's first days were exciting, they were far from peaceful...
Chapter 2: "Humble" beginnings
For the first few days of Irony Hub's life, the server was completely different to what it is now. It was incredibly chaotic, with almost no rules (the ones that were there were vague and almost never enforced) and the mods didn't take much of it very seriously. As a result of mod carelessness some of the early Irony Hub users began to raid OkBR3 and spam it's invite. This pissed off the OkBR mods, and caused a weird sort of feud between the two servers that although less severe, still lasts to this day.
OkBR users would join Irony Hub only to call it shit, Irony Hub users would join OkBR just to spam invites and this went on and on until eventually, one of the OkBR mods posted a message in their announcements channel which stated that anyone who remained in Irony Hub would be banned from OkBR and reported to discord for raiding. This caused a huge blow to Irony Hub's activity and membercount and caused some of the mods to question their loyalty to the server, with jafi even leaving the server entirely. This was all later resolved, as another mod came out and said that it was a bluff, but they would appreciate it if IH users stopped raiding them.
Sidenote - One of the current "co-owners" at the time, "Gamer", was demoted on May 30th 2020 by dkaih for "spamming and not having the right attitude for moderating a server." He was never remodded but went on to play a large part in later major events. This was also the same day that the co-owner role was deleted and replaced with an Admin role which was given to Moe_Lester, Weezor and Riemann, with dkaih as owner.
Irony Hub's "feud" with OkBR was put on hold temporarily on May 31st, 2020 when OkBR3 was nuked and deleted forever. For Months there was no OkBR server, and many used Irony Hub as a waiting room for the later announced "OkBR4", causing Irony Hub's membercount and activity levels to skyrocket.
Chapter 3: DRAMA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
During the time between OkBR3 getting raped and OkBR4 crawling out of it's miserable primordial sludge, Irony Hub had a period of really dumb drama and bullshit. Some of it was pretty funny while some was unnecessarily stressful for what it was. Examples:
Djente bullshit - Indeterminate date
Long story short, djente was a somewhat prominent user in OkBR3 who was banned for begging for mod constantly and pinging everyone during the 5 seconds he got mod as a joke. He later re-emerges on Irony Hub, and continues the exact same shit he got banned for before. For some reason, he targets Weezor and tries to get him demoted for some really dumb reason. (I think it was because he was late dealing with some world-ending crisis in general chat. :exploding_head: What a fucking piece of shit right?) He continues his sperg for a few days, even pestering dkaih to demote Weezor and mod him instead despite dkaih's house being at risk of catching fire, which djente didnt care about. Eventually dkaih and weezor get tired of his shit and weezor bans him and calls him out for being a huge incel.
Riemann nuke - Indeterminate date
While djente was being put on blast for being a jewlord, dkaih started bringing up some really personal shit with djente in announcements, which upset a lot of users and mods as they felt like he went too far. One of which was an admin at the time named Riemann, who got pretty fed up of dkaih's shit and resigned, but not before giving every user @everyone perms and leaving the server. The server lost a bunch of members and people got really pissed off, but it was overally a pretty mild nuke and is only really on here because it was the first time Irony Hub was ever "Nuked". After Riemann was obviously demoted and banned, Werp was promoted to admin in his place.
Typewriter suicide hoax - June 8, 2020
Typewriter was a prominent user in OkBR3 and was good friends with moe, even co-owning moe's lestland before it merged into Irony Hub. On Irony Hub however, he is infamous for trolling the entire server with a fake suicide prank. In the week leading up to June 8 Typewriter began acting extremely strange, most users dismissed it as him just feeling down, he spammed lines like ":smiley: VENDING MACHINE IN THE HOTEL HALLWAY :smiley:" (The infamous quote) and made up shit about running away from home and having attempted suicide before. On June 8 shit really hit the metaphorical fan however as Typewriter managed to convince the whole mod team and a large part of the server's userbase that he was going to commit suicide that night. This was incredibly stressful and upsetting for all of the mods involved and it felt like a huge fucking slap in the face to find out the next day that it was all fake and it was a "funny troll". after being called out for lying and being forced to admit his to his sickening prank, Typewriter was banned from the server and is currently on the Never Unban List.
Moley - June 9, 2020
dkaih decided it would be incredibly funny one day to create an alt, give it a role above admin, then fuck about in the server, pissing people off then eventually banning the whole mod team for a "meme". He was criticised heavily for this and its one of the main contributors to him leaving the server.
Chapter 4: The 2nd Reich
Ownership transfer - June 10, 2020
After what happened with Moley, dkaih was heavily criticised for behaving recklessly whilst also being a huge nazi towards his own mods. eventually it all got to him and he decided to step down as owner, appointing Weezor as the new owner of the server. The timing of this was unfortunate however, as Weezor was made owner at a time when he was already wanting a break from discord, so he never gave the server much attention and was arguably just as bad an owner as dkaih at first because of how inactive he was. He eventually resumed normal activity, however his inactive period caused a lot of drama and unnecessary bullshit to happen, and the server went through a sort of dark age because it was basically leaderless for a month.
OkBR4 is created - June 19, 2020
What didn't help the already "dire" situation was OkBR4 opening on June 19, giving Irony Hub more direct competition. Luckily perception of OkBR4 at first was horrible, so IH was able to retain most of its userbase. This also reignited the rivalry between the two servers.
Sidenote - an undertale mod named "Ironytale" is developed by user caskain, being based on users of the server. The mod is released on June 24, 2020
Jafi and Cmaj7b11 are both promoted to admin after a vote - July 1, 2020
Moe Lester demoted - July 18, 2020
Moe Lester is demoted from admin and mod for taking away the entire mod teams mod roles after an argument with jafi over shitposts in announcements. Around this time Candy is also given admin to replace him.
Moe Lester is given mod again - July 24, 2020
And is later given admin again after Cmaj7b11 leaves.
The infamous mod elections - August 1, 2020
Essentially these were mod apps but with a twist, after applications mods would pick out the best applications and have the users vote on the 4 they liked the most. This idea ended up just turning into a popularity contest and caused a shit ton of unnecessary drama. Also the person who came up with the idea (hor), ended up getting mod out of it which annoyed some people lol.
LTC drama: Wave 1 - August 3 - August 13, 2020
Arguably the worst period of Irony Hub's history, I wont go too far into detail because a lot of it is pretty personal but this was a period of drama involving a user named "Libtard Thanos Car" (LTC). She was a moderator for a while in the early days of IH but was demoted for inactivity and giving J1 trial mod without a vote. Many see the mod elections as the start of the drama, as LTC seemed to get pretty upset when she wasnt elected as mod, but the truth is it stems even further back to her original demotion and the mod's terrible handling of users harassing her over being a shitty mod. A lot of pretty personal things happened during this time but it was handled awfully by both parties, and resulted in multiple mods getting ToS banned due to mass reports. it was eventually resolved for the most part outside of the server.
Sidenote - Around this time dkaih returns to the server under a new name: "Skakid". he was quickly given advisor, then mod because of a staff shortage at the time.
The dkaih Nuke: end of an era - August 21, 2020
On August 21st, dkaih pinged everyone for an incredibly unfunny meme, and was temp demoted for it. he was later given mod back but fearing a full demotion, he talked to ex co-owner gamer about what to do. Gamer convinced him to nuke the server, and not in a "nuke the server lol xd" kind of way, he genuinely wanted to see the server destroyed and he made a convincing case. Dkaih unbanned gamer, djente and riemann to help, then gave every single role admin permissions and pinged everyone saying "THIS HAS BEEN A SKAKID PRODUCTION". The server was nuked completely. Every channel, every message, every role, was wiped from the face of the server and resulted in us losing most of the history that took place before this. Luckily moe and candy were able to rebuild the server in a short amount of time and soapkiller and caskain were given admin for helping against the nuke.
This marked the end of an era for Irony Hub, everyone forgot about the drama and focused rebuilding the server. And so, the Old Testament ends.
The New Testament
Chapter 5: The Golden Age
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the nuke, Irony Hub was in a weird state of calm once the server had been rebuilt. To the extent that one wouldn't even notice the server had been nuked until reading announcements. Everyone seemed to forget about all the previous drama and saw this as an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and rebuild a better server from the nuclear ash that was Irony Hub's remains.
LTC drama resurfaces - August 28, 2020
What a way to start off a supposed "Golden age" lol. but trust me, apart from this, late August - November was the most peaceful time IH has ever had. On August 28th LTC brought up the old drama again on another server called "Federal Troll Agency" (or FTA), which caused the members of that server to attack the Irony Hub mods and the owner to hate Weezor over his handling of the situation back then. Many arguments on the FTA ensued while IH mods tried to defend themselves. LTC was later banned from the FTA for reasons i cannot state here which seemed to dissolve the situation.
Irony Hub hits 2000 members - August 29, 2020
Irony hub originally hit 2k before the dkaih nuke, but lost around 600 members afterwards. August 29 marks the day IH officially hit 2k.
Mascot Change - August 30, 2020
A contest was held to create a new icon for the server, as most agreed that the old icon (blue meat boy) sucked ass. The winner of the contest was an icon featuring a high-res drawing of popular meme/circlejerk in the server at the time, Sillytime. The redraw was created by user LayLasagna and has been used as the server mascot ever since.
Penez chimp event - September 2, 2020
This was an event where Weezor let notorious user "Doctor Penez" ping everyone for what he thought would be a funny event/joke. This caused some users to get upset as Penez is considered to be literally satan in IH as users there believe he was the downfall of OkBR3.
LTC drama ends - September 4, 2020
This is the date of the last known DM conversation between an irony hub mod and LTC regarding the drama. LTC hasn't involved herself with the server since.
4th role added - September 14, 2020
Before this day, Irony Hub had 3 activity roles, "Trolled", "Trolling" and "Trollsome". On September 14th a fourth role was added: "Was it Worth it?" as well as "Trolled" and "Trolling" being renamed to "Ironic" and "Edgelord".
Irony Hub hits 3000 members - September 28, 2020
Octrollber even begins - October 6, 2020
Octrollber is Irony Hub's way of celebrating Halloween. There was a banner and icon contest and a command that allowed users to "trick or treat" for new vanity roles using dyno. October is considered to be one of IH's best months.
Literally nothing else happens for the rest of October lmao.
Kanye Hub event - November 3, 2020
This was an event held to mock the US presidential elections, where Irony Hub was transformed to be themed around 2020 Independent presidential candidate and rapper, Kanye Omari West.
Chapter 6: Post-Golden age
First mod applications since august - November 5, 2020
Irony Hub holds it's first mod applications since the mod elections. Candy also steps down as admin ans leaves the server.
Krissy Bullshit - November 7, 2020 - November 9, 2020
On November 7th, a user named Krissy joined Irony Hub through the Reddit vanity link. They immediately labeled the server as "racist" and "transphobic" and was quickly banned after threatening to mass report. A user managed to get into their server where they found out she planned to get a 5k member raiding server to mass report Irony Hub. Multiple mods DM'd them attempting to dissolve the situation, though unfortunately they were one of the most obnoxious people to try and reason with, literal twitter k-pop stan ACAB nigga. This caused the whole server to be sanitized and put on lockdown for 2 days, causing users to become upset as rules on slurs and nsfw became stricter for a while to ensure the server's safety.
CommieDog promoted to Admin - November 9, 2020
CommieDog was promoted to admin for being a standout mod and helping a huge amount with the krissy bullshit.
Vanity link changed to "cum" - November 10, 2020
The vanity invite was changed from "reddit" to "cum" after a mod vote due to dogelore no longer having it and the need for the old link to be changed.
