As a result, it has a distinct userbase, with most of its active users not overlapping with other irony servers. | ||

I.C.U. was originally founded as the second iteration of the r/comedyheaven discord server. The continuing tensions between [[omen]], the owner of the first Comedy Heaven server (CH1), and many of the server/subreddit mods eventually cause them to officially move to a new server, moving the subreddit association with them. This server, known as Comedy Heaven 2, became the server known as I.C.U. that we see today. It was created by [[will h]] on July 26, 2019, later becoming the official server of r/comedyheaven on January 24, 2020. CH1 was eventually archived and its ownership was passed down to various admins until Veridis assumed ownership and ultimately deleted the archived server during the subreddit split. | I.C.U. was originally founded as the second iteration of the r/comedyheaven discord server.

Later that day, most of the members of the admin and mod team, as well as most of the older ch1 users, left the discord server following a mass burnout caused largely by drama surrounding the userbase's conflict with Nepu Phobia as well as accusations of mod abuse brought by nxc's leaks of the mod chat. Many of the users who left moved to other servers, some never returning. | Later that day, most of the members of the admin and mod team, as well as most of the older ch1 users, left the discord server following a mass burnout caused largely by drama surrounding the userbase's conflict with Nepu Phobia as well as accusations of mod abuse brought by nxc's leaks of the mod chat.
