I.C.U., or the Institution for the Criminally Unfunny, is an irony server with over 6,000 members that has been growing for 2+ years. Its relevance has taken a decline in the irony server community since its rebranding and disconnect from the r/comedyheaven subreddit. As a result, it has a distinct userbase, with most of its active users not overlapping with other irony servers.

What followed was great chaos and a turbulent transformation of the userbase from ch1 users to newer ch2 users. Throughout this chaos, Edge retained his ownership of the server.

By June, the server had mostly recovered and had promoted some new trial mods, one of which was Disco, the current owner.

The Subreddit Split (or The Rapture)

Veridis, who had inherited ownership from Edge in July, and most of the subreddit mod team had determined that the discord userbase was unreasonably low quality and almost irredeemable. The r/comedyheaven admins had decided that they would have to disconnect from the discord server. Disco and the discord mod team were given two options: delete the server entirely, or disconnect from the subreddit and rebrand the server, transforming it into a separate entity. The discord mod team chose the latter. Therefore, the server was to be rebranded and would gain users from partnerships and vanity links with the absence of the subreddit. Before Veridis and the rest of the r/comedyheaven mod team left, Veridis nuked the rules channel, the sub channel, the announcement channel and anything else that was related to the subreddit. This was also when Veridis deleted ch1. From here, Disco took ownership and has held the position ever since.

After The Split

After the split, known as "The Rapture" in the server, many prominent members left the server: mostly sub-affiliated users and like-minded users like Veridis.

Comedy Heaven was left in a temporary placeholder state, and the discussion channel was open to all users for a time. It was decided through a community vote to go with a sanatorium theme with the server, renaming it "Institution for the Criminally Unfunny" (commonly referred to as ICU or icu). Two more events were hosted to decide on a server icon and vote emotes, ending on February 11th.

The server has since drifted away from affiliation with most other relevant irony servers. The userbase and culture in ICU is unique and vibrant today.
