ICU was | ICU 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 ch2, became the server known as ICU that we see today. Will h assumed ownership, and the server officially opened January 24th. Ch1 was eventually archived and its ownership was passed down to various admins until Veridis assumed ownership and ultimately deleted the archived server. | ||

Prior to the events of May 1st, will h had transferred ownership of the server to Edge, as the former had largely become inactive. Additionally, on May 1st, a new wave of trial mods, including sm0nky, willyum, nxc (known as bath at the time), overo and [[Cmaj7b11]] were appointed. | ||
Later that | 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. | ||
After nxc was demoted from trial for aforementioned leaks, most of the team had left the server, and the remaining trial mods were immediately promoted to full mods in their place. 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. | After nxc was demoted from trial for aforementioned leaks, most of the team had left the server, and the remaining trial mods were immediately promoted to full mods in their place.
