'''Whenthe''' is an ironic meme Discord server. It was originally founded in December 2018 as the second generation of the [[OkBuddyRetard]] server ('''OKBR2'''). It was rebranded a year later as the official Discord for the r/whenthe, a {{w|subreddit}} about GIF caption memes. While the Discord server and the subreddit are officially related, they aren't very close in character and many members of the Discord actually hate the subreddit. The server continues to be quite active, and the subreddit has seen enormous growth recently. | '''Whenthe''' is an ironic meme Discord server.

In December 2018, the token for Ohtred, [[Uhtred]]'s bot, was leaked. This allowed a malicious user to log in as the bot, and as the bot had very high permissions, they caused catastrophic damage in all the servers the bot was in, and ultimately a nuke in [[OKBR1]]. The bot token was leaked by accident when Uhtred accidentally uploaded it to the bot's {{w|GitHub}} repository without realizing it. The person who hijacked the bot is unknown, nor is their motive. When the bot was nuking OKBR1, there wasn't any staff online with a rank high enough to stop it. The bot would delete messages and channels and ban people. Before banning a user, it would DM them "OWNED BY OWNAGEBOT." By the time someone could stop the bot, the server was in shambles. And so, on December 30, 2018, [[lunar]] made OKBR2. OKBR1 remained a remnant of what it once was; it was later deleted. | In December 2018, the token for Ohtred, [[Uhtred]]'s bot, was leaked.
