I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don’t know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.

Give me the lore, baby

Historical bit: Shoutout to and the Kerryposters as well! I forget if the kerryposters were just mega-shitposters or actual wreckers, but the Silver legion guys (guy? I don’t know how many there actually were) were so fucking melodramatic about their wrecking attempts. Some of their self-aggrandizing quotes are still used as site taglines today!

My favorite one was when they gave a Hexbear apocalypse date prediction and then the site actually crashed on the date they gave

Oh god yeah those guys were great, that time they pretended that that PSL member who publicly left was one of them in disguise was also pretty funny. though it’s a shame she left because she seemed pretty cool

The Kerryposters were most definitely wreckers, and absurdly persistent ones at that.
