>>59364204I dunno if I'm too drunk or just drunk enough to give the full story, but here goes.
So, once upon a time /wg/ would let the old thread fall off the catalog before making a new one. Then one day an over-eager anon decides to make a thread early. This thread came to be referred to as the Hell Thread/Nightmare Thread/etc. where shitposting and complaining was rampant and no actual work got done. Threads after that point started getting made early, once the thread hit bump limit. At a certain point it started getting taken over by a bot that automatically made boilerplate threads. The caveat was that it would only use indie chuubas that nobody had ever heard of. And any criticisms were dismissed as tribalfaggotry by hololive fans.
Eventally anons decided they'd had enough and tried making their own threads, refusing to use the bot-made ones. This caused the usual OP to throw a tantrum and shit up the organically-made threads while samefagging his own to make it seem like his were the "true" threads. It didn't work, and we started getting hololive OPs again. This was the "first ousting," so to speak.
But that just led to the bot using hololive OPs while still doing its usual bullshit. /wg/ still had no control over its new threads, and the schizo OP still had control.
This all changed when the Writing Rumble happened.
Anons decided to hold a thread-wide writing contest to try and bring in new blood. They wanted to include information on it in the OP, but the OP and the anon behind it wouldn't add it himself. So they decided to do it themselves and started making their own threads again. The OP schizos response was to make like a dozen /wg/ threads clogging up the catalog and try to paint the entire thing as an attention-whoring tactic by /wg/ to get people to pay attention to them, souring the rest of the board's opinion of us and torpedoing any chances of new people coming in.
This was the point where /wg/ collectively decided they'd had enough. They started making their own threads again, making sure to show that the thread was made by a real person and not a bot. And if a bot thread was ever made, people would ignore it and make a second one that everyone would use despite it being made later. This was the "second ousting." And unlike the first time, it seemed to finally break the schizo for good, possibly after a ban, and we've had human-made threads ever since. And also a dramatic decrease in shitposting/aggroposting/overall low-quality posts. Possibly because the OP schizo was the one shitposting in a dedicated attempt to lower thread quality for some pathetic reason.
tl;dr /wg/ once had some asshole controlling the OPs and shitposting, and now he's gone
