The Incident

In a recent /cyb/ /sec/ thread one anon asked about the incident. This is controversial, should we add a page on the topic? Below some notes while I try to figure out what happened, searching Desuarchive.

Notes

Desuarchive shows the /cyb/ generals ran from 2014 until the incident in 2021. The first post is dated 2014-03-05 and refers to Cyberpunk which started 2014-02-05. The first Cyberpunk general was dated 2013-01-21.

Timeline

  • range banning /sec/ posters was mentioned.
  • an irrecoverable purge was mentioned 2021-08-17, the incident must have taken place earlier.
  • a dispute if there was a purge vs. /cyb/ never existed 2021-07-26
    • "Cyb died because there wasn't anything cyb related to talk about, other than posting pictures why does it need a general? It's literally /fa/"
  • normal thread reaching 313 posts dated 2021-07-21; the next expired after 35 posts.
