important, and first of all: do not use this thread to make others uncomfortable or talk about actually private things - i want this thread to be a pool of information for harmless and sillyfunny things that happend in the past in this community.

apart from that, everything goes.
a funny situation, a meme, an inside joke, something similar? write it down here.
nothing is worse than being forgotten, especially in a community as old as this one.
if youre an "old botbr", active before 2012 or even here since the beginning, your input is especially appreciated.

dont be ashamed if you post duplicated info. things are just more interesting if told from different perspectives.

inspiration for this was "the botb iceberg" made by funute.

knowledge sharing is great, lets do this.

ill make sure to cover some of these in more detail soon!
(at least the ones i know)

documenting funny stuff is cool - i love how we have whole lyceum articles devoted to "the VavCo incident" and it was great how emergent that whole story was with relevant battles and all

but documenting drama would feel very strange to me, there's some stuff that does not feel like it'd be good to have written down in a more easily viewable spot, even if "it's technically available information if you dig hard enough". surely anyone involved or around for it would rather it be forgotten or swept under the rug and not like, turn up on google or some shit (worst case scenario)
