History of 4chan's /qa/ - Question & Answer board

>why am I writing this

Personal endearment.

>but why?

Arguably the most revisioned board history on the site, with years worth of accumulated misinformation and disinformation. I'd rather this not continue.

>well then, what is it?

An offtopic & meta community composed of posters from disparate origins that died prematurely due to aggression from off-site cliques. Then it became something else entirely.

>status?

Evidence gathering done at say, 85%, missing only some modposts, hiroyuki threads and a bit of what happened in 2020-2021. What's left is writing the actual essay, mostly along the lines of "how the fuck can a single board have so many stillborn communities" ALSO: Cutting the fat on people-related links, this is not about weirdo birdwathcing

/qa/ Historiographic Summary

Rough breakdown of periods & core points

Meta Period (2015/01-2016/09)

  • Stragglers from moot's big AMA stream reminisce on nostalgic memories and ponder what to do with the board. The /qa/ charter gets drafted.
  • Within a couple months the honeymoon period ends and the board slows down, most posters leave, /qa/ becomes a rather dense den of metaposting.
  • Hiroyuki's acquisition is announced and the board's activity springs to life. /qa/ coalesces into a small collection of meta aficionados, karens crying to the mods and anons looking for an off-topic board that wouldn't get swarmed with weirdos and porn. Most generals get created.

Off-Topic Period (2016/09-2017/09)

  • Sweeping site changes on 4chan's 13th birthday, Hiroyuki's fearmongering, the 2016 US election, the firing of Anonymous-San, a badly timed April's Fool joke and finally the listing of /qa/ cause a massive increase in activity[1] causing generalized chaos and destabilizing regular threads.[2]. By 2017, the forum registers on the map of multiple off-site cliques whose origins lie between disparate board cliques, chatgroups formed out of generals and the /jp/ Spin Off webring. They discover that /qa/ is, moderation wise, an off-topic SFW board[3]; Raids and angry protests ensue.[4][5]

Great weeb-frog War (2017/10-2019/08)

  • No-fun-allowed rejects from the spinoffs determine to turn /qa/ into their homeboard by aggressively botting up the place and gaslighing all passerby. They are resisted by an equally intense group of locals who adopt /pol/'s smug frogs as their callsign.[6]; This years long flamewar practically depopulates the board.[7], deteriorating in quality and quantity until both sides were reduced to a couple schizophrenics screaming at ghosts.[8]

Second Meta Period (2019/09-2020/03)

  • Mods enact draconic measures that effectively end bumpbots and "/jp/" spam,[9][10] exiling the #qa clique for good and stopping some of the more agressive frogposters. Frogs settle down into /bant/-like frogposting☼ and meta threads thrive once again.☼
  • A slow but steady influx of offtopic posters develops into a small blogging culture.

Soijak Raids & freezing. (2020/04-2021/11)

  • The lockdowns of the pandemic bring a massive increase of overall activity to 4chan that affects /qa/ by turning a collection of memes derived from /pol/, /v/ & /int/☼ into a thousands strong community of middleschool kids; They cause site-wide havok that ultimately gets /qa/ frozen.

Epilogue

  • All of /qa/ is concentrated on the 4chan Happenings General, which gets "adopted" by a mod. The general takes refuge on /trash/[11][12] and later /r9k/[13] and /bant/.
  • Soyjak posters migrate to their own imageboard[14] and continue their meteoric increase in size and influence until they implode and collapse into several discord cliques. They have effectively become the face of /qa/ in the eyes of 4chan.[15]
  • An injoke of an injoke developed somewhere in late 2023 from a soyjak thread into it's own website,[16] The Frog Pond, and later The Ribbit Rally.[17] Developing from ironic roleplay built from kekistani mythos; somewhere around the line this culture is "adopted" by an unusually intense anon who attaches references from (by now) old /qa/ history and rebranding it /qa2/, turning it all into one grand post-ironic injoke. The culprit behind most of this spinoff's content spends the better part of 2024 raiding /hap/, /r9k/, desuarchive, soyjaks and occasionally /a/.[18] The site dies on January 2025, presumably because Trump's electoral victory killed the joke[19]. On February 5 the spammer comes clean on /hap/.[20]

Demographic Summary

Regulars

Core /qa/ posters, the natural userbase of the board for good and ill
old /qa/
  • metaposters
    • 4chan trivia aficionados --> discussed their main boards, made nice map threads and dug old pieces of OC.
    • nostalgic oldfags --> mostly there to tell the aficionados how good they used to have it.
    • armchair admins --> countless foolish but well-meaning "how i will fix 4chan/my board" threads.[21]
    • internet hobbyists --> bibanon is here! - people who wished for a board best described as "/internet/ - Internet Culture" and found /qa/ it's closest equivalent, discussions about the role of reddit, altchans and /pol/'s cultural impact dominated their interests.
  • complaintposters
    • /DELETEPOL/ --> primordial fire of all 4chan metadiscussions
    • The 4chan Karen --> only here to vent and call people names ‼, but unwittingly acted as the greatest conversation starters on the board.
    • /a/fags --> technically Karens, but their numbers alone were enough to develop a persistent /a/ hatefandom during the early days ‼
    • Off-board Clique refugees --> Such as /gsg/ and /intl/ among others. Across the years several micro-communities took refuge on /qa/ to complain about this and that ‼. While not inherently a problem, these crossposters didn't find themselves obligated to respect the locals ♫
  • sfwofftopicposters
    • Off-Topic Colonies: At first it was [s4s] & the /a/jp/ general (soon to become neo [s4s]), whose influence was felt through exports in the form memes and namefags.☼ Other posters were ambivalent to their presence, but they were not aggressive and contributed large quantities of OC. Slowly, other groups, such as /co/ (Board-tans), "/jp/" (CSS threads), /jp/ (Touhou & Cirnoposters) & /pol/lacks (Election tourists) made /qa/ their home away from home. All the colonists got ran out the board by the end of 2017, either due to the speeding up, loss of interest, or creation of other boards such as /bant/. ‼
    • Board-tans General --> As drawthreads moved on to other fotms, artsy teen remnants of the /co/ 4chan House and the /v/ Winter Ball projects found the newly created /qa/ as a refuge to ship anthropomorphic imageboards undisturbed. Managed to eke out a good 2 years worth of OC and a final cross-board events of the Winter Ball 2015 & 2016.‼ Changes to /qa/'s speed killed the general by late 2016 and the listing of /qa/ killed Winter Ball 2017 by redirecting all threads to the now unusable /qa/.[22]
    • CSS/Filter Thread --> 4chan UI customization threads.[23] In some ways a /jp/ colony on /qa/. It was taken over by raiders from the spin offs. Here they developed the MD5 filter megalist.[24]
    • 4chan Happenings Thread --> A mix of gossip and meta thread, it remained oddly consistent for the better part of 6 years.
late /qa/
  • /bant/ / /int/ type frogposters --> With the spinoff bots out of the picture, the more unhinged frog raiders leave and the remaining frogposters settle down. They go through a demographic shift that sees them more in tune with posting habits you'd see in /int/, /tv/ or /bant/.
  • late offtopicposters --> Mostly new stock. Culturally very close to /bant/, casual, and moderately hostile to both frogposters and the kissu clique, but not afraid to post content related to either.☼
    • blogposters --> The majority of /qa/'s new blood from 2019 consisted of one-line blogposters running rolling threads, usually anime related,☼ but sometimes well adapted to board culture, ☼ not too dissimilar to /int/'s /brit/ or similar trends in /bant/ and [s4s]. ☼
    • Not a Happening General --> As soyjaks ate up the board, blogposting migrated in increasing numbers to /hap/. Eventually the situation became unsustainable and the /nah/ thread was created.[25][26]
  • late metaposters --> Generally veterans of /qa/ who survived both hiroyuki memeing the board and the great war. jaded as they get.[27]
    • (Punished) 4chan Happenings Thread --> A thread denied it's board. Took in refugees from every demographic as the board collapsed into non-stop spam while dealing with multiple problem tripfags. By the end of the board /hap/ was a multifacetic beast with competing points of view taken from all epochs of the site. It was the thread to close the door on /qa/ as the board got frozen.[28]

Personalities of /qa/

Not a tripfag list. These are posters known to have waged little personal wars against the mods and other posters, both homegrown and tourist.

Glossary:

*Never Named, wiki-only name - "Anon"

/qa/'s lovely band of crazies

  • "Remove GR15 Spammer" --> A single poster, possibly but unlikely to be multiple people, on a years long campaign to get GR15 removed. On /qa/ since early 2016.[29][30][31][32][33] Went on overdrive after April's Fools 2017 created /mlpol/.[34][35] Got ran out of the board a few months later.
  • Remove (You) --> For the entirety of 2016 and a good chunk of 2017, on insane anon demanded the mods remove (You)s from the site every week.[36]
  • Catholic Anon / Andy / Yellow Anonymous[37] --> Old /qa/'s lovely resident retard. First appeared in early 2016; Known for his rants about religion, /pol/ being infiltrated by nu/pol/ and Reddit (sorry, reddit) ruining 4chan. Managed to get all of early /qa/'s panties on a twist reaching a level of infamy that would see him still get talked about years after his age cohort left the board.[38][39] Became the target of harassment by a group of trolls that haunted him well past the point of amusement.[40] Moved to /bant/ in 2017 and became known for posting his waifu Junko Enoshima from Danganrompa.[41][42][43]
  • "Old /qa/ Circlejerk" - Gun Control Anon, Prose Anon, Meiling, Pikarifag & others --> Various personalities that surfaced in mid 2016 mostly out of trolling Catholic Anon. CA gets led on into a months long flamewar that took multiple threads several hundred posts past bump-limit.[44] GCA was a troll from Norway mistaken for female by CA who then became the object of his ire.[45] GCA harassed CA for months pretending to be multiple people and making vague references to steamgroups, claiming to have baited CA into steam and doxxed him.[46][47]. Other posters that trolled CA were Prose Anon, allegedly from New York & also female; Known for criticizing other people's prose[48] but being more famous for being an avatarfag for Luluco from Space Patrol Luluco[49][50][51][52]. Prose, CA, Pikarifag and others actually skyped.[53][54] The constant flamewars of these kooks incited other posters such as avatarfag Meiling[55][56] and even a drawfag.[57][58] Most of them stopped posting by 2017, with Prose Anon being one of the last.[59][60]
  • Pikarifag / sa.ge --> Arch-nemesis of REMOVE GR15. Or really just one angry sperg. In late 2016 he attempted to ask the mods for help with ponyspam and got rejected[61] then took the nuclear option botspammed Remove GR15 threads with broken text and images from various anime, but he is best remembered for avatarfagging Pikari from Amanchu!.[62][63][64] His antics resulted in a minor resurgence of the old /a/ Pocari Sweat meme thanks to detractors/circlejerks.[65][66][67] Hung around the CSS and happenings threads.[68][69]
  • asuka / asukaspammer ---> Avatarfag of character Asuka Kurashina from Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm[70][71], first spotted early 2016 but only truly active by late 2016. He utilized a crapflood script to wipe /qa/, then gloat after he gets nuked and 3/4ths of the board go with him.[72][73]. Prolific blogposter[74]. Ran the earliest instance of the bumpbot (rofl variant[75]). Coordinated spam with with the /g/+/ota/ raiders but never openly associated with them or the #qa clique choosing to remain purely anonymous instead.[76][77]. Publicly banned in december 2017[78] and while he became less active, and the #qa clique likely started copycat spam[79][80][81][82]
  • GR15 Defense Force / GRXVDF !!mQybBQsWzGP --> /qa/'s first problem tripfag. Donned the name in late 2016[83]. His claim to fame is the failed GET that unexpectedly became an infamous reference point for the start of the spin off raids[84]. Obsessed with bronies and generally a teenbro shitposter. Spun the narrative that 2D/Random saved /qa/ from /mlpol/ raids and insisted on it for the better part of a year while picking fights with the mods.[85][86][87] Befriended the Spin Off clique[88] and got public banned in december 2017; dropped off public posting soon after. [89]
  • /qa/doge --> Problem blogposter. First appeared 2021.☼ Avatarfag of Loona from Helluva Boss.☼ Obsessed with soyjak posters.☼

Dreadful outsiders ruining our fun

  • barneyfag / Lee Goldson --> Infamous /co/ spammer; an autistic who despised Barney & Friends and associated it with cartoons My Little Pony and Steven Universe. From 2012 onwards he imposed a reign of terror that spread to several boards including /v/, /vg/ & /qa/. Spent considerable time on /qa/ hunting down the local pony spammer ‼; He got doxxed in 2017☼ and likely stopped posting soon after.
  • leebaiter / leebot --> After Lee got doxed and allegedly stopped posting, the troll clique that formed around him kitbashed a leebot spamscript with image recognition capabilities hooked to the brony booru. The maintainer of this lee imitation bot began using boards such as /int/ & /qa/ as testing grounds.[90][91] Albeit there's argument that it's all done manually[92]
  • Anti Crack-Kun / ACK - Infamous personality from /u/. Formerly a guerrilla scanlator, he was a high functioning autistic with serious hangups about shipping. His condition deteriorated into paranoid delusions of targeted trolling, leading him to blame Team4chan for his woes. ACK turned to spamming both #4chan and /qa/ at several points in the board's life; a drama retinue that included other /u/ personalities such as !Akemi and warosushitter !!dApALfIDywS followed him around.[93]
  • unicodefag / foxe / leto ---> Notable scriptspammer from /trash/ & /bant/. Chiefly known for operating with a massive proxylist that could wipe an entire board in a matter of minutes. Has wiped several boards[94]. Attempted to bait the #qa clique into a flamewar but wasn't picked up on.[95][96]. Fell in with the sturdychan /cumg/ crew and by late 2024 ran the [CENSORED] ban evasion tool.

Raiders

Off-site and local groups who organized to bring /qa/ to it's knees one way or the other.
First Gen Raiders

(2016-2017)

  • "/pol/ bandwagon" --> The first group to pervasively raid /qa/ was /pol/, as payback over perceived slights originating from the also pervasive /deletepol/ threads. In what's essentially a months-long sore winner tantrum from the then most influential board on 4chan, teenage /pol/yps gloated to /qa/ddit of resisting supposed attempts at bringing their board down, winning the election[97], getting modcat fired[98] among other things such as falling for trolls claiming /leftypol/ infiltrated the staff[99][100]. As all bandwagons, it was intense enough to speed up /qa/ by an order of magnitude, but also short-lived[101].
  • /jp/ Spin Off Cliques / "/jp/" --> warosu.org/g/, ota-ch, himasugi, 4taba, no-you, /nen/, GNFOS and likely more.[102]. Spinoff-aligned posting and a hate of meta threads could be seen by late 2016-[103] These posters Invited the Spinoff communities between february and april 2017 during a massive shitposting spree, those that remained began by aggressive campaign to run all other demographics off the board.[104] Shitpost tactics included bumpbots (3 letters gibberish) and spambots (Suck My Cock Dude[105]). Some of the biggest names in the /jp/sphere gathered in a steamgroup chat named /qa/ for a while, but most left by the end of the year, with only a singular clique remaining.
    • Trevelyan / Trevor / T --> Admin of GNFOS & no-you, legendary /jp/ shitposter and spinoff pioneer. Visited /qa/ around february causing an entire mob to follow him there.[106][107][108][109] Returned to the fray in 2018[110][111] and a began project to make daily stream reviews on the /jp/sphere. Went just a little bit nuts over it.
    • Satania / Trevor --> Avatarfagged as Satanichia Kurumizawa Mcdowell from Gabriel DropOut (bruh) around 2017. Was confused to be trevor by local frogposters.[112][113][114][115]
    • ccd0 !!Bu9nPEv33rQ ---> Mantainer of the 4chanX extension since 2015 ‼, appears in mid 2017 and becomes part of the /qa/ steamchat. Later fell bed with the #qa clique[116][117][118] albeit they didn't agree in all matters.[119] In late 2017 he started interfering with /qa/ by adding popups discouraging meta threads.[120] and integrated tinychan powered spinoff imageboards into 4chanX's framework.[121]. In 2019 he forces changes on /qa/ to present it as a spin-off related board.[122] later advertising Kissu.moe on the extension as a pop-up on /qa/ saying "Stay in touch with your /qa/ friends",[123][124] earning an blanket ban on every mention of him on /qa/. ☼ Later that year used 4chanX to advertise captcha evasion methods and other spinoffs.[125]
    • !tEEnBROyBk / !NadekoX7Mo --> Exactly what it says on the tin. First appeared around April, posted only for a couple months. Made the Tenshi "Suck My Cock Dude" macro and spammed it everywhere.[126][127] Later made the history of /qa/ revisionist post.[128]
    • Cirnoposters--> The only group to actually come from /jp/ following a wave of touhou poster around January[129] Feeling they'd be more welcome in /qa/ than in a /jp/ that became dominated by topical generals and behaving increasingly hostile towards whimsical threads.[130][131] Rejected by mods for some reason.[132] Not bothered by other posters and positively engaging with /qa/, spinoff posters were ambivalent to them for not playing into their spam war.[133]. The same anon moves to /bant/ as soon as it was created,[134][135] and has remained there since, becoming a Discord clique.[136]
  • local resistance --> Many /qa/ natives spoke their mind on the damage done to the board but were unable to pinpoint who was responsible.[137][138][139][140] As such, tensions mounted until a sizeable "resistance" looking for ways to bait the spinoffs into flamewars began hounding their threads, mostly in the form of counter-spam.
    • "/jp/" dissenters --> /qa/'s meta side had a sizeable /a/, /jp/ & spinoff presence before the raids. "/jp/"'s raid immediately raised alarms among those familiar with /jp/ and they made their opinions known, to little effect beyond basically predicting how the whole thing would go down.[141] Their efforts often got them called concernbro by other spinoffers.
    • Easter spammer / "The" frogposter --> A 2016 tourist that made himself known through polite frog posting in early 2017. Never pseudonymous, but identifiable by image hashes, filenames and his ability to directly name spinoff antics, if not always correctly.[142][143] He has implied to be an OG /qa/ poster but he has never been spotted before 2017; His identity, usage of /pol/-type frogs such as the Easter toad and polite-yet-sarcastic prose seemed handcrafted to make spinoff posters as angry as possible[144][145][146][147] thought he was known to engage spinoffers playfully early on.[148][149] His MO consisted of trying to bait the cliques by waging a low energy guerrilla war where there's always couple frog threads on the catalog.[150][151][152]. The tactic was an overarching success that inspired many copycat trolls.[153][154][155] May have coined the term weeb mafia. [156]. Dropped off the board after /qa/ got listed, but sporadically visited.[157]
    • Small Skelly !!RAjBw+iGH/Y --> Tripfag from /r9k/, with some [s4s] and /jp/ knowledge, but not enough to know of spinoffs; an election tourist that quickly ID'd problem posters from /jp/ and called them out then spent the rest of the year pointlessly picking fights.[158][159]
  • Steamgrüppe / Steamcord & /mlp/ --> The April's Fool 2017 prank caused a short-lived raid by /mlp/, as merging with /pol/ to form /mlpol/ was the most interesting thing to happen to that board since 2015.☼ This was also instigated by a clique known to raid several boards but most specially /vg/'s /gsg/ - Grand Strategy General.[160][161][162][163][164] This is quickly picked up by the local remove GR15 spammer and used as a new rallying point.☼ The /mlp/ raiders proper moved to their own altchan that still operates as of 2025.[165]
Second Gen Raiders

(2018-2019)

  • Steamchat & #qa Clique / /qa/ Friends / weeb mafia / the weab / /qajp/ / !qajp / kissu.moe --> Eclectic mix of teenbro shitposters and no-fun-allowed neurotics. Toxic positivity aficionados who became determined to turn /qa/ into 2D/Random, citing a fantasy vision of old /jp/ (ironically, the same /jp/ teenbros destroyed) as their goal. They don't stand out from the rest of the spinoffers that visited /qa/ in 2017 until the end of that year, when they started calling each other /qa/ friends.[166] Either created or came out of a steamchat called /qa/ that gathered a large repertoire of spinoff personalities.[167] and the #qa IRCs on Rizon and sageru. Responsible for thousands of botposts over the span of 3 years. Only name those suspected of running bots or raiding, this is not a witch hunt or does bibanon encourage such behaviour.
    • Verniy / !HibikiZODI / hibikid / ECHibiki / ECVerniy --> Canadian developer, possibly of Russian origins. Tripfag & avatarfag of character Hibiki from Kantai Collection.[168] Earliest appearances can be traced to April 2017.[169] Known spammer who wrote the spellcard bumpbot.[170][171] Created an alternate 4chan ban logger.[172] Dropped his trip by 2018, can be identified from 8chan-hash filenames[173]. When rangebans swept and post deletions removed, created kissu.moe,[174] then spent months spamming the report queue with fake GR1 violations[175][176]. After the 7-day autosage was imposed, started spam-advertising Kissu.[177][178][179][180][181]
    • yotgo / !QAJP/YOtGo --> No-fun-allowed, passive-aggressive spammer fixated on removing anything that isn't /jp/-derived from /qa/. Spent hundreds of posts trying to convince people that "/jp/" never did bad for /qa/.[182][183] Earliest posts can be traced to March 2017.[184][185] Claims to have been on /qa/ since 2015. No evidence has been found (and likely won't). Early on he'd attack any /jp/ dissenter by calling him concernbro or spamming pictures of concern brands.[186][187] Created Rizon #qa and modded sageru #qa.☼ Reputed to be the most prolific OC producer of the #qa clique,☼ he also created the MD5 filter megalist for 4chanX[188][189]. Ran instances of the bumpbot and got banned for it.[190] Ran a weekly anime stream (that also got banned).☼ Later he'd become a mod at Kissu and began advertising that site's seasonal stream.[191][192] Forced the boson meme.[193]In March 2019 had a fight with another clique member, Atechan, that caused a mental breakdown leading him to run around the board accusing everyone of being Atechan.[194][195] and spamming threads to bump limit.[196] His hostility and general condescension towards everything not /jp/ saw him become the most reviled poster of /qa/.[197][198] Announced he was leaving the board in Aug 2019[199] but was seen doing his daily gaslighting a couple days later, now pretending /qa/ was depopulated without him.[200] For a couple months after being ran out, he's ad-spam spinoff links hidden among bumpbot imagedumps.[201][202] Determined to stay here forever.[203]
    • atechan / Rin --> Brazilian, very likely underage, and emotionally unstable. Known for manually bumping several threads and having emotional episodes if they were deleted.‼ Got in a fight with the clique around March 2019, the clique doxed him in June.[204] Had access to a IRC spam bots which he used to and spam the #4chan and #qa IRCs and the #jp IRC in sageru[205], getting the boson forced meme boson meme banned.[206]
    • jevin --> Seemingly harmless ☼, [s4s] speak aficionado ‼. Could have posted on /a/jp/? ☼ Likes frogs![207]
    • lowercase-kun / schizoweeb --> The angriest poster on /qa/. Appeared around March 2017[208], known for angry lowercase posting, marisaposting[209], and generally unhinged posts and throwing accusations of samefagging directed at frogs. Oscillates wildly between being genuinely angry[210] and going on elaborate stream of thought shitposting sprees[211][212][213] confusing frog and weeb alike.[214] His usual calling cards are combinations of subhuman, schizo and freak[215][216] His abrasive demeanor only got more hostile with time, even getting him disowned by the clique.[217][218] He later became obsessed with a frogspammer often described as "the freak" and hunted him down on every thread[219]. By the end of the flamewar he and The Freak had become two of the most dislike posters on /qa/.[220][221][222]
  • Frogposters --> is a group that was 100% homegrown really a raider? Due to !qajp taking the bait every single time, /qa/ developed a community of copycat frog posting trolls inspired by the antics of the original frogposter[223][224]. More destructive and incoherent, and likely less numerous, they'd occasionally try to flood the board with threads to 404 threads protected by the steamchat bumpbot.[225] Notably less polite than their originator.[226]. Thought they are not above classical trolling.[227] Slowly, their MO began to take a shape similar to frogposting see on /bant/ and /tv/.[228]
    • schizospammer / the freak --> Mythological poster that may either be the board's most prolific frog spammer or a boogeyman existing entirely in one spinoffer's head.‼ The freak in question is in the habit of making long gonzo-like rants with heavy use of /pol/ lingo, painting fantasy scenarios where the antics of the #qa clique are always exaggerated.[229] While likely to be one person[230][231][232], could have consisted of multiple copycats. Popularized the term "weab".[233] Freak-like posts got rangebanned in Aug 2019.[234]
    • "Weebspotter" --> Likely to be the efforts of a single poster. By late 2019, frogposting had mutated into stalker threads that blogged on the antics of the #qa clique and related posters. Short stealth generals where they'd (or really just him) talk indirectly without replying to each other, narrating clique activity in second person & crosslinking their posts; Trying to id posters without directly calling them out.[235] Probably, this was one out of the belief their discussion alone was enough to rile up the clique.[236]
    • atechan / Rin --> Got in a fight with kissu (surprising absolutely nobody), according to the more unhinged posters like yotgo and lowercase, is the person behind schizopammer.[237][238][239].
Third Gen Raiders

(2020-2021)

  • "Kissu Hardliners" --> Even thought verniy and most of the clique was happy on Kissu, one or multiple posters remained at /qa/ on a strange mission to convince everyone else their clique has only been good for the board.[240] Few believed their tale.[241]
  • /bant/ Cabal --> supposedly, the last pre-soyjak board wipes were made by a discord clique originating from /bant/. ☼ They can be identified by usage of real life photos (anathema to spinoffers) during crapfloods. ☼
  • Soyjak Posters / Soyjak.Party / the Sharty --> Remixes of a popular Soy variant of wojak created on /int/[242][243] becomes a sitewide phenomenon in 2019.[244][245][246] The presence of soyjaks on /qa/ can be seen infrequently as early as May 2019[247][248][249][250][251], however the primary factors for it's development are the sudden isolation caused by the COVID pandemic and unwitting mod action when redirecting meta-related soyjaks[252]. This led to such posters choosing to remain on /qa/ and grow in numbers until they reach a critical mass around April 2020, where they develop an unique culture.[253] This new board culture explodes in popularity & develops, with some exceptions,[254] into something completely disconnected from /qa/ proper, reaches critical mass and evolves into a site-wide teenage phenomenon marked by a complex irony culture[255][256] and their own imageboard.[257] Through inter-board raids and sheer numbers, they ultimately got the board frozen after running out every other thread except the Happenings general.
    • "/qa/ Archeologists" --> A subset of jak posters got interested in old /qa/ and started browsing desuarchive for tidbits, ghostposting along the way.☼ jaks managed to reconstruct a crude timeline of events, lists of names and phrases, enough to integrate then into the Party's ironic sense of humour.[258][259][260] Many old pics and phrases used by older personalities saw themselves reposted by these sleuths.[261][262] The extent of the act was such that OC in line with both frog and weeb MOs was produced.[263]
