    • The 4chan Happenings Thread gets remade in /trash/. A new saga begins.[231]
Post-Freezing
  • 2021-11-04 - An /a/ meta thread gloats that it can't be moved to /qa/ anymore and it gets moved anyways. And since /qa/ is frozen, nobody can post. It's deleted a few hours later.[232]
  • 2021-11-28 - Desumin disables ghostposting on Desuarchive's /qa/ archive.[233]
  • 2022-03-19 - A /pw/ meta thread gets moved to /qa/, then deleted.[234]
  • 2022-04-01 - A mod makes a... soyjak metathread? It's deleted later.[235]
  • 2022-04-25 - /qa/ Lost.[236] Desumin didn't like it.[237]
  • 2022-08-20 - Infamous /trash/ pedophile leto / unicodefag starts harassing /qa/ and advertising his ban evasion tool.[238]
  • 2023-12-23 - /qa2/schizo begins to raid /hap/ and many other boards and sites[239][240]
  • 2024-02-03 - a /vip/hap gets made.[241]
  • 2024-02-25 - Frog Pond spinoff creates /qa2/, basically giving the schizo his own board.[242]
  • 2024-03-16 - The 'ecker, sturdychan and Discord raids on top of the avatarfag situation make posting on /trash/hap intolerable, in a kneejerk reaction, a quick plan to move to another board is written.[243] A /hap/ gets made for /bant/[244], /b/[245], /trash/[246], [s4s][247] and /r9k/[248] in order to have them compete in a popularity contest. All threads archive fast except for /bant/ and /trash/. avatarfags hoot & holler as they may be moderated there.
  • 2024-03-19 - The contest is interrupted by a mod. /trash/hap and /bant/hap are swapped.[249][250] then the former /bant/hap is moved to /qa/.[251] Next day, /trash/ is back.
  • 2024-03-XX - /hap/ formally moves to /r9k/. The happenings thread on /trash/ effectively becomes a new Not a Happening general.
  • 2024-05-15 - The Frog Pond shuts down and /qa2/ with it.[252]
  • 2024-05-19 - haha disregard that i suck cocks[253]
  • 2024-05-28 - haha disregard that i suck cocks #2[254]
  • 2025-01-13 - The Ribbit Rally closes down.[255]
  • 2025-02-05 - /qa2/schizo, comes clean on /hap/ and admits to have been behind most (but not all) frog posts on the general. Ending over a year of pointless spam.[256]
  • 2025-02-14 - Endless discord raids cause hap to move to /bant/
