gollark: I forgot exactly what happened with the code guessing thing, but ubq was angered, people didn't like palaiologos's handling of the whole incident, and a server was forked off.
gollark: I've been here for several years.
gollark: I don't find your pictures "cute".
gollark: The code guessing competition started, because of palaiologos reshuffling event managers or something, and palaiologos was angered by the lack of C as a language option, yes.
gollark: Anyway, for a while palaiologos didn't do much. Then the first major bee event happened (there may have been others, I don't know).
