{{See also|WIDEBOYS Community Discord}} | {{See also|WIDEBOYS Community Discord}}In anticipation of the new projects stemming from WIDE Media Group, the WIDEBOYS Community Discord was created as a new central gathering point for the community, as well as to address some concerns of those that were hesitant to bring in people they knew because of the insular and odd culture of the original Discord. The Discord was also intended to be the primary Discord WMG and its associated talents and show, in addition to the gaming community. | ||
=== We Love Fortnite === | === We Love Fortnite === | ||
Despite shitting on the game for years, WIDEBOYS became heavily involved in Fortnite in March of 2022 with the release of the "No Build" mode, segregating the Biggers from 12 year olds who only played the original Build Mode. Bucking the trend, Fortnite became a main stay for much longer than just a few months, and was one of the only major gaming events in the final years of the community. | |||
=== WIDEVANIA === | === WIDEVANIA === | ||
With the creation of WMG, [[WIDEVANIA]], a Vtuber agency, was founded with [[Doctor Coathanger]] as its founding member, who "redebuted" with the newer branding of the agency. [[Taylor Rahn]] would debut soon after, followed by [[Evie]]. A fourth vtuber, Nurse Kanae, was planned to debut but never did outside of a one off appearance during the 2022 Halloween Special. Taylor went into a long hiatus due to internet issues, and while Evie continued streaming, also soon abandoned. The entire agency was shuttered in February of 2023. | |||

2023 started rocky, with Taylor announced that he was immediately stepping down, and barring radical changes, would be leaving the community entirely at the end of the year. Prude was appointed as the WIDESTEWARD in the wake of Taylors abdication. | |||

To everyone shocked, ADL returned after an absence of nearly 3 years. | |||
=== The Schisms === | |||
With Taylor's imminent departure, he began lashing out at those he saw more or less responsible for the stagnation of the community. Most of his ire was levied at Capri Sun Tzu specifically, sparking the [[WIDEBOYS-SCJP Schism]]. The two would clash for much of 2023 until a brief ceasefire in July until September, when the two clashed again in the infamous CST-Taylor Summit. The two would eventually bury the hatchet in February of 2024. | |||

Staying true to his word, Taylor left the community for good on New Years Day 2024. The decision was made to rebrand the existing community to SIDEBOYS, removing the WIDEBOYS branding. | |||
