Historians debate the exact beginning of the Golden Age, as BMW was only tangibly related to the WIDEVERSE in the early months. Also debated is the length, due to the 2015 Hiatus from September to November of 2015. However, as has been pointed out, a Golden Age is about the activity level and general enthusiasm of the group, and not necessarily the group itself, as during the Hiatus, COMMIE CREW saw a brief resurgence due to new blood trickling in from BMW. | ||
The age continued after the hiatus, with Taylor assuming direct control of the group and the Rust clan continuing its streak of dominance. However, after 10 months, the age would end after the failure of the Rusticity Clone server due to massive DDoS attacks as well as increasing infighting, later resulting in the [[BEEFY Troubles]]. | The age continued after the hiatus, with Taylor assuming direct control of the group and the Rust clan continuing its streak of dominance.

After the end of [[Clown World War I]] and [[Jack|Jacks]] return, right on the heels of [[The Sauce Affair]], the 6th Golden Age began. With [[AlexanderDeLarge]] now the sole leader, he brought back the BMW Calendar and the weekly schedule of activities. Movie night began again, and [[WEIRD WEDNESDAYS]] were brought back as well. Voice chat was active like it hadn't been since 2016 and a small group even began venturing back into [[Rust]]. | |||
