Despite his best efforts to reinvigorate the community, he was continually disappointed with the direction of the culture. Late in 2022 he had made the decision to leave by the end of 2023 if the community had now show any signs of progress. However, by late February, his frustration had reached a point that affected his everyday interactions, making the decision to step away early before leaving entirely. Taylor retreated to SCJP territory to plan his next moves.[[File:Nguoi-giu-hinh-bong-napoleon-tren-hon-dao-heo-lanh-134133.jpg|right|upright|thumb|An exiled Taylor laments the fall of his empire.]] | ||

Seperated from the main community, Taylor began to realize how far The WIDEVERSE had strayed from the original vision laid out by COMMUNISM years before. Together with other members of the SCJP, Taylor formed the [[COMMUNISM Reformation Front|COMMUNISM REFORMATION FRONT]] to attempt to force social changes to The WIDEVERSE. This was mostly succesful, culminating in the [[Night of Long Potato Peelers]], wherein SCJP loyalists rejoined the WIDEBOYS Discord forcing out elements that had caused rot within the community like [[Tato]] and her European friends. | |||

In July of 2023, Taylor was contracted by Kimsemus to provide outside help for [[The Enclave]] in taking down a [[KarlKaput|midtier YouTuber]] who was putting out propaganda against them. Accepting the offer, [[MOTHER]] as reformed as MOTHER Mercenary Group, taking MOTHER from its original purpose of guarding The WIDEVERSE and making into a mercenary group. | |||
While the original mission was a success, tensions between Taylor and The Enclaves officer corp eventually caused the partnership to be ceased, causing a rift between Taylor, Kim, and Capri, who was also involved. | |||

At the end of 2024, despite returning in the summer, Taylor lived up to his word that he would leave at the end of the year if nothing had progressed. With Taylor gone, the WIDEBOYS branding was stripped from the Discord, rebranding it to SIDEBOYS. The original BMW Discord was rebranded to Widehaus (Later The Wideboys) and only accepted the inner circle, show supporters, and those interested and involved in the East Tennessee Project. | |||

After leaving WIDEBOYS, the future was unclear. Prude presented a possible option in late January of 2024 in the form of [[Photo Friends]], a Discord centered around [[Steven Gindler|Steven "Cvatik" Gindler]], known Fishtank orbiter and photographer. In the beginning, The fit between Taylor and Photo Friends was seamless, their culture of trolling and irreverent humor exactly what Taylor was looking for in the post-WIDE era. | |||
However, over the months cracks began to appear, most notably in Steve's reluctance to allow certain pet lolcows to be trolled, mostly due to his crushes on them. By the end of Summer, Taylor had drifted away and eventually left. Steve would later accuse Taylor of harassing him, but no evidence of this was ever confirmed. | |||

In early 2025, after the failure of the Photo Friends project and the hiatus of The BEEF STREAM, Taylor formulated the idea of branching out into his own show. Based around the concept of his families ranch that he had recently returned to working on, Taylor launched [[Whole Wide Woods]], an "outdoor" show made up of different segments that mostly served as spiritual successors to The BEEF STREAM. | |||
In May, The BEEF STREAM was officially cancelled, making Whole Wide Woods the actual sequel to the show. | |||
