The 6th wipe caught BMW unaware, as Facepunch released the update very early in the day by American time. The first day was then essentially playing catch up, forcing the building of two shitshacks before finally building a DREADFORT at the airfield. After the disaster that was created in the wake of the previous cycles hacker explosion, BMW leveraged their ways into Capitaler being promoted to admin of the server. SPEED continued to be a slight nuisance, with periodic guerrilla attacks against the DREADFORT that only succeeded in cosmetic damage. Tays Fetish Chamber would also make its first appearance on this wipe. | The 6th wipe caught BMW unaware, as Facepunch released the update very early in the day by American time.

The DREADFORT compound was significantly expanded, with the inclusion of bases at the 4 cardinal directions, a [[FAUXFORT]], and the return of a Goon Rust classic, [[The THUNDERDOME]]. | ||

On August 6th 2015, BMW came back for its 8th wipe. Capitaler and Taylor had little hope they could bring the full BMW force back, so expectations were kept low. However, despite starting almost a day late with only 6 people, BMW launched a massive raid on the group that had taken the airfield, successfully taking it and securing the site for a full fledged DREADFORT. Quornes got super drunk one night and walled off the entire airfield, which became a major controversy among the servers population. To add insult to injury, a deadly obstacle course was added to allow adventurous players a chance to loot the airfield, assuming they weren't gunned down by roving deaths quad and snipers. BMW further leveraged their position on the server to give Taylor admin at the end of the wipe. BMW spent the rest of August continuing to bulldoze the server. | |||
Their time on Rusty Bottoms ended on a note of controversy however. TSBS had begun to reform towards the end of August. They, like BMW, had several admin members. However unlike BMW they were highly suspect in their use of both their powers and influence. The trouble began when [[BTK]], and admin and friend of Moegex, accused several former members of SPEED who had allied with BMW of hacking into their base. However, Taylor was present during the raid in question, and was able to prove their innocence. BTK, unhappy with being unable to ban them, forced them to not be able to base with BMW, who on the next to last wipe had built their most impressive DREADFORT compound to date, including the infamous pubbie rooftop zoo. | |||
The final controversy came in the last wipe. Incidents were occurring on the server that resembled the earlier no clip hacks, with many groups finding their loot had been taken without any parts of their base being demolished or removed. Taylor convinced Moegex to install a mod that tracked usage of cabinets and chests to try and find the culprit. The incidents almost immediately stopped, until the day before the update, a majority of BMWs explosives were stolen. Taylor began the investigation but found that the mod to track such thievery had been disabled, because of complaints of "lag". These complaints never seemed to have been voiced to anyone but BTK and nobody in BMW or others had experienced it. Regardless, TSBS launched a full scale raid on the DREADFORT as Taylor was doing the weekly tear down of the DREADFORT. Taylor and Capitaler continued to admin the server for several weeks after the majority of BMW had quit. Ashy however begun playing with [[Method Man]], the former leader of WU-TANG, under the BMW name. Eventually however everyone stopped playing for the remainder of the fall of 2016. | |||
