On New Years 2024, following the annual Year in Review show, Taylor left WIDEBOYS for good. Following this, the community was rebranded as '''[[SIDEBOYS]]''' and ostensibly removed from the mainstream of The WIDEVERSE. In its stead, '''[[Widehaus|widehaus.]]''' was officially founded to replace it. Focused on the trio of Taylor, Devin, and Tony, the new community was founded specifically for the WIDEVERSE's content creation, as opposed to the previous two decades focused as a gaming community. | {{See also|Photo Frens}}On New Years 2024, following the annual Year in Review show, Taylor left WIDEBOYS for good.

== | Believing that the future of The WIDEVERSE laid outside of itself, the Biggers embarked on an expedition to other communities as they had successfully in 2015. Prude scouted out a Discord based around internet figure and photographer [[Steven Gindler|Steven "Cvatik" Gindler]]. Initially successful, the Biggers made many new friends (and enemies), spawning a slew of new memes, bits, and wikiable content. However, early discontent with Steve himself grew over the next year, eventually culminating in Taylor leaving (along with several other Photo Fren natives) and Prude being unceremoniously banned. | ||
== Merger Arc == | |||
With the failure of Photo Frens, Taylor convinced Prude to merge the WIDEVERSE communities back together, bringing everyone to the BEEFY BOYS Discord, instead of the several disparate and dying communities they were segregated to. Along with the new Biggers from Photo Frens, the new community now called BEEFY BOYS + SIDEBOYS began to grow in relative activity. This was bolstered by the looming 2024 United States Presidential Election, culminating in a nearly 10 hour psuedo-stream (Taylor unwilling to actually stream it due to superstitions arising from the 2020 election). Gaming also hit a major upswing, but adhoc game nights sprouting up, organized Star Citizen salvaging runs ran by Mez and Doc, and the first modded Minecraft server in several years. | |||
The merger however was not all success. Integrating Taylor back with many of the SIDEBOYS eventually led to renewed friction between him and Capri. At the same time, despite recently premiering its 4th season, The BEEF STREAM went into an indefinite hiatus. | |||
