'''BMW''' is the overarching name of the group. It's an acronym standing for [[BEEFY BOYS]], [[MOTHER]], [[Wideboys]], although originally the name was chosen when several [[Rust]] clans from the [[SomethingAwful]] server, [[Goon Playground]], who all had car theme names (ie. [[FORD]], [[GM]]) combined forces and began raiding pubbies (derogatory term for non-group members). | '''BMW''' is the overarching name of the group.

The group renamed twice afterwards, first to ''Wrongthink Tank''' (shortened to WTT) then finally to '''Wideboys''', which is arguably the coolest name possible. We also have a political/controversial posting offshoot called '''BEEFY BOYS''' but we arent addressing that right now. | ||

Once upon a time, specifically April 16th 2007, the group was called [[COMMUNISM]]. Founded by a fat New Yorker named [[Spaceballs]], the World of Warcraft guild was the plague upon trade chat on the US server of [[Gorgonnash]]. In time, the guild attracted many of the better shitposts, namely [[Shelarahn]] who would go on to lead the group over the next decade or so, until they merged into BMW as the clan GAY. As the leader of both COMMUNISM and BMW, Shelarahn, now named Taylor, merged the two into one entity and one shared history | Once upon a time, specifically April 16th 2007, the group was called [[COMMUNISM]].

= OK, so what do yall DO exactly? = | |||
Uhhhhhhh....I mean I guess we're a gaming group? We used to be BIG into World of Warcraft, then Wildstar, then Rust, but we dont do any of those anymore. Mostly we're just a shitposting group who coincidentally plays video games. We dont do one specific thing we do a little bit of everything tho, and we usually go with the flow. BMW is mostly a member driven group, so if someone wants to play something or get into a new jam, we're there for it. | |||

The HNIC is [[ADL]], below him is a few mods who keep things in order: [[Prude]] is a chat mod and the coordinator of BEEFY BOYS, [[Orkle]] is also a chat mod and anti-coomer advocated, and [[Taylor]] is the community manager, BEEFYTV producer, and MOTHER director. | |||
