So, you've stumbled upon our little slice of Purgatory have you? Well Dante, you're in for a world of stuff. Mostly autism, but a little bit of friendship (but 99.999% autism). So sit back, maybe get a HOT slice of pizza from the mall, and get to know what your therapist will be hearing about in 6 months.

Man, what the HECKIES is The WIDEVERSE?

This might help explain some things but probably not.

The WIDEVERSE is the overarching name of the hundreds of people, groups, clans, and general parade of blunders from the past 20+ years. Beginning life as a Runescape clan in 2003, it morphed into COMMUNISM in 2007 when Shelarahn, one of the original founding members, moved to World of Warcraft. It was here the real history The WIDEVERSE began, with the trolling rich environment of COMMUNISM serving as a launching board for all manner of shenanigry. The next 7 years were a tumultuous time of drama and falling outs between several different WoW guilds, including the infamous Friend Zone, until Shelarahn took control of COMMUNISM, leading it into its short lived revival until 2015, when in conjunction with 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) under the name BMW. The group renamed twice afterwards, first to Wrongthink Tank (shortened not long after to WTT) then finally to Wideboys, which is arguably the coolest name possible.

With the downturn in general of both mainstream culture, and internet culture, the WIDEVERSE has taken a different route, branching into content creation in Appalachia as well as creating a real life social network for young men in the Knoxville area under the collective name of widehaus.

The BEEF STREAM

A weekly stream hosted by Taylor, Prude, Tony, and Solgnir breaking down news both international and WIDE, as well as special guests from other notable members, as well as city reviews, anime and game reviews, and general banter. After the stream, there's (sometimes)(usually on a different night) a late night viewer driven AFTER DARK segment where the boys hang out with Biggers and viewers and game and just chitchat and say gamer words.

There's also a sports show.

As of early 2025, all 3 shows are on indefinate hiatus'.

Whole WIDE Woods/Young Cardinals

Taylor's solo project wherein he just does stuff in the woods, takes pictures, and writes about stuff. It's interesting go read/watch it!

SCJP

Now LEGALLY speaking I cannot make the claim that "The SCJP will conquer all of East Tennessee for the Glory of Christ." I can however, IMPLY it, which I'm going to do. And realistically whos going to stop us? Knox County Mayor Glenn "The Big Red Machine" Jacobs aka WWE Superstar Kane?

Yeah actually Kane probably could stop us now that I think about it.

I'm still reading because I'm a masochist and/or autistic, where do I go for more info?

Glad you ask! If you're a real pipe hitting gamer word, then you'll want to delve deeper into the history and information about The WIDEVERSE. Try the following links for some HOT LOADS (of info):
