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 FUCK is The WIDEVERSE? = File:ORGCHART.png|left|upright|thumb|This might help...")

'''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]], our founding member, 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.
