'''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. | '''The WIDEVERSE''' is the overarching name of the hundreds of people, groups, clans, and general parade of blunders from the past 20+ years.

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. | 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.''' | ||
