'''BMW''' was the central group | '''BMW''' was the central group of the WIDEVERSE after [[COMMUNISM]]s decline in 2015. Initially formed as a Rust group from SomethingAwful, BMW grew into a prosperous gaming group and Mongolian troll farm. BMW rebranded to [[WrongThink Tank]] in 2017, before shortening it to WTT in 2018, then completely abandoning that brand and renaming to [[Wideboys]] in 2021. Though BMW lives on directly in [[WIDEBOYS]], for the sake of historical record the group is considered to be defunct. | ||

Around the end of summer, Prude began reaching out to forlorn GBS Goons, starting what was later called the SA Rapefugee Program. The program was almost immediately successful, recruiting many active users into BMW that boosted the Pol channels immensely. | Around the end of summer, Prude began reaching out to forlorn GBS Goons, starting what was later called the SA Rapefugee Program.

BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever. Given the new nature of the group and its aims, Prude floated the idea of renaming to Wrongthink Tank on September 15th. The idea was very warmly received (outside of a few smoothbrains) and the old branding was mostly dumped, outside of keeping the BMW color scheme and still referring to members as Bimmers. | BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever.
