The final controversy came in the last wipe. Incidents were occurring on the server that resembled the earlier no clip hacks, with many groups finding their loot had been taken without any parts of their base being demolished or removed. Taylor convinced Moegex to install a mod that tracked usage of cabinets and chests to try and find the culprit. The incidents almost immediately stopped, until the day before the update, a majority of BMWs explosives were stolen. Taylor began the investigation but found that the mod to track such thievery had been disabled, because of complaints of "lag". These complaints never seemed to have been voiced to anyone but BTK and nobody in BMW or others had experienced it. Regardless, TSBS launched a full scale raid on the DREADFORT as Taylor was doing the weekly tear down of the DREADFORT.

Bishyaler offered to rehost the Goon server under the new name of [[THUNDERDOME(server)]]. Capitaler gave up his leadership position because of multiple reasons, including he was in no way interested in playing on a Goon server. The project floundered but kept interest in Rust to a certain level. | Bishyaler offered to rehost the Goon server under the new name of [[THUNDERDOME(server)]].

The hiatus started winding down around the end of November 2015 when Taylor began recruiting Goons to start playing again on the server Method Man was admin on. The first attempt was a total failure for a multitude of reasons. First, many Goons were only starting to trickle back into the game. Secondly, the DREADFORT was poorly built and even more confusing to navigate than previous incarnations. That added with the changes to cold that prevented people from teleporting right after spawning prevented the turn around during raid attempts. Thirdly, a super established group known as [[NAMBLA]] was already on the server and had much more time and resources invested into the wipe. Finally, the wipe week coincided with the release of Fallout 4, a major hype for BMW. The group died back down for a few weeks after this | |||
In December, BMW was able to come back officially. They had moved from Woofingtons Mumble to a new program called Discord, still under Woofingtons "Reticulated Splines" name however. They began moving away from the concept of a single giant base to a more practical and hard to raid idea of a sprawling compound and several offsite locations to store goods. These changes proved to be successful in the long run, but Terminus was proving to be a shitshow of its own. The owner was found several times in NAMBLA bases we raided, logged out, and it was quite obvious he was very close to the members of the clan. He always looked the other way when NAMBLA did something fishy and would never look into numerous complaints about them. The final straw was when Taylor attempted to counter a raid against a miniDREADFORT [[Prude]] had built. Taylor had snuck across 5 map tiles to find the base, and immediately after arriving on the scene, was hunted down and shot, like NAMBLA had known right where he was. | |||
BMW moved to ADOLFS, a modded server on a two week wipe cycle. It was almost the middle of the cycle when they came in, so the choices were few on where to base, but after the infamous 4 hour doorframe picking incident, BMW was able to secure a large enough site to construct a full-fledged DREADFORT. Resources were so abundant because of the gather multiplier that Rej took it upon himself to found the BMW Space Program. Wherein a tower was built as far as the game would allow entities to be placed. The DREADFORT was later leveled in the middle of the night when a group of aspies who were sitting on a giant stock decided to ree out and foundation raid the DREADFORT and leave an autistic manifesto in its place. A few Bimmers stuck around for the rest of the wipe to farm materials to strike back. | |||
Adolfs also proved to be a laggy mess (probably in no small part because of the 100,000+ entities that was the DREADFORT) and was prone to crashing. | |||
