For the first time since 2015, the annual WIDEVERSE awards show was held, this time as '''The Bimmies'''. Voting was done via democracy (and Google Forms) and was 100% legit and no tampering was found at any point despite rumors. | For the first time since 2015, the annual WIDEVERSE awards show was held, this time as '''The Bimmies'''.

{{Quote | {{Quote|When we founded BMW in 2015, we had very little, actually 0, vision on what the group would become outside of just have a group that played Rust. If you’d told me then that BMW would go on to bully a blind Conservative radio show host, bully Bethesda into sending people canvas bags, and accidentally becoming a “Nazi” breeding ground, well, Id probably believed it because that does sound like some shit I’d get up to. Frankly the fact that we made it this far in as good a shape we have speaks wonders about our core members. | ||

Last May, after the fallout with the SA Discord, I found myself wondering if I still had the old Tay Touch ™. So, I began laying the groundwork for BMW to eventually be handed off to someone else. I spent the next 4 months getting BMW to the point where I felt we could declare victory via BMW 3.0. From there, it was all about vetting a successor. Almost immediately two candidates jumped to the front: Alex and Peaches. Both obviously are super dedicated to making BMW as great as it can be, and last month I decided it was time to finally hand over the reins of this shit wagon hurtling towards the abyss. | Last May, after the fallout with the SA Discord, I found myself wondering if I still had the old Tay Touch ™.

In the wake of the [[Troon Uprisings]] and the final sever from SomethingAwful, a final rebrand was proposed, the finally settle the quagmire that had become the naming issue. Wideboys, taken from an offhanded joke in a PDF CST made collecting evidence from Operation Overlard about a screenshot that was comically wide. Tempus Thales at one point during the Uprising referred to the group as "The Wideboys", oblivious to the groups real name. However, despite the hilarity of the misunderstand, many felt the name was catchy, and with the WTT branding long needing a change, Taylor made the decision to rename. | |||
