Doing VSB history is always fun.
I wasn't there for the great mutinity of Ant, but a similar event happened involving Bleach; A good chunk of Bleach supporters, including multiple to that time active Staff member and former ones, conspired to oust a popular and to that time well-liked member of the community as manipulative and pousing as female. A mole busted their server, resulting in 4 demotions, multiple perma bans and a forever stained reputation.
The catch? They were completly right. The user in question, Sera, was in fact a pouser and manipulator. They larped a whole ass family up, husband and inlaws included, who all happened to have a goddamn VSB account. Their ousting had huge ripples on the community.
Around the Bleach stuff, VSB suffered from systemic trolling by a group. The number of sockpuppets banned for trolling was at least in the three digits, it woudnt suprise me if they collectivly reached 4 digits. Gore and ** spam was the least bad thing done. One of them did post borderline CP. Ant probably had 50 accounts in his name that just posted **.
Then there is the Dread saga, which is simply the Sera situation redone. The extend of damage done with him was far less though.
