Deletiongate

Deletiongate, also known as 2/25, was an incident that occurred in the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki community where the account of the server leader StrawberryMaster was hijacked, leading to the deletion of #casual-chat and mass banning. The incident occurred during the afternoon and evening hours on February 25, 2024 (EST). Information on the initial hours of the incident is very sparse due to the deletion of all messages within the channel permanently.
After a large portion of the community was banned, a new server was created by admin Oil, at that point called HHW2. Following this, invites were sent out to former members to get people back into the server, and several non-staff, primarily Auburn/Blackford, Ashe and Sierra/Rosie were temporarily promoted to admin to rebuild the server. After the server was largely stabilized, efforts focused on regaining the hacked account and deciding what to do going forward from the attack.
