Meme Council Hangout

Every great Council has its origin story
== History ==
The original hangout was created by Spooderman the No U King as just a group chat for his friends, and Tritch on November 15, 2017, at 9:04 AM. This originally started when Spooderman and Tritch were the only two people in their study hall. Due to Tritch's unhealthy obsession with Sly Frog Fry, he convinced him to come to their study hall a few times. It was then decided that Spooderman should create a group chat on hangouts that involved the three of them. Eventually, more of their friends were added, and this original group, before Meme Lord joined, are now known as the Ancients. However, after a dispute with The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder, Spooderman got angry and didn't see it fit to lead the group. Everyone in this chat has been begging The Meme Lord to join for quite a while, Meme Lord only refusing as he didn't trust that the school might be monitoring the chromebooks, and he didn't have a desire to be in a group chat of people he didn't know too well at the time. However, after Spooderman came to Meme Lord personally asking for him to replace him as admin, he accepted, and quickly reformatted it into the Council we know of today. The chat was a rather tame, disorganized and chaotic group. Meme Lord gave the chat a purpose: To make memes, and to take over the school, from the inside. It was a joke at first, but in the future it would become a reality. Sort of like a cult, if we're being honest. The chat thus had a great burst of activity, now constantly active throughout every day, the most ever since its original creation. Rare memes were made and traded, sites like imgflip and Super Deluxe were discovered to make higher quality memes as quickly as possible, information on school drama, inner workings on the administration, nonsense, and general conversation were all shared consistently. A rank system was eventually made, and with Meme Lord's new rules there was less chaos, and more organized chaos such as scheduled meme wars, missions, and many well-crafted memes. Meme Lord particularly liked fine-tuning everyone's meme quality, and thus the roles and designations helped memebers specifically get incredibly good at making certain memes. 
The hangout lasted 5 months before the transition to discord. The chat never faltered and was far more "wholesome" compared to the modern day Meme Council. There was very little conversation, most preferred to simply post memes back and forth all day. It was especially active during study hall. The only real threat to the hangout Council was random people joining it by stealing other's Chromebooks, which people like Nocellan did frequently. The strongest aspect of this Council were the members loyalty to the Council and each other. Nobody ever desired to raid the Council, to throw each other under the bus, or even break the rules. The few rules Meme Lord set in place were followed extremely closely; out of the 16,400 messages sent in the Hangout, there were less than 15 swears ever said. While this Council was super organized and straightforward, and generally a lot more wholesome and friendly as previously mentioned, that doesn't mean there wasn't occasional drama. The biggest event was perhaps Alex's departure, which was purely due to Alex's distaste for people in the chat. This was directly tied to ghosty's departure as well, but ghosty's addition was more of an experiment, as he was randomly added and most memebers didn't like ghosty or want him in the chat to begin with. Alex was a longtime member, who was friends with several memebers. It was a shame to see him go. 
As more and more memebers were added to the Council's ranks, it became clear that the hangout wasn't going to be permanent, and thus eventually the move to Discord was made on 3/27/2018 during Study Hall. This was mostly due to Discord being a far superior application to host group chats, as it not only had uncountable customization options, better security, and nicknames, but it allowed for a full server to be made instead of just a group dm. The admins also had limited functionality on the hangout, as they couldn't delete messages, or do anything actually at all actually. Everyone had the same amount of "power", which was more or less limited to adding or removing people. The move was also made as news spread that Abington planned to eventually block hangouts, which they did follow through with the following year. Thus, on that same day, during study hall at 3:00 PM, the Discord was created by The Meme Lord, and The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder, Taken Bacon, Spooderman the No U King, Sly Frog Fry, Redneck Memer, and The Booper joined the first day. The next day, Grumpy Cat The Elf, Paddington 2 Woodenscottish, Harley Quinn, and PepsiLadd joined. One day later, Mike Kachowski joins, everyone successfully joining the Meme Council Discord except for Tritch, who was purposefully not told about its creation, and b00p Riff, who couldn't join due to mysterious "legal issues". The original hangout was never deleted but is inaccessible as hangouts is blocked on the school's gsuite google accounts. The Meme Lord was able to access old messages in portions through his school gmail, as apparently, gmail archives some hangouts. By pure luck, the first messages on the Council were saved in this format, and documented screenshots of the Meme Council formation were saved and archived. 
After the transition, the Hangout was still used, but it had become a spammed-out warzone. Spooderman, PepsiLadd, and sometimes Mike Kachowski and Taken Bacon would spam it constantly, for some reason the most spammed thing being the word "ok". Besides these few individuals though, most memebers made the full transition to the discord and never looked back. Some memebers returned for nostalgia purposes, such as The Booper, Sly Frog Fry, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder, Meme Lord, and Mike Kachowski. They would leave only a few messages, and that'd be the end. As activity dwindled so much, the hangout was getting around one message every 5 days, until it completely stopped on September 26, 2018. This would be the "death" of the hangout Council, only one message being sent in 2019, by Mike Kachowski, posting an image of choking Mr. Krabs as a joke. After this point, memebers would only ironically send new, up-to-date Meme Council memes, but infrequently and only for a few days scattered throughout 2020. The hangout would not receive any messages throughout the entirety of 2021, and received its very last message on March 15, 2022; Mike Kachowski sending a Gottem. A proper end to a dynasty. 
It was discovered that some memebers still had access to the hangout, as they had alts that weren't in Abington's gsuite in the chat. However this would prove to be futile, as on 2/10/2023 it was discovered they too, were blocked out. It is unknown if the chat was deleted, or simply now completely inaccessible. Fortunately, Meme Lord decided to use a pdf extension, and that same day he began to archive the entirety of his Google Hangouts via gmail. 900 PDF's later, and a lot of combining, the Meme Council Hangout Archive was made, a 5000 page PDF that had the entire hangout Council within. Additionally, the Secret Meme Council, Ranks, and other chats were saved. These pdf's were made available exclusively to Meme Council memebers. 
It all finally came to an end when it was discovered on 12/11/2023, that sometime within the past month or so, hangouts were no longer accessible by gmail, the archives of messages completely gone, thus rendering the Hangout completely inaccessible, unreadable, and very likely, deleted forever. Meme Lord's PDF copy is all that remains of this now legendary time period of the Council, and its only record of it's foundation. 
== Sub-Chats ==
Because of Google Hangouts limited functionality, entirely new group chats had to be made so the Council could have some organization as well as a list to refer to.
* The Secret Meme Council - A smaller chat with The Meme Lord, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder, Sly Frog Fry, Mike Kachowski, and, added lastly, Grumpy Cat the Elf. It was here where more sensitive information was discussed, such as figuring out how to ban Tritch, or which new memebers to add. 
* Ranks - A chat where messaging was prohibited, as it only was needed to display everyone's rank and nickname so there wasn't any confusion. Created by The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder and audited by both he and Meme Lord, this chat was constantly updated.
*The Black Council - ;)
