** Ankhor and Platine Mapping two of the main leaders of the 2nd TMC have a fight over how the community should be run and how it will be run in the future and the solutions to the key issues of TMC. Platine demoted Ankhor Mapping after there Argument on Skype. Many mappers on TMC supported Ankhor more then Platine so they began to protest Platine and also the fact that Platine promised elections that never came. After a few hours TMC was full of spam and arguing over the Ankhor issue and many mappers thinking that TMC was falling apart again left the community to make there own and some members even called for an uprising. The moderators soon stepped in and deleted most posts and Ankhor was promoted back, ending the chaos and bringing back order. The mods decided to have a massive election that would decide what members would be promoted to mods in 2018 and what mods would be demoted and many members suspect there may be a purge.

* The 2nd January Uprising
** TMC the largest community for mappers on the internet was overrun with infighting. Proxima had recently lost elections and had his Mod status removed. Proxima then got his fanbase to protest his demotion on TMC. Proxima fans began to spam TMC and start a "rebellion" posts defending Proxima were deleted by the administration. This only caused more members of TMC to support Proxima. Many members called for the administration to be reorganized and for more elections and freedom. Imperialis a TMC mod took matters into his hands and did so. He demoted a large amount of mods and promoted many members to mods. Imperialis never got approval from Cheezewafflz mapping to do so. Cheezewafflz then demoted Imperialis and Ankhor mapping for not consulting him about making this decision. This led to a 2nd revolution against Cheezewafflz. To protect himself Cheezewafflz reorganized the administration again demoting and promoting mods and members. Ankhor mapping getting demoted made him quit mapping. Many other popular mappers followed and that made there fans quit creating a chain reaction that lead to hundreds of mappers quieting and then their friends quieting. Many members of TMC left and many made there own communities.
