August 6th Discord Nuke

The August 6th Discord Nuke was a major incident that occured in the TGDPS Discord Server, where almost all of the channels were deleted. On August 6th, 2022, Greeny, an (at the time) TGDPS Discord admin, got his Discord account limited, a user joined the server with the username "Greeny2", had claimed to be Greeny on an alt, and requested to be given admin since his main got limited.
== History ==
=== Beginning ===
Greeny was one of the most popular users on TGDPS. Many found him comedic and loved him for being chill, and making stupid yet funny sayings such as "ok but did" and "The J Hungarian". Unfortunately, he got his discord account limited, which at the time, no one knew why.
Shortly after, a new user called Greeny2, joined the discord, and had claimed to be Greeny themselves since their account had gotten limited. The story was very believable due to the fact Greeny had, indeed, had his account limited. The user then requested for Val (aka Val) (the owner of the discord server at the time) to give them their Admin role back. Since Val believed them, he gave them admin. Once this happened, the discord server was nuked, with Greeny2 allowing specific roles (mostly users with the level 5 role) to have administrator permsissions, meaning anyone could do whatever they wanted. This caused 95% of the server to be deleted.
=== DURATION + EXTRA INFORMATION ===
The incident lasted about 30 minutes due to the fact Val had gone away from their computer for a couple minutes, having come back to absolute chaos as the discord was being nuked, channels were being deleted, and @everyone mentions were being made.
Due to the fact completely random roles were given the Administrator permissions, it took Val and the rest of the staff about 20 minutes to completely calm down the chaos, find out which roles had administrator permissions, removing them, even to the point of having certain roles be DELETED completely for better effect in case discord were to glitch.
The server then underwent a temporary lockdown of about 1 hour, with only one channel open to everyone to talk in, with a 10 second cooldown. The discord server then went 'under construction' for the next 2-3 days, when it was later revealed to have been restored to it's former state, with some new channels added or modified.
This event made the staff realize how fragile the staff team could be, resulting in a system be made where staff members are assigned a password specific to them to NEVER share with anyone else (although this system might no longer be in use), and with asking members who claim to be said staff members to link officially affiliated social media that belong to actual staff members to their profiles.
=== Consequences ===
Due to many of the channels in the TGDPS discord server being deleted because of this event, thousands, if not millions of message logs were lost to time. This is specially inconvenient when it comes to recording these events and having them be documented here in the wiki.
Ultimately, much of the history of TGDPS occured inside the now deleted channels, resulting in the loss of said history.
It is one of the biggest events to happen in TGDPS, the most detremental one for documentation purposes, and the one with (probably) the most impactful way the staff handle things to this day.
This also caused Tal to realize how much he didn't care and how unmotivated he was about the Discord server in general, which eventually led up to him giving the Ownership of the Discord Server to Val.
=== Nuke Threats post-Nuke ===
A few months after the Nuke, a well-known former player by the name of Dino threatened to nuke the server for unknown reasons. He was eventually banned.
== Trivia ==
- Shortly after almost all of the channels were deleted, there was a replacement channel for general called "sfw-furry-rp".
