MicroPenis Gaming Server

## History

### Early History

The history of the micropenis gaming server begins with the work of dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers and engineers who developed new technologies that eventually merged to become the “information superhighway” we know today as the internet. Two of the most influential features of the internet were online video games and video chatting.

Several dudes from Neenah combined these two features while using the Social Media application "Discord" by hosting a 10 member call, nicknamed WebCamBoys DM, in order to talk in real time while playing video games (at the time mainly League of Legends). It was a large improvement over previous gaming chat methods such as skype or Curse Voice. The call was limited to only 10 members so the members had to be removed and added depending on who would be online at any point in time. With the creation of the Discord server, League Night at the Apollo, the original 15 or so members were able to join a single voice chat room, titled "CLICK HERE TO JOIN VOICE CHAT" for the less tech savvy. At the time, server chat rooms did not allow users to share video, share screen, or stream their games. This server was lazily moderated and deemed less practical than the original call and so WebCamBoys DM continued to be the primary means of communication while gaming. A young, up-and-coming blitzcrank player had a vision of what the server could become, creating a new server with specific text channels "for memes or planning shit" ~Cho 02/07/2019.

The turning point in the history of the MicroPenis Gaming Discord Server was the moment that Server Voice Chats gained the functionality to stream user video. It was immediately adopted as a superior alternative to "The Call" because it could house more members and still provide video communication. While still primarily used for league of legends and occasionally sports (football games, nascar races, etc.) anyone could invite additional people at will so the server began to grow slowly.

### Covid-19

Covid was a catalyst for growth in the discord and made the server what it is today. People who would normally hang out in person shifted that activity to the discord server and actively developed new activities to do with the group while maintaining their social-distancing. Weekly Bachelor(ette) viewings, Among Us Nights, Mario Kart Nights, movie nights, Tier Lists (and corresponding discussions) and Virtual Drinking Game Nights were all developed during the pandemic.

### GME

Gamestop stock volatility led to the reluctant creation of the Stonks channel which was at the time criticized by Cho for not having potential.

### April Fool's Day 2021

Cho thought it would be funny to go macro for the day, removing the familiar text and voice channels at precisely 12:00 AM central time. It is unclear what the lasting effects of this reckless act will be. Some are speculating that this will lead to the removal of Cho as Sole Moderator and moving to some sort of representative democracy or even the death of the server.
