IPA

The **IPA,** which stands for **Internet Protection Alliance**, is a coalition between the Anti Bot Federation and The Watching Eyes, and until very recently, the Anti Horny Alliance as well. It was formed around July 2022, in the aftermath of the November 2022-July 2022 coma. Mixed Biscuit decided it was a positive step to raise moral and summoned every group that was an ally of the Anti Bot Federation into one alliance. The actual essence of the IPA is in a group chat on Discord, group chats have a maximum of 10 members - which means at the time of its creation, 3 representatives of each group were to come together.

## 2022

Some ground rules were established in the weeks after the creation of the IPA. No group or representative of a group was permitted to leak messages of the chat into the public, essentially stating, that whatever is said in the group stays in the group chat. Mixed Biscuit added that the groups can vote to expel another group if its conduct is unacceptable or not in line with expectations, however this rule was never ratified (no group has been expelled so far, as of March 2023).

It was initially planned for the IPA to contain not three, but four groups. The fourth group was intended to be the Simps Hunters Guild, but it was discovered that they had disbanded shortly before the IPA was created. The name "Internet Protection Alliance" is simply the name of the group chat, and doesn't reflect the goals of either group.

### Initial IPA representatives

The initial representatives of the IPA are as follows:

**The Watching Eyes summoned:**

1. Glitch (founder of TWE)
2. Chromebooks are Trash (former overseer of TWE)

**The Anti Horny Alliance summoned:**

1. Duderinow (head of A.H.A)
2. "Stupid-idiot" (A.H.A administrator)
3. Tiny Communist Knight (A.H.A administrator)

**The Anti Bot Federation summoned:**

1. Mixed Biscuit (owner of ABF)
2. Yeetus (co-owner of ABF)

In October, Chrome left both the IPA group chat and also retired from the neon council, citing terminal illness as the primary reason. All representatives of the A.H.A except Duderinow were inactive.

## 2023

All IPA teams went quiet in January and February of this year. Mixed Biscuit became frustrated of feeling he was the only one doing the work in the IPA, and was following through with an experiment to see how long it would last if he completely matched his efforts with everybody else'. Absolutely no messages were exchanged those months, in both the IPA group chat - and all the Discord servers. On 1st March, Duderinow suggested that the IPA be dissolved as nothing major has happened. Dababy vaguely agreed, Yeetus strongly agreed and left. Duderinow also left, and the A.H.A was formally disbanded around 4 days later in an announcement in the channel. This meant that if either of the remaining group left, or a group were to be expelled, then the alliance would cease to exist. Duderinow left and all remaining IPA representatives were removed from the group chat.

### ABF Success

Around this time, Mixed Biscuit revealed the hype surrounding his viral DAN escapades - and how he will use them to benefit the ABF. A subsequent campaign involving these occurred and the ABF got over 800 members - becoming an overnight success, with a huge surge in members. TWE also experienced large increases in members, however this was more modest as the server is yet to be organised by Dababy and cleared for operations to resume - as of March 2023.

### Remaining IPA representatives

**The Watching Eyes retains:**

1. Glitch
2. Dababy

**The Anti Bot Federation retains:**

1. Mixed Biscuit (founder of ABF, owner)
2. Yeetus (returned after the ABF success)
3. Adam (general server coordinator/jailbreaking)
4. Stanley (programmer)

Additionally, the IPA had a general coding consultant in March that year, *Data.* Data does not belong to either group, but was part of the team, which is why he isn't in the list above. Data was removed from his position on the third April 2023 due to inactivity, having not sent or responded to any message in weeks. A number of members have volunteered to join the staff team of the ABF, following the March 2023 surge in members (700 joins due to a viral Reddit post).

## Proposed expansion

Mixed Biscuit expressed his wishes to expand the IPA with people with more specialized skills throughout April. As it stands, the IPA contains 6 members. Two of which (Glitch and Dababy) are inactive (until the end of 2023 and mid-April respectively) due to circumstances that were happening in their lives. Yeetus is currently not active to any particularly useful extent, but stated in 2022 that he is "periodically active every 2-3 days). Andy, Mixed Biscuit, and Stanley are the most active. The IPA has room for four more members (by nature, it cannot take more than 10). A best-case scenario would see it being maxed out by a representative from another server, likely the LLM prompt writing server, an additional coordinator, an additional general developer and someone with expertise in jailbreaking/marketing. Maxing out the IPA with these people by sometime within April/May is Mixed Biscuit's goal, though he has also expressed concerns that it is difficult to find people who are dedicated enough.

A similar goal is being conceptualized for the Neon Council, in TWE.
