      What was the origin of the joke? I swear I was there for it, I just can’t remember why they did it

        On the old Chapo subreddit, the sub was made private for like a day or something as a bit. A very angry person made a lengthy text post that was titled something like “Closing the Sub as a Bit Was NOT Ok”

          Yeah that’s what I remember, the part I was missing was from someone else who commented that they did it because they reached 42069 or 69420 members. I mean I knew it was something ridiculous but I forgot it was THAT ridiculous. Those were the days

            Yeah, that place still had a bit of the reddit stench on it, but its heyday was probably the most active I was on that web-site. So many great posters.

            Maybe in the comments? It got pretty wacky in there. The OP I think was mostly saying that it was debilitating to the members of the community that were part of vulnerable communities to close a subreddit for a day.

      I lost mine a few resets ago sadness it was only three months younger than the site.

      On the bright side I think I’d gotten a few grudges due to my prolific posting. Definitely felt like I’ve been received much more positively ever since I got this account.
