      Reusing a comment i made a few days ago, “It’s based off r/195, which was a sub where the main rule was that you had to make 1 post before leaving, that sub closed down a few years ago, then r/196 was made to replace it. IIRC r/195 was originally for some peoples apartment, with the name just being their apartment number. Eventually other people joined in because of the rule and it snowballed from there.”
      To add onto that, r/195 shut down because the mods didn’t feel like running it anymore as it became to much to handle.

        The shut down was a bit more cryptic, after almost ten years they just said the “experiment is over” and shut down lol

        Oh, just found this write-up from the original creator, apparently people just suck: https://i.redd.it/lgpet1ydu2v71.png
