The Great Purge

Overview
The Great Purge (not to be confused with the 1936 Soviet political purge of the same name) of r/okaybuddyfortress refers to the September 2019 deletion of all r/okaybuddyfortress material up until that point. There was a brief panic over the lost posts, along with several shitposts, until the sub's admin returned and restored most of the lost posts.

Background
Not much is known at present about the events leading up to the purge. Up until the deletion, there was nothing to suggest that there would be a total genocide of the quality, boomer-free content that had graced the subreddit and, let's be honest, the entirety of the comedy graveyard that is reddit. Historians are still working to uncover the reasons.

The Fateful Day
On an unknown September day, 2019, a mod suddenly snapped and embarked on a wide-scale, systematic elimination of all r/okaybuddyfortress material up until that point. All of the sub's beloved characters, including resident crayon expert Rupert, tragically lost their lives to the rogue mod's destructive desire to decimate all posts on the subreddit.

Additional casualties included most of the subreddit mods, who were cast down from their lofty positions and were forced to once again taste the bitter earth of normal subreddit purusers.

The Aftermath
Subreddit denizens were understandably confused and shocked by the wholesale deletion of the subreddit's material. The subreddit was briefly comprised only of posts decrying, or celebrating, the genocide of content on the subreddit. It seemed as though the subreddit would be cast into a cultural abyss, lacking the OC that defined it, until God (also known as u/robloxxdddd) returned and restored those characters and creations that had been lost. r/okaybuddyfortress was restored almost intact, and there is little today on the sub that reminds us of the tragic event except for the first post-purge creations posted to fill the void.
