The /nate/ War 2, best known as The Dust Wars, is the resulting aftermath of the Great /nate/ War. It is mostly a perpetual cycle of anti-gooners wiping the catalog, and a baiter creating a new thread every time. It is expected to go on indefinitely.
Prelude
See The /nate/ War
Beginning
With the previous two AGC victories, hype around the /nate/ War died down. The dynamics quickly changed to a lone gooner baiting the spammers.
The two main anti-gooners were Morgan Freeman and Babyposter. The main gooner was a baiter. After a week, it was apparent that /nate/ itself was dying.
Notable Events
Morgan Freeman tries to make the sticky lag by spamming spinning glowing copypastas with emojis included. This successfully shuts down the entire thread, until it all gets deleted by a janny the day after.
On April 3rd, Jartycuck posts links to /nate/ on /soy/ while spamming extreme bdsm with the phrase "List of things Soytan is built for". Never Goon Trump and Oekaki Spammer join back in.
On April 5th, Foot-fag and NuGayporn-fag wipe /nate/ with webms of gay porn. A soyteen makes a thread on /soy/ calling for a cattywipe. A spiderman poster and Never Goon Trump wipe the catty.
That same day, a mod locks the sticky, and posts a meme of SFW femROOT. The Impact Bold caption reads "ROOT DISAPPROVES OF / OF YOUR GOONING" Soon after, bumps are re-enabled. This leads to a spike in activity that sustains for many hours. Gooner threads still slide off. The same day, McCaptcha gets disabled for /soy/ and /nate/.
Intermittent Ceasefires
Sometimes, threads may stay up for more than 6 hours, with no spam occuring. During these periods, neutral random posts may be made. Conversations may also occur during these ceasefires.
