I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don't know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.

Give me the lore, baby

    @WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net the mystery emote was the original DPRK Soldier JPEG (which I have), which was actually 53kb but horrendously malformed (through text editing, IIRC). The site would get stuck trying to render it since you can technically render it through imagemagick (in the same way that certain types of mangled html can technically render in your browser) but it takes a lot of processing time to render it due to the aforementioned mangling. The creator sent out a MEGA link with the original file to people who asked and I yoinked it and popped it into the emote repository for the bit under :mystery-emote:
