After [[MrDrunkenFox]] lost his seat as moderator on the staff of the forum in Spring 2008, during the administration of [[Conrad Slater]], it might be said that the situation began to rapidly degenerate, and the forum-goers became increasingly discontent with the way the site was run. Two main incidents following Fox's firing from the mod staff are generally attributed to the conditions which led to the creation of Planet Freedom. These two incidents are [[The Modsahoy Incident]] and [[The Perfect Poop Drama Incident]]. Without the over-dramatic titles, these two incidents simply refer to the time when [[Pimpsahoy]] was made moderator as a joke and the event in which [[ShadowWario]]'s vocal complaints spurred Conrad Slater to temporarily shut down the forum. Shortly after this, the usage of HTML code was suspended on the forum because of an incident of code abuse. Adding to this flames of drama, Mr. Slater also announced his intention to allow the YouChew Poop community portal's server lease to expire and not to renew it. It was around this time that a group chat on MSN was held between the forum-goers who would become the administrators of Planet Freedom. | After [[MrDrunkenFox]] lost his seat as moderator on the staff of the forum in Spring 2008, during the administration of [[Conrad Slater]], it might be said that the situation began to rapidly degenerate, and the forum-goers became increasingly discontent with the way the site was run.

TINS was immediately banned for a while before communication was established between he and Conrad. RabbitSnore, a new addition to the news editors of the forum at the time, lost his position, as well as Misselaineous who lost her moderating position for their support for Planet Freedom. All of them had administrative access to Planet Freedom, and all were entrusted with virtually equal rights to moderate and administrate. TINS was the unofficial leader of the group, and he was entrusted to deal with all communications between Planet Freedom and YouChew Poop. Many of the moderation policies of the current incarnation of YouChew Poop take their roots in decisions made on Planet Freedom, including the moderator voting system, in which each member of the staff has essentially equal say in decisions about forum policy. |

Soon after, the Vanilla layout the forum ran on wasn't doing it for the new administration (i.e., it crashed with when more than about 20 people were online at one time; it crashed for as long as 21 hours; its SQL databases were coded like fuck), and the forums were disabled about a week to the general public. When it was reopened, the new forum ran on phpBB3. [[Dopply]] and [[RabbitSnore]] had attempted to install Vanilla on the new server, but it crashed before it was even populated with users. It was then decided that new, more stable software would be put to use for a new forum. The moderators and administrators spent several days and hours installing the new software and arranging for the new forum to function. This was the first of many sleepless nights for the admins. When complete, the new layout was reminiscent of Planet Freedom, which had run on a free version of phpbb. | Soon after, the Vanilla layout the forum ran on wasn't doing it for the new administration (i.e., it crashed with when more than about 20 people were online at one time; it crashed for as long as 21 hours; its SQL databases were coded like fuck), and the forums were disabled about a week to the general public.
