The Dust Wars was the resulting aftermath of the /nate/ War. It was mostly a perpetual cycle of anti-gooners wiping the catalog, and a baiter creating a new thread every time.
Prelude[edit | edit source]
Main article: nate/ War
Beginning[edit | edit source]
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.
Timeline[edit | edit source]
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 3, 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 an Oekaki spammer join back in.
On April 5, 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/.
On April 7, the sticky gets unlocked. Later, gooners raid /korea/, Shemmy's /nate/ clone, getting it taken down.
On the Sharty's /q/ board, two opposing threads are made a few days apart, both requesting certain changes to /nate/. The pro-gooner thread asks for McCaptcha to return, while the anti-gooner thread asks for a lower bump limit. Both requests are met, near-instantly.
On April 11, Morgan Freeman and Babyjak both switch to smaller images, both 64x64 pixels and smaller than 2 kilobytes. This is presumably to optimize the upload speed during spamwaves, while maintaining their identities
Intermittent Ceasefires[edit | edit source]
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.
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
Over the course of the war, the conflict steadily lowered to pre-/nate/ War levels, mostly due to the spammers realizing they cannot either lose or win. Somewhere around april, most of the spammers from both sides withdrew because of demoralization, and the gooner community slowly reclaimed the board by summer, occasionally attacked by a nuspammer.
/nate/ remained a NSFW board, and the porn and nuspam-filled catalogue made it a non-worthwhile board to post on for anyone. The war was shortly re-ignited during the time 4chan was down, but died down right afterwards. What's left is mountains of gay porn with nobody to fight it. The sticky itself remains as a vessel for containing the history of verbal conflicts, gore, and goon material, from both of the /nate/ Wars, if anyone could ever stomach all of it at once.
