I always assumed that KiA2 was a backup in case KiA would go down, but apparently there's a deeper story to this?

Oh damn, that's actually a pretty intense story. I was expecting something along the lines of KiA2 just grew popular enough that it became its own thing. Didn't expect the whole politics and abuse of power portion of it.
It goes a lot deeper than even that. It was a story that started in Year 1 (Hat and the SocJus ban, "Core GG," etc.) that just kept having blowups quarterly until it finally exploded violently for nearly a year. I could probably write a multi page essay on just the random bits I remember.
During the early days of KIA2, a huge portion of the subbase were people banned (rightfully or not) from KIA1, which is one reason why they hate this place so much. It undermined their control.
The only reason I won't, is because I have little in the way of "proof" because I didn't save anything and am only going off memory, which isn't the most reliable.
I don't want to end up feeding misinformation basically. The most recent stuff anyone could do fairly well, but the ancient stuff (that is important background and foundational material) I have been corrected on before due to my iffy memory.
Antonio would be a better author, because he is autistic enough to have kept a lot of archives to provide evidence. He has done so a few times on reddit.
You should if you ever get around to it. I feel like internet history is a neglected part of history and should be a field of study just on its own.
I study this.
AoV of course declared me PE #1 at one point.
