vrg was never a group by itself. It was simply like-minded people from a 4chan thread on /vg/ hanging out together. 
I'm not saying it's the discords fault but the moment "/vrg/" became a thing on itself is when the group went to shit.
It fell further with spoonfeeding friends and non-vrg into the group via Discord, the covid babies getting VR, subgroups undermining the community (Halocord) and finally Dal causing a rift in the community paired with a conveniently timed server nuke to finally splinter everything.
There is no such thing as /vrg/ beyond the thread anymore, there is no "official discord server", what remains is a community born from the old /vrg/ but it sure as hell ain't the old group.
Ryder's attempt to keep the group together in his server would have worked in the old days, but there was far too much hatred, powergrabbing and shit from certain people for that to ever work.
The fact that the nuDiscord still has the same name and icon as the old group is an insult to what vrg used to be.
newfags work tirelessly on cramming as many events into each month in order to keep the group "active" when it never needed to be, as if it was some normie social group.

I hope you all burn in hell. Thanks for the good run, see you at the weekend, cheers kippis kanpai~
