This was the point in time when thread number 2 also known as the Dark Side started. Brayden started to build his own group for this mission, but one person in particular was Travis… (awesome kid) | This was the point in time when thread number 2 also known as the Dark Side started.

Travis enjoyed this Idea of beating the other thread and quickly got to work, but Travis’ ways were different. While the original thread had gotten to their point by conversation, Travis had a liking for spamming. With this spamming The Dark Side quickly ranked up over 500 replies in no time, but after that, it went silent for a while | Travis enjoyed this Idea of beating the other thread and quickly got to work, but Travis’ ways were different.

Some of the 9th graders experienced lag in different parts of teams they didn’t have before and attributed this to the mega thread. They didn’t know the danger that could come of such a large thread and carried on but with a little more caution now. They started planning out how they could end it in splendor and each of the 9th graders participating started to prepare a speech they would give right before the thread closed for good. | Some of the 9th graders experienced lag in different parts of teams they didn’t have before and attributed this to the mega thread.

An NSA student (whose name will not be shared) was secretly keeping track of the mega thread for security reasons. If anything happened, the thread could make teams shut down for days. This student warned CNST, who told Stuco, who was warned when the thread reached about 9000 replies and Stuco began the process of shutting it down. The thread, as one of the longest in NSA history, had the high likely hood of becoming an [[Project @tom Bomb|@tom bomb]]. No one wanted to accidentally set it off. It was completely shut down by the creator at 9049 messages. This number would become important to NSA history and to the 9th graders. | |||
Some of the 9th graders retaliated and started planning to go to war against Stubo! They began a chat called “9049 messages” or “a really chill gc” (this went through several more name changes, the current one is “Intentional Unintentional Omegathread”), for kids that didn’t want the thread to end. Most of Stubo was asleep so the 9th graders carried on without open resistance. | Some of the 9th graders retaliated and started planning to go to war against Stubo!
