Because that kind of two-can-play-at-that-game mentality is an arms race to the bottom and a scourge on society and communities. r/woosh is better than that.
You know reddit's UI makes getting to old posts directly in reddit really hard. For instance, if you go to the main page of this subreddit and select 'New' (basically sort by date), and scroll and scroll and scroll, you will hit a hard cap of about 1,000 posts. That's on any subreddit.
The best I could find was a 3rd party solution: www.redditsearch.io <- this lets you search by subreddit and date range.
The search range I started with was the founding date, and the end date was December 31st, 2009. All I could find was that one post, so I walked the year forward to 2010: nothing, 2011: nothing, 2012: nothing, 2013: nothing, 2014: nothing, and then finally 2015: 6 new posts(ish).
Of the 6 posts I checked it looks like it was just comments in different subreddits linking to this subreddit. I think the oldest of those comments was from February 2015.
The other subreddit is 'woooosh' according to other comments in this thread. According to its page it was founded on Nov 1st, 2016. Using that same search tool, it seems like it got used almost immediately after being founded.
No, r/woooosh is about 2 years old right now. We're about 11 years old. They started about 2 months after I started making a new push to expand the membership of this subreddit.
The confusion came because someone associated with that subreddit created a bot that basically insulted people for mentioning this one.
I mean, think about it... Woosh is spelled either "woosh" or "whoosh", a different number of o's is purely a stylistic misspelling. Of course the correctly spelled one is first.
it was created first but there was no activity. posts here only picked up about a year ago, so it wasn't first. my point being someone just took the name r/woosh but didn't actually do anything with it
what the fuck are you talking about? how does it not have relevance? the topic of this dumbass post is quite literally which one is the original? taking a sub name and not doing anything with it is effectively not making a subreddit. you saw the other sub blow up and decided to cash in on the name you took and didn't use. this isn't the original, end of story. honestly pathetic.
I was pushing to make this subreddit bigger from the moment I got control, which was before the other one was founded. So, no. It’s not relevant. Any assertion that nothing was done is a lie. I wasn’t even aware they existed for another 2-3 months after that.
This subreddit existed and had subscribers for its entire history, including before I got control of it. I was not starting from nothing.
The other one has almost 5 times as many members.
There are multiple imitators, but yes. One has become larger after a fairly deceptive (imo) campaign run by someone who preferred another one.
Elaborate please
Well, someone made a bot that “corrected” people to go to another one. You’ve probably seen it.
Damn thats crazy. I like this title better anyway
In a sense: often imitated, never duplicated. Am I right on the ballpark so far?
Underrated comment
I see what you did here(genius) and I would give you an award if I cared enough to spend the money.

why not make a bot that corrects the other one to this one too?

Must… remain… wholesome
k-kea… Keanu… reeves
Hi there! Looks like you mistyped that. Here, let me fix it for you. What, you meant to go here? No, how silly of you, come on now, let's go.
Damn that's actually sad and very much sucks.
I am sad to say that I fell for it 😞
The other sub has posts that are two years old. This one doesn't have any posts over a year. Sounds like you're the imitation
The founding date is in the side bar and I was able to find two year old posts with a fairly quick search. Odd accusation.
I mean you're deleting comments too.
Maybe just be open about it?
A sticked thread isn't a place that we allow rule-breaking comments. It would basically imply that behavior is acceptable everywhere. It's not.
If you're a dick to me, you're still being a dick. I see no reason why I should put up with it.
Are you sure it isn't envy at the other wooosh server for having much more members and being made more recently?
Yes, quite sure.
uhhh rule breaking comments? there's like no rules...
I know. Super low bar.
Could you link the oldest post from this subreddit please?
And after 34 days still waiting

The best I could find was a 3rd party solution: www.redditsearch.io <- this lets you search by subreddit and date range.
I did a search for this subreddit, and found exactly 1 post from November 15th, 2009: https://www.reddit.com/r/woosh/comments/a4s34/test/

It’s sad that we can’t do anything now because of how big of a behemoth they are. Any report, no matter how much evidence it has, wouldn’t work.
Don't hate the players... :(
Welp, everything has a solution. Sometimes we don't like the answer. Yooooooooooooo
Isn't r/woooosh with 4 o's the original..?
Or is this post a r/whoooosh in itself?
Much confuse
No, r/woooosh is about 2 years old right now. We're about 11 years old. They started about 2 months after I started making a new push to expand the membership of this subreddit.

That sucks :(
why
Dude it's almost 5 years old
Yeah, I've had this conversation SO many times that I'm mostly going off memory. Doesn't really change the fact.
Although I'll probably never be able to woosh someone, I'm glad to be here.
hate to break it to you it's not the original

No love for r/wosh?

Worn out places
Praise be
r/itswooooshwith4os existing is like if you made a sub called r/btwtheholocaustisascam
LETS GO

Huh
Now I'm hungry for Hydrox
Lol.
There are entire subreddits like r/itswooooshwith4os that help spread the misinformation of the imitator.

Not though
Yes. It is.
K
no. it's not.
Super easy for you to check it. Yes, it is.
it's just not though
Okay. What date was this subreddit founded?
taking a sub name and doing nothing with it is not being the original sub lol
Oh? I struggle with both the logic of that AND how it could possibly have relevance.

I don’t know what you’re talking about at all.
Yes
so what are we going to do with the other imitations?
Only 10 thousand? I thought more like 14 - 22 thousand.
lol
Matthias Boi didn't have the facilities to understand the joke,😭😭😂😂
