Hello, all.

Yesterday, as an original April Fool's joke, I had made an idea regarding the Jimmy Rex page. If you don't know who or what Jimmy Rex is, basically it's a giant OC that people like to meme about for whatever reason. It's been like this since his original inception in August of last year.

Basically, I had wagered a bet, not to any specific individual, but anyone who would like to pitch in would risk their own winnings as well. There was a specific thing on the page's comment section where there were various shitposts, memes, and all of that. I had allowed that, since really there's no real specific place for this kind of stuff on a general level. I had bet that if I were the one to acheive the 2,000th comment, I would delete the page. There were no real rules, meaning I could use any way I could to do so. Ultimately, that means I had still gotten that comment.

Jimmy Rex was deleted a little further on that day.

Backlash was given, yes. "Corruption" they say, or perhaps I was just doing it out of spite. Take in the fact that originally it was going to be a joke, but I wanted to extend it to see how long I could keep it up. Eventually people had gotten to the point to where Quaunt had stepped in because of the fuss. To keep it short, he went on with the deletion at his own request.

His reasoning was a bit short, but he did eventually create a larger comment explaining the whole phenomenon about his own creation. It's seen below.



With this is mind, Jimmy Rex, whether you had hated him or cherished him, would be permanently sealed away into the depths of the unknown. In my own opinion, the overexposure and satirizing would only diminsh the character. But again, my own opinon, Quaunt's statement is really the one that we should pay attention to.

So with that, Jimmy Rex's life has ended officially.

However, there is one tribute page that I would like to link. Yes, it's in a format of a video (YT one specifically) link, but what else could you do to apprecitate the Omniversal lizard? Think of it like a funeral of sorts; its been talked about before.

And with that, may Jimmy Rex rest in peace.
