[[File:2016 Mass Resignation Discord Messages.png|thumb|200px|Mark ran TotalFreedom with an iron fist, and this is one of many factors that caused the revolution in the first place.]]
The revolution's roots began in early 2016 as a combination of multiple factors which ultimately boiled down to unrest with management at the time.:
 
A* major contributor to the unrest was'''How management handled public outcry and unpopular decisions.:''' Starting in late 2016, people became increasingly irritated with [[Community:Markbyron|markbyron]]'s tendency to dismiss public outcry as "nasty drama". A notable case was when several admins resigned in protest after he introduced a controversial program (which gave specific players a special secret rank that only him and a few other executives knew about). He responded by banning those involved from every platform he had control over for at least a week. People were also becoming increasingly frustrated with his tendency to be too forgiving, often allowing [[Community:Savnith|known rogue players]] back on the server under new identities or not removing [[Community:Marcocorriero11|problematic staff members]] even after attempting to vote them off several times.
 
Another major contributor was* '''VJ himself.:''' HeVJ had an unstable history and possibly an untreated mental illness. Having joined in late 2013 and becoming an admin in early 2014, he had resigned in early 2015 due to disputes with other staff members and began to attachattack the server and its staff with a group of other rogue staff members named DDOXYZ. After attempting to return to the server under different identities, he came back for one final timeagain with the name UYScutix. Some players still didn't trust him and viewed him as unnecessarily strict and hugely hypocritical whenever he complained about other people's pasts.
 
* '''Savnith:''' Savnith was a former admin who was known to act in a cycle of claiming he changed to gain everyone's trust and then engage in rogue activity after a period of time. Following several years of this cycle, players rejected his attempts to appeal so he had to resort to returning under new identities in order to keep playing on the server. He also became increasingly problematic, to the point where he built a "shitlist" on his website to list the IP addresses of admins he disliked.
 
* '''marcocorriero11''': Marco was a developer who became a staff member on January 1, 2016 under the Telnet Picks a Super program. He was a controversial figure among his peers, and many criticized him for his actions or behavior. Attempts to vote him off for this behavior often fell flat, which led to accusations that Mark was trying to protect him.
