In mid 2020, scripthead appointed Telesphoreo to the Lead Developer role. However, he did not stay in this role for long due to disagreements with the new Owner, Wild1145. He made a thread detailing why the server should use the Pterodactyl panel, and after other disagreements, stepped down. During this period of time, scripthead switched the forum backend from ProBoards to MyBB, which lead only to disaster. The MyBB forum was quickly scrapped. In its place, with much influence from Telesphoreo, scripthead installed Flarum, which met mostly positive reactions.
On October 24, 2020, the same day scripthead deleted the server, Telesphoreo teased a new plugin called Plex. At the outset, the plugin garnered controversy over its closed-source nature and secretive development. In January 2022, Plex was open-sourced and the first beta was released. Throughout 2022, many betas of Plex were released. The plugin was released later that year, fully open-sourced, under the GNUv3 license.
