=== '''2007:''' ===
* The beginnings of what would eventually become known as the [[Great Debate Community]] emerges from the chaos of online discussions between Young Earth Creationists and skeptics/ science defenders, and many well-known players join YouTube doing this year. The term "GDC" isn't used until some years later, however.
* Thunderf00t uploads the first installment of his [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAC3481305829426D Why Do People Laugh At Creationists?] series to YouTube in September, the first episodes of which focus primarily on debunking the creationist arguments of [[VenomFangX]] and [[Kent Hovind]].
* [[AronRa]] uploads the first part of his [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL126AFB53A6F002CC Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism] series in November, which dispelled many of the central tenets of the creationism movement and provided a comprehensive overview of the evidence for [[evolution]], rather than focusing on any single person.

=== '''2008:''' ===
* Many additional YouTube atheists launch channels and/or series debunking the claims of creationist apologists.
* AndromedasWake uploads the first installment of his series [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jU42uC9vag Creation Astronomy Propaganda Debunked] (exact date unknown, as his channel has been scrubbed).
* [[Potholer54]] hosts the first annual [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAXDUofIAzM Golden Crocoduck Award].

=== '''2009:''' ===
* The [http://www.theleagueofreason.co.uk/ League of Reason forum] is created by AndromedasWake.

=== '''2010:''' ===
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY1_jSAzffc first episode] of [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasGLcO75IgsUU9XxXFig9A The Magic Sandwich Show] (hosted by dprjones) is uploaded to YouTube in November, though it had been running on BlogTV for some time prior to this.

=== '''2011:''' ===
* [https://plus.google.com/ Google+] is launched on June 28th, including a feature known as "Hangouts" which allowed for audio/video chat between members of the site.
* The [[Fundamentally Flawed]] podcast is launched by Alex Botten, Jim Gardner, and Dr. Mat Hunt.

=== '''2012:''' ===
* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_Rally Reason Rally] is held on March 24th in Washington DC. Many well known YouTube skeptics attend.
* The Atheism+ movement is created in August by feminist and skeptic blogger Jen McCreight. A schism in the broader community soon follows.
* Strife launches [https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLyingGhostShow The Lying Ghost Show], which runs until late 2013.

=== '''2013:''' ===
* [[BrianJ1962]] hosts the first [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DZ-AYJxiF0 Friday Fail hangout] in March, which would become one of the first hangout-based "shows" in the community to be held regularly and streamed onto YouTube.

* Google Hangouts is officially launched on May 15th (though it existed previously as a feature of Google+), providing a fertile ground for interaction between participants of what would become the [[Great Debate Community]]. The dynamic of the community begins to shift significantly from making response videos to streaming hangouts.

* The [[Presuppositional Apologetics|Presuppositional Apologetic]] of [[Sye Ten Bruggencate]] takes the community by storm as many people had never heard of it and didn't know how to address it. Many videos and hangouts regarding "presupp" are produced by the more philosophically minded members of the community, and the tactic is considered defeated (and subjected to endless mockery), though it would continue to be a hotly discussed topic for years to come.
* The [[New Covenant Group]] begins hosting weekly "Cult of Honesty" hangouts. [[Presuppositional Apologetics|Presupp]] is a frequent topic.
* [[Sye Ten Atheist]] uploads his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBIKU4zDyrI first video], satirizing Bruggencate-style [[Presuppositional Apologetics|presuppositionalism]].
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9n63XxjWr8 fifth and final Golden Crocoduck Award] is held by [[Potholer54]] (after six years--no award was given in 2011).
* [[AgentofDoubt]] coins the term "Great Debate Community" to describe the rapidly growing community of religious and philosophical discussion on YouTube, G+ and Hangouts (in part because the common descriptor "YouTube Atheist Community" excluded the many theist and other non-atheist participants).

=== '''2014:''' ===
* [[13Heathens]] begins running [[Insomnia Shuffle]] hangouts on an irregular but frequent basis.
* The [https://www.youtube.com/user/DrunkenPeasants/featured Drunken Peasants podcast] is launched in January by [[The Amazing Atheist (TJ Kirk)]] and several others. [[G Man]] and [[Brett Keane]] are first invited to the DP as guests in March.
* [[JD Kain]] begins running weekly hangouts, which would eventually become [[Talking Shit Tuesday (JD Kain)|Talking Shit Tuesday]].
* In April, [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]] files a [[DMCA]] claim against a video of his that [[TrueEmpiricism]] mirrored without permission or attribution, and a short but intense flagging war erupts (partially spurred on by [[Brett Keane]]).

* Alex Botten's [[Fundamentally Flawed|Fundmentally Flawed]] podcast is ended in February.
* [[Nadia Chambers]] begins running open discussion hangouts on a near constant basis early in the year.

* Around late fall, the community surrounding Fundamentally Flawed splits apart amid internal drama and general distrust regarding its multiple private Facebook groups.
* [[Jakki Kite|Jakki]] and [[Kevin Buchik|Kevin]] start dating in October, and meet in person at the end of December.
* Matt Slick begins appearing on the Bible Thumping Wingnut show.
* The first annual [http://great-debate-community.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Dumb_Fuck_of_the_Year Dumbfuck of the Year Awards] is held by [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]] in December.

=== '''2015:''' ===
* [[Deeper Than Dogma]] airs its first episode in January.
* For reasons that are still not entirely clear, interest and belief in a [[Flat Earth]] spikes around this time. It quickly becomes a common topic of discussion within the GDC, with several fundies adopting flat Earth beliefs, and several skeptics (notably [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]]) shifting the focus of their videos and hangouts to debunking flat Earth arguments.
* Kent Hovind is released from prison (and all felt a great disturbance in the force). He immediately resumes making videos attacking science and promoting conspiracy theories.

=== '''2016:''' ===
* The infamous [[Hangout Sniping]] exploit is made possible by an update to Hangouts on July 14th.
* The GDC Google+ community page is created by [[Steve McRae]] around September 3rd, 2016.
* [[Kevin Buchik]] creates the Dumbfuck of the Year scoreboard for use in the December contest.

=== '''2017:''' ===
* Following [[Nadia Chambers|Nadia's]] departure from the community, many of the regulars from her hangouts migrate over to [[Discord]] and create several servers on that platform (most notably Krillism, which has since experienced massive growth).
* The GDC Wiki (you know, the site you're currently reading) is created in June by [[Callzter]].
* A number of well known GDC participants (including [[Dragnauct]], [[Fiona Robertson|Fiona]], [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]], [[Hana Zubby]], [[Vincent Jones]], [[JD Kain]], and [[MP]]) meet up in New York City in late April, much to the surprise of [[G Man]]. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj17Vrl0cdk special episode] of TST is held in the hotel.
* The [https://greatdebatecommunity.com/ GDC website] and [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnIsA-D3PX6g6gi6Nyuewg dedicated YouTube channel] are created.

* The GDC [[Discord]] server is created on December 1st.
* Significant drama erupts around Christmas when [[Steve McRae]] ejects [[MP]] from the GDC G+.
* Attempts by many of the community's "old guard" to address these and related issues end up being futile, and the ensuing drama (dubbed "''The Steve Wars''" or "''Brass Tacks Gate''") spills over into the following year.

=== '''2018:''' ===
* [[Insomnia Shuffle|Insomnia Shuffles]] return around mid February.
* The ''Great Debate Civil War'' erupts, and many long-time-members of the [[GDC]] GROUP leave or are ejected from the <s>Community</s> G+ group run by Steve McRae. The rest of the community continued along merrily as if barely anything had happened.
* The [[Awesome Crew Show]] returns in April.
* Around early April, triggered by several unprovoked attacks by [[G Man]] against [[Jade West]] regarding her sexuality and Catholic faith, a mini-war is declared against G Man by a number of people in the community, and many posts, hangouts, and videos are made attacking G Man and his behavior. Two things in particular to come out of these are the [http://kdbuchik.com/projects/gsoundboard/index.php G Man Soundboard] created by [[Kevin Buchik]], and [[Dragnauct Sylvas (Channel)|Dragnauct Sylvas]]' extensive series of live streams responding to almost every video G Man put out.
* The [https://plus.google.com/communities/112568364661622277886 Great Debate Gaming group] (along with the Discord, and [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSh4d4Xk7vg01i8KWsu4JTw YouTube channel]) is created by Tyler Durden and begins regularly streaming games (particularly PUBG and Terraria) in May.
* [[Jade West]] dies in her home in early June and a Google+ group is created to curate memories and videos that she was in, which can be found [https://plus.google.com/communities/107813165197566563024 here].
[[Category:GDC Lexicon]]
* NOTE: events after this point were added (currently, only by Kevin) after the wiki was mirrored on the gdcarchive site
* In September, a funeral for Jade was held on a boat off Moss Landing in Santa Cruz county in the San Francisco Bay area, not far from where she lived. Many prominent members of the community who were close to her attended, a number of whom were meeting for the first time.
* The Dragoon Syndicate Discord server was created by Holy Spackle for fans of Dragnauct on December 31st. This would become a major gathering point for members of the community following the shutdown of Google+ the following year.

At this time, the wiki will be in a read-only state and will not be accepting edits from the public. (Accounts can be created, but will not be able to edit without permission.) The pages will require an EXTENSIVE amount of cleanup before the wiki will be usable again, so I will be making edits to fix the broken links and formatting, re-uploading images, etc. I intend to make as few modifications to the wiki's actual content as possible during this process, until editing is once again open to everyone. If you'd like to help with this process, contact me on Skype (kevbuc13) or Discord. Anyone with knowledge of MediaWiki architecture (or Wikia's modified version of it) would be most useful.

* [[Sye Ten Atheist]] uploads his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBIKU4zDyrI first video], satirizing Bruggencate-style [[Presuppositional Apologetics|presuppositionalism]].
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9n63XxjWr8 fifth and final Golden Crocoduck Award] is held by [[Potholer54]] (after six years--no award was given in 2011).
* [[AgentofDoubt]] coins the term "Great Debate Community" to describe the rapidly growing community of religious and philosophical discussion on YouTube, G+ and Hangouts (in part because the common descriptor "YouTube Atheist Community" excluded the many theist and other non-atheist participants).

=== '''2014:''' ===
* [[13Heathens]] begins running [[Insomnia Shuffle]] hangouts on an irregular but frequent basis.
* The [https://www.youtube.com/user/DrunkenPeasants/featured Drunken Peasants podcast] is launched in January by [[The Amazing Atheist (TJ Kirk)]] and several others. [[G Man]] and [[Brett Keane]] are first invited to the DP as guests in March.
* [[JD Kain]] begins running weekly hangouts, which would eventually become [[Talking Shit Tuesday (JD Kain)|Talking Shit Tuesday]].
* In April, [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]] files a [[DMCA]] claim against a video of his that [[TrueEmpiricism]] mirrored without permission or attribution, and a short but intense flagging war erupts (partially spurred on by [[Brett Keane]]).

* Alex Botten's [[Fundamentally Flawed|Fundmentally Flawed]] podcast is ended in February.
* [[Nadia Chambers]] begins running open discussion hangouts on a near constant basis early in the year.

* Around late fall, the community surrounding Fundamentally Flawed splits apart amid internal drama and general distrust regarding its multiple private Facebook groups.
* [[Jakki Kite|Jakki]] and [[Kevin Buchik|Kevin]] start dating in October, and meet in person at the end of December.
* Matt Slick begins appearing on the Bible Thumping Wingnut show.
* The first annual [http://great-debate-community.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Dumb_Fuck_of_the_Year Dumbfuck of the Year Awards] is held by [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]] in December.

=== '''2015:''' ===
* [[Deeper Than Dogma]] airs its first episode in January.
* For reasons that are still not entirely clear, interest and belief in a [[Flat Earth]] spikes around this time. It quickly becomes a common topic of discussion within the GDC, with several fundies adopting flat Earth beliefs, and several skeptics (notably [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]]) shifting the focus of their videos and hangouts to debunking flat Earth arguments.
* Kent Hovind is released from prison (and all felt a great disturbance in the force). He immediately resumes making videos attacking science and promoting conspiracy theories.

=== '''2016:''' ===
* The infamous [[Hangout Sniping]] exploit is made possible by an update to Hangouts on July 14th.
* The GDC Google+ community page is created by [[Steve McRae]] around September 3rd, 2016.
* [[Kevin Buchik]] creates the Dumbfuck of the Year scoreboard for use in the December contest.

=== '''2017:''' ===
* Following [[Nadia Chambers|Nadia's]] departure from the community, many of the regulars from her hangouts migrate over to [[Discord]] and create several servers on that platform (most notably Krillism, which has since experienced massive growth).
* The GDC Wiki (you know, the site you're currently reading) is created in June by [[Callzter]].
* A number of well known GDC participants (including [[Dragnauct]], [[Fiona Robertson|Fiona]], [[Reds Rhetoric|Redline]], [[Hana Zubby]], [[Vincent Jones]], [[JD Kain]], and [[MP]]) meet up in New York City in late April, much to the surprise of [[G Man]]. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj17Vrl0cdk special episode] of TST is held in the hotel.
* The [https://greatdebatecommunity.com/ GDC website] and [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnIsA-D3PX6g6gi6Nyuewg dedicated YouTube channel] are created.

* The GDC [[Discord]] server is created on December 1st.
* Significant drama erupts around Christmas when [[Steve McRae]] ejects [[MP]] from the GDC G+.
* Attempts by many of the community's "old guard" to address these and related issues end up being futile, and the ensuing drama (dubbed "''The Steve Wars''" or "''Brass Tacks Gate''") spills over into the following year.

=== '''2018:''' ===
* [[Insomnia Shuffle|Insomnia Shuffles]] return around mid February.
* The ''Great Debate Civil War'' erupts, and many long-time-members of the [[GDC]] GROUP leave or are ejected from the <s>Community</s> G+ group run by Steve McRae. The rest of the community continued along merrily as if barely anything had happened.
* The [[Awesome Crew Show]] returns in April.
* Around early April, triggered by several unprovoked attacks by [[G Man]] against [[Jade West]] regarding her sexuality and Catholic faith, a mini-war is declared against G Man by a number of people in the community, and many posts, hangouts, and videos are made attacking G Man and his behavior. Two things in particular to come out of these are the [http://kdbuchik.com/projects/gsoundboard/index.php G Man Soundboard] created by [[Kevin Buchik]], and [[Dragnauct Sylvas (Channel)|Dragnauct Sylvas]]' extensive series of live streams responding to almost every video G Man put out.
* The [https://plus.google.com/communities/112568364661622277886 Great Debate Gaming group] (along with the Discord, and [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSh4d4Xk7vg01i8KWsu4JTw YouTube channel]) is created by Tyler Durden and begins regularly streaming games (particularly PUBG and Terraria) in May.
* [[Jade West]] dies in her home in early June and a Google+ group is created to curate memories and videos that she was in, which can be found [https://plus.google.com/communities/107813165197566563024 here].
[[Category:GDC Lexicon]]
* NOTE: events after this point were added (currently, only by Kevin) after the wiki was mirrored on the gdcarchive site
* In September, a funeral for Jade was held on a boat off Moss Landing in Santa Cruz county in the San Francisco Bay area, not far from where she lived. Many prominent members of the community who were close to her attended, a number of whom were meeting for the first time.
* The Dragoon Syndicate Discord server was created by Holy Spackle for fans of Dragnauct on December 31s. This would become a major gathering point for members of the community following the shutdown of Google+ the following year.

Insomnia Shuffle

2019-06-15T08:48:15Z

KevinBee: added change acknowledging shuffles' short return during 2018

== Basic Description ==
{{Show|title1 = Insomnia Shuffle|image1 = Insomnia shuffle.png|caption1 = Setup for a Typical Shuffle Stream, Circa 2015|hosts = 13Heathens/ Shadow Heathen|style/topics = "Anything Goes" Casual Chat; Religious Topics Discouraged|dates/run = January 2014 - December 2016; February 2018 - Present|links = [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyA4oY8yjt3lHTjZyc98cv0eqgIK13Ce3 Shuffle Playlist]}}The Insomnia Shuffle is a series of casual late-night on-air [[Google Hangouts|hangouts]] run by [[13Heathens]]. The first hangout officially titled as such was held in late January 2014, though several earlier hangouts and Skype calls have been retconned into the series. Shuffles ran on an irregular, but frequent basis from 2014 through early 2016 (generally whenever 13 and/or other regulars were suffering from insomnia, as per the name) before going on an indefinite hiatus (only two live ones were held in 2017). During several periods in 2014, Shuffles were held almost every single night, along with occasional "primetime" Shuffles which ran during the afternoon or early evening. Insomnia Shuffles made a brief return during early 2018 on the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYBTvIJt0OfLTxnK8DELgkA Shadow Heathen] channel, in response to address drama surrounding [[Steve McRae]] and the "Great Debate Community" Google+ group.

In addition to several "unwritten" rules (hehe), the one main rule of the Insomnia Shuffle was that conversation about typical "Great Debate" subjects (i.e. religion, [[Theism|theology]], apologetics, creationism, and associated topics) was generally off the table with exceptions granted only at the discretion of the host, but anything else (including gossip and shit-talking about members of the [[Great Debate Community|Community]], no matter what side they were on) was considered fair game. This gave people a chance to get to know each other and find out else they had in common outside of whatever religious issue they happened to agree or disagree on.

Shuffles currently also benefit from being hosted through 13's corporate Google account which provides the hangout with nifty features such as a 25 person capacity, being un-[[Hangout Sniping|snipable]] (corporate hangouts have no external chat), requiring the permission of the host in order to enter, and being streamed via XSplit which, among other things, allows for the live-chat to be streamed and therefore preserved after the live stream ends. Also, as of recently, the preservation of the live-chat of a stream has become a well-received feature of YouTube.

The most complete existing playlist of Insomnia Shuffles is maintained by [[Kevin Buchik]] and can be [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyA4oY8yjt3lHTjZyc98cv0eqgIK13Ce3 found here], although some Shuffles are known to be missing and several others have incorrect dates.
