"Wait what’s the Speedwagang?"
*deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep inhale*

Early 2020, around the time I joined the JJBA wiki, it was a fad to make and join gangs here. There was the Fruit Gang, the Ungalo Cult, Johnny Gang, Cactus Gang, etc.

I was invited to the Fruit Gang (the biggest one), but I said 'nah, sike' and made my own. Thus, was borne the Speedwagang. Our first invite poll gathered over 100+ people who joined us (I was shocked there was that many peeps on the wiki). We even eventually got invited to join a gang wars roleplay which was pretty whack.

During those times, there was also a lot of prejudice towards new users. This was a time before the low-effort rule, so there was a lot of spamming memes everywhere. This, was all blamed on the new users.

One day, there was a glitch with my account. I asked Fenn-chan if she could help figure out what happened (we thought I had been hacked at first). At the same time, I got permission to use an alt so I could stay on the wiki while the issue was being figured out.

I decided to do a little social experiment. I pretended to be a new user. There was a venting post blowing up with 100+ comments, all hate towards new users. I joined, and commented something like "hey guys can someone explain why you hate new users?"

From there, it was a long, long, bout of everyone using me as their new scapegoat. There I was, trying to politely get an answer to my question, and there everyone else was basically just calling me a piece of shit. These were all users that treated their fellow older user "Rhino" with kindness. At one point, I had enough. I was done laughing at the nonsense. So, I pinged Fenn. Then it switched to "ew the new user is tattling to the admins". Fenn came, locked the post after all that.

Some time later, we found out, yeah, it was a rare glitch that happened with my account. So, I lay the alt down to rest, and came back as my og account. I casually explained to some of my closer friends "yeah guess what, that was me you were picking on yesterday".... that was a hoot...

From that day forth, I repurposed Speedwagang to be about "welcoming new users to the wiki". We posted the "Weekly Welcome Wagon" posts, which were basically helpful tips and tricks about the wiki + guidelines and a list of the current wiki staff to @ in case help is needed.

Eventually.... over time, the gangs faded away... people lost interest in that. Everyone started becoming more accepting and kind to newer users; less toxic and more welcoming. Soon, it was just me running Speedwagang.... then, it became just a name.

That name, I use in memoriam on the most "important" posts I make here. So, if you ever see the name "Speedwagang" on my posts, it holds the meaning of "I am here to help the wiki - to the best of my ability".

And that, is the history of Speedwagang.
