Way more complex than that. It was entirely gay, unfunny drama that stemmed from Discord(s), and tons of users got dragged (or should I say, walked) into it, mods included. Its not really worth going into since its a pretty long story and attention whores don't deserve attention.
Vertexwindi was discontent with the site from the beginning and decided to leak threads from the mod-only board fully aware it'd end up with him de-modded and off the forum. Wasn't betrayal, he revealed himself as the leaker.
