They did this because of grid attacks a few days prior done by a goon who was told he wouldn't be allowed in Voted 5 if he was going to steal money and crash the grid because we didn't want to be associated with him. At the start of Philip Linden's town hall, he announced that they just cleaned up a group of "griefers" and banned about 60 people. They banned about 60 of the more active users, reclaimed the land and returned all our objects, and made Satyr group only access (owned by Governor Linden and set to Maintenance). "On Tuesday September 19th, about half an hour before that days town hall, LL executed an order to remove V5 from SL. The following is a quote from a member of the Something Awful forums: Some of the most familiar and long-standing names within W-hat include: He later sent in a ticket asking for the W-hat group to be deleted inworld. In May of 2011, Masakazu Kojima the sole owner of the group was banned from Second Life, It's unknown why his account was terminated. Masakazu claimed he hadn't logged on in weeks and had no knowledge of the build's existence. In 2010, W-hat moved back to Baku and sold their sim What, after the owner Masakazu Kojima was suspended from Second Life over an offensive build in the estate. W-Hat is for people who actually want to play Second Life, not people who want to see how fast they can get banned." It was created on April 27th, 2004, to get away from the bad reputation of the original SA Goons group. "W-Hat is the non-griefing Something Awful goon group in Second Life.

W-hat is not welcoming of furries, despite W-Hat rules claiming otherwise. After several incidents which resulted in the banning of W-Hat members, an overwhelming majority of them decided to simply, as they put it, 'keep their noses clean.' At this point, there are actually several members of W-Hat who are former furries. Initially, W-Hat was known for the frequent griefing of Second Life's furry population. Although there were two distinct groups of 'goons' - W-Hat and the more inflammatory Voted-5 - much of the ill happening within Second Life are often blamed on members of W-hat, but not without some reason. They were based in the sims Baku and What, and periodically rebuilt their sims to reflect whatever theme the mood striked them to.

W-Hat was a relatively large group of people, calling themselves Goons, who originate from the Something Awful forums.
