Acid could provide a more detailed history as he was one if their victims, but the short of it is that the Triangles are an IRC group that came to comprise GGRevolt, /cow/, /leftypol/, Julay, etc.. Originally, they wanted to turn GG into their own personal army, control the rise and fall of certain eceleb, your usual power hungry individuals fancying themselves as wannabe dictators. However, the insistence upon GG being "leaderless", in addition to general OPSECs tactics (Such as
NOT being the exact type of people that the media was claiming GG to be), caused them to go full scorched Earth because GG couldn't be allowed to exist unless
they (And only
they) were the ones in control of it. The result was trashing the threads, splintering the movement, and doxxing anyone with a name.
This is where the claim about Acid being a Fed comes from as they doxxed him and reported his private info to the Feds as a "known terrorist"; however that backfired as Acid regular cooperates with the Feds per his business of being a gun store owner, and he gladly explained exactly what was going on. Come 2016, their tactic mostly worked as all steam that GG originally had was extinguished, and left the threads to only be limping along, though there was still a couple of personally made OPs still that cropped up at least once a year.
I came on in 2017. Fast forward to 2020, and we're months after with the exodus to 8moe and the webring. Leaks are coming out about
Lesbian Golfing Simulator Part Deux, and all discussion about the leaks are being wiped off of Julay/v/. People make fun of the BO there for his censorship, and the guy decides to take a break, handing control over to the Tengu (The, at the time, /japan/ BO on PLW). The Tengu declares Julay/v/ now being completely free speech. The result is the board being spammed with cheeze pizza for weeks. And, keep in mind, this was all sanctioned by the Julay globals as IRC logs the Tengu leaked showed that they refused to globally moderate the board unless he bans loli and any offending topics. I forget the exact circumstances that led to it, but the Tengu has some fight with the globals that results in him deleting /v/.
TWICE! This caused the Julay globals to go nuclear, and unintentionally reveal that they had been the Triangles all along, still trying to control GG and 8moe as a whole, now extended to the webring, and were the biggest causes behind the hostilities between the boards and sites. And, the result of this, they doxxed Loleron and threatened him to delete /japan/ or else (Which he did, I forgot which site the Tengu is now in, and is the reason why PLW is sort of a wasteland ever since as Loleron just broke) and Julay an heroed and rebranded themselves as AlogsSpace.
