At that time Laterment had 0 subscribers. Now he has 13,000, and in one of the strangest (and most harrowing) turn of events we’ve ever had, he saved our community. Matt predicted that it would be episode #137, so he was only slightly off.  Here’s the background: an errant click led to ownership of the TCU Discord server being transferred to a Turkish scammer. As the babies started to fall and we accepted the reality of starting over, Laterment jumped in to befriend the hacker and… get the server back, no extortion fees necessary.  That’s the Laterment way, and as he says, he believes in creators – even if they’re creating havoc. To him, the TCU community is priceless, because he’s just a dude being a dude. Matt points out that the hacker has a combination of skills and free time that could lead to helping people rather than harming them, since there are better ways to make a buck than holding Discord accounts hostage. But the lure and value of the Discord badges appear to be stronger than he realizes.  The newly-converted Laterment will be leading The Later Network, a joint project with The Create Unknown, to bring a new brand of Minecraft to the masses. Alpha/beta testers are encouraged to sign up at the link above, because we’re already live. We’ve been working for months on developing the right tone and finding the right people to make it work, and now it’s time to commit to the block-building life. Later.gg won’t be happening on Twitch, though, since Laterment is severing his complex relationship with the platform in favor of streaming on YouTube.  The Laterment sage is one of our favorites
