The LMB Wiki Revolution was a military conflict where a band of users from the Lego Message Board wiki (led by Swfan and CaptainBrickmaster) split and formed their own wiki because they thought that an admin named Drew1200 was abusing his powers. The following tells what happened:

CaptainBrickmaster was given moderator rights, and Drew1200 was talking to him. CaptainBrickmaster was having trouble listening to what Drew1200 was saying, and eventually refused to do it. Therefor Drew1200 removed his Moderator rights. CaptainBrickmaster got really mad, and got a group of other users to think that Drew1200 was a "tyrant" (to quote his words). The group of users got on, and broke the Lego Message Boards Wiki's policy multiple times, so Drew1200 banned them. That was a mistake because he forgot to give them warnings. He unbanned them as quickly as possible when he realized what happened. That's when the Better Lego Message Boards Wiki formed.

The revolution was eventually ended peacefully when Brandon Rhea deleted the Better Lego Message Boards Wiki, and the users from it forgot about everything.

The revolution may be over, but the legacies of the event and the ideas of the Better Lego Message Boards Wiki are not
