History
Originally one Arudia a.k.a. Mrs_Honesty had recently begun hosting a similar group in her personal clan chat and posted a thread on the official forums. Not knowing of this, Buctum registered the account Q_A_Hotline and later found Arudia's thread. The two efforts merged into Q_A_Hotline with Buctum, Arudia, and Arudia's friend Maxtermax1 acting as equals and adopting the title of General from the Clan Setup interface. Eventually Maxtermax1 stepped down to pursue his own goals and was replaced as General by 15doopstone.

After a while the Q_A_Hotline channel died, as the Generals had difficulty keeping it useful when the population ran high, and Buctum took a hiatus. Due to his fluctuating interest he did not wish to administrate the revived clan when he returned as no one could be promoted or banned in his absence, so 15doopstone took over that role and devised the name.
