i was one of the initial bakers of the ukraine threads. the threads weren't standardized as much back then but initially it was just a copy of the sg template and i titled them "ukraine general /ug/." of course, that thread got instantly filled with shills, so titles like "happening in ukraine general" and "ukraine happening general" were splits to try and evade the shills. finally, everyone settled on "comfy happening in ukraine general" for whatever reason, /chug/ was free of shills initially, so the name stuck. i think it was because a lot of the rudimentary automated posters couldn't find the new split because the word "ukraine" was buried deep into the title.  back in the day nobody would've thought to split sg, but these are different times we live in.
