History

Miiverse Days

Arian spamming on the Miiverse Announcements community.

Before his start in developing Miiverse clones, Arian was known for being a Miiverse hacker. He was able to magic post YouTube videos such as the PPAP song, and is well known for spamming the Miiverse Announcements community with the repeated message, "FUCK THE ADMINS!" Arian got in contact with another Miiverse hacker known as PF2M. The two cooperated on hacking Miiverse, and could be considered partners in crime.

Some remnants of Arian's past are on the internet, including an infamous video of a skit involving him and his cousin Shayan, a video of him jumping in a swimming pool, a video of him screaming at his computer, and numerous photos.

Openverse and Grape

Since PF2M knew and trusted Arian, he became one of the personally invited personnel in the Openverse Closed Beta. PF2M's work on Openverse inspired Arian to create a Miiverse clone of his own, which became known as Grape. In this time frame, Arian would be more open to Grape's community, as it was a lot more small and inactive compared to Miiverse's huge, spread out userbase.

Using the knowledge that he had from programming Grape, Arian pitched a "Dark Mode Openverse" concept that would later become his biggest project, Closedverse.

Early Closedverse

Arian's favorite post on Closedverse.

Arian launched Closedverse on September 9, 2017, and was listed as user #1 on the site, with his display name being "wii u still best console" and later "wii u amazing beautiful great console 🐙". Users #2, #3, and #4 were all deleted alts of his, with PF2M being user #5 as a result. Arian ran a script on Closedverse that made anyone who followed PF2M follow him as well (assuming the user didn't follow Arian first), and anyone who unfollowed him would unfollow PF2M as well (as Dominic discovered, this script didn't work if Arian's profile was hidden).

Arian wasn't remarkably noteworthy in the early days of Closedverse, though he was still known for being a Miiverse hacker and web developer. Arian would post updates and responded to users who had technical difficulties (which explains why he had a lot of users registered as friends at the time). Arian would post information on the site if it was shut down due to maintenance or for other reasons. Because he was the creator of the site, he received a sizable following from the Closedverse userbase, and only a few people didn't like him.

Arian didn't have a major presence in any other clone besides Closedverse. While he did make some accounts on Cedar, he never had a main account on the site, and most of the alts he had were deleted.

Banning Users

About a month after Closedverse's release, Arian made a decision that sparked a bit of controversy: he banned Dominic. Dominic was a well-known Closedverse user who mainly posted memes and Scratch content, most notably a project based on Squibby, one of the site's only admins at the time. The reason Arian gave was a vague one: Dominic was banned for "being unfunny".

This incident made some people question Arian's authority, and some people claimed that it was unfair of him to ban Dominic for an opinionated reason not specific in the Closedverse rules. However, a majority of the userbase defended (or at least didn't care about) Arian's decision, mostly because they either didn't like or care about Dominic in the first place. Dominic would go on to use Cedar, voicing criticism over Arian's decision to ban him.

Arian would go on to ban more users for vague reasons. One of these users was Max, who was not as well-known as Dominic but got banned for the same reason. Another one of these users was Coner, who was infamous among the Closedverse community notably for his conflicts with Banama Club and arguments on Closedverse itself. The conflict over this dissolved, so there wasn't a lot of conversation on these bans.

Arian also told the creator of a Closedverse wikia that he didn't want a wiki for the site and essentially forced it to cease operation.

Closedverse Rehosts

On days when Closedverse shut down, Arian would make rehosts of Closedverse. On one of these occasions, Arian said he was going to get Pizza Hut. Users were able to sign up for these rehosts, and for a few minutes they were able to post on some of the communities. However, the ability to post would later be restricted to those that Arian promoted. Most of the users who were allowed to post were hostile towards those who sent messages at them to join. On Cedar, some users complained that the modded users were creating an echo chamber on the site, and criticized Arian for his authority on the situation. Some users responded to the criticism saying that the server was only temporary and that everyone should be grateful that Closedverse is still somewhat usable even during a shutdown.

Arian would later become controversial for much more serious reasons.

The "17 Gigs"

The notorious “17 Gigs” screenshot.

Around early 2018, Gnarly, a user who was known for mocking certain users and got banned frequently by the admins, started posting evidence on a website that Arian possessed child porn. One of the evidence was a Discord screenshot of Arian telling someone that he downloaded 17 gigabytes of data from the deep web and deleted the drive that contained it because he feared some of it might be illegal content. The userbase became split between a crowd that showed disrespect for Arian and a crowd that were skeptical of the evidence. Arian himself didn't make a response even though the evidence was gaining traction, though he was partially responsible for Gnarly's Closedverse Dramatica wikia (which had an article on him) shutting down.

Eventually, Arian did give a response to the situation, stating that only a tiny percentage of the 17 gigabytes was actual child porn, which he deleted anyway.

Admin Promotions and Site Management

"Arian fully does NOT care about the site, as he hires over like 30 admins to do the work for him. Wanna be a Closedverse admin? Send a picture of your under-aged tits and you are going to likely be co-owner pretty soon. Guess what this pervy faggot does also? He can read your so called private messages" - Closedverse Dramatica

Word also got around about some private messages involving Arian. Most infamously, Arian promoted a user named Cookie to administrator due to the latter private messaging a picture of her legs. Another incident occurred shortly after where Arian was caught erping with a male user, which was detailed on the main page of Closedverse Dramatica. Gnarly additionally posted a pastebin on Cedar displaying the messages between the two. A few months later, he also promoted a user named Citrus, who deleted 100 users from the site. The general consensus was that Arian was not good at choosing admins, as the administration would wreak havoc and Arian was complacent about it.

It was also found out that Arian and some admins could view any user's private messages, which concerned some users.

According to Closedverse Dramatica, it was during this time period when Arian got doxxed by his former friend Tutikaz. Arian supposedly responded by telling everyone to spam his address so everyone can ignore it.

Stepping Down

"PF2M is the owner right now and Arian is the main developer and ex-owner who is currently being executed."

On May 3, 2018, private messages between Arian and an underaged user were leaked under the domain warning-pedo.men. Arian decided to step down as owner of the site, giving the title to PF2M. He grayed out his profile picture afterward. Many people were satisfied and excited about the idea of PF2M running the site, and a lot of people followed him since Arian's profile was hidden and he couldn't receive PF2M's followers anymore. Many people decided to make rants about Arian since he wasn't in charge anymore. PF2M himself made a rant about Arian, though the post was more about the troubles PF2M had working with Arian. Despite the large event, Arian was still the de facto owner of Closedverse, and would help set up the server for the user Pip's Miiverse clone, Oasis.

Arian became less active on Miiverse clones after this incident, and would slowly become less relevant among the Miiverse clone userbase.

Post-Indigo Closedverse

Arian would return to posting on Closedverse after Indigo's release, when Closedverse's activity dropped. He mainly posted anime pictures and interacted with some of the newer users who signed up for the site.

Closedverse Shutdown

On April 4, 2019, PF2M announced that all of Arian's computers, including the Closedverse server, were seized by the police (there were multiple attempts to call the police on Arian when Closedverse was still up). The domain for Closedverse is no longer in Arian's possession, so the information Closedverse had that wasn't archived is now lost. Though his computers were taken by the police, Arian did not get arrested or put in juvy.

According to PF2M, Arian does not possess any pornography depicting real life children, though he still replies to people with lolicon "as a joke".

After Clones

Arian has several Twitter accounts, which he uses on occasions.

In late May of 2020, Arian assisted SMF9 and Username in the making of their Closedverse rehost, pizza.closedverse.itisadomain.net. The next day, Arian made the site redirect to an osu! page.

Arian also assisted in SMF9's next Closedverse rehost, wakemeupinside.cf. According to Pip, he used the username "Lia". However, the account of "Lia" was deleted prior to the site's shutdown.
