The third wave started on at 1:24 AM EST on December 21st, 2025, Bengo was back once again to experiment with new shapes, though this time they met a significant obstacle in [[Schjessu]], who would consistently blot out Spawn with her own spam, thus making it a true spam war. | |||
Several other spammers joined in at around 1:51 AM, including one who spammed links to furry porn. | |||
Activity died down around 4:09 AM. Like with the first wave, wave 3 ended with Bengo pasting a massive diamond on top of all the spam that had accumulated. | |||
