During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the {{wpd|South Africa}}n city of {{wpd|Port Elizabeth}}, renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021. | During the course of his 75-day ban (or "vacation" from OWOT), Lemuria developed a keen interest in the {{wpd|South Africa}}n city of {{wpd|Port Elizabeth}}, renamed "Gqeberha" in 2021.

Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map. D9eoead and other users argued that the name "Port Elizabeth" was a remnant of imperialism and {{wpd|apartheid}} that should be erased, but Lemuria disagreed with this, believing the name change to be a completely pointless and ineffective measure. Lemuria further argued that the name could be separated from its imperialist roots, but Fern and d9eoead believed otherwise, the latter stating that it is necessary to abandon the name in the effort to completely erase imperialism and colonialism. | Lemuria feels extreme disdain towards Port Elizabeth's name change to Gqeberha, believing that "Elizabeth" is a "beautiful name" that must be preserved on the map.

[[File:Port elizabeth let me tell you.png|thumb|454x454px|"''wtf is wrong with yall''"]]So far, Lemuria has finished three signs; the first one was griefed and replaced with a sign saying "Gqeberha", the second one was erased; and the third one is a larger version of the second one that now coexists with a similarly-sized "Gqeberha" sign. In October 2025, he began construction on the fourth sign; significantly larger than the third one, which when finished, will display "Port Elizabeth" in a script font. | [[File:Port elizabeth let me tell you.png|thumb|454x454px|"''wtf is wrong with yall''"]]So far, Lemuria has finished three signs; the first one was griefed and replaced with a sign saying "Gqeberha", the second one was erased; and the third one is a larger version of the second one that now coexists with a similarly-sized "Gqeberha" sign.

Lemuria has begun to use the name "Port Elizabeth" in chat unprompted, often without any context or correlation to the current conversation, which is indication that it is now being used as bait. | |||
