The McDonaldland invasion happened during the year Bass left.

When ProjectX2 took on the identity of Grimace, a McDonaldland character, complete with avatar, signature and posting style, he accidentally initiated a desire among other members to adopt fashionable McDonaldland identities of their own. Here is an incomplete list of members who participated in the McDonaldland invasion:

• ProjectX2, became Grimace
• moonmaster became Ronald McDonald
• McCheese's name remained the same
• Planet-man had an avatar of Mayor McCheese, but did not take the name, as there would be some confusion between the two McCheeses
• thee great one was going to become Birdie, but he was too slow
• ourchair wanted to be Hamburglar, and adopted the avatar, but he was too slow

In an attempt to stop the situation, ProjectX2 changed his name to Bass Version 2.0, hoping that everyone would come together under Bass. He was wrong and changed his name back to ProjectX2.
