EventVM
EventVM is a special VM on CollabVM which the admins open for a temporary period of time, to host some kind of event that they have planned. It was introduced on September 1st, 2023, after a significant spark of activity occurred in the official CollabVM20 Gmail account, which incited inspiration to do a scambaiting session. The first event held was exactly that - the "scammer bullshit" event, in which the admins trolled a scammer while showing it to the public, to much hilarity. Out of it started many new injokes, such as "Timothy Epstein" and others.

Description
Around the time of the scambaiting event (this will vary depending on the event), the VM had an intentionally painful to look at desktop, in a similar vein to VM 0b0t. The resolution is above 1024x768, but for good reason. The VM was meant to be disguised as a real computer, which was in line with the scambaiting event and therefore does not necessitate using 1024x768.
Many things can be seen - WPS Office, the legendary Google Chrone, most of Ninite's programs, the entirety of the PopCap Game Collection, all of the taskbar bloat enabled by default, a hilarious wallpaper, an absolutely HORRID Chrome theme, and other things.
Events
- September 1st 2023 ("scammer bullshit"):
- The first event ever to be held in the EventVM. It lasted a few hours, and it was fairly active, pretty good for its first day on the site. Recordings of it in full are known to exist, especially the Events voice channels and the actual calls that were made to the scammers. There were full real-time recordings of the Events voice channels the day the event happened thanks to the Craig Discord bot that was specially invited in for the occassion, but are forever gone out of negligence, sadly.
