{{Forkie}}[[File:Forkieinaction.png|thumb|An example of a CollabVM machine after being destroyed by a "Forkie"]]
 
A "'''Forkie'''" is a nickname typically given to someone who maliciously causes destruction or otherwise renders the virtual machines unusable to annoy, intimidate and/or troll users of [[CollabVM]]. They are often unfortunately categorized by CollabVM users via the [[Fags|F-slur]]. It is likely the side effect of the many 4chan raids that took place through the site's history, infecting it with its toxic culture and terminology, creating bad habits in the many of people who would go on to use the site, more likely than not being completely unaware of its derogatory meaning, and forming a toxic community from years of anarchy-like rule.
 
Although their name derives from the term "[[fork bomb]]" (and was the original definition of Forkie), they do not exclusively run [[fork bomb|forkbomb]]sforkbombs. A forkie may also run an executable which prevents anything from opening, deleting the registry, or other methods of blocking usability on the VM. Sometimes, through various ways.
 
Not too long ago, a vote to reset button was added to combat forkies along with a customized task manager (and later a customized command prompt), which is mostly actually successful at defeating nearly every forkie, although a forkie will eventually figure out how to bypass it and break the VM again immediately afterwards.
