At one point there used to be a particular logo which belonged to a restaurant, which is commonly associated with CollabVM forkies. Why, more importantly, where did it all come from? Well, the context for that also ties to how Forkies got their name, which we will cover later on in this section.
Not too long ago, there used to be a restaurant located in South Africa named "Forkies Real Food Parlour", which sold various things such as baked meals, Cuban-style pressed sandwiches, pizza in different flavors ("Oh My Veggies", "The Pig", "Jamaica Me Crazy", "Signature", "Autograph", ''great names by the way''), and pizza pie ("Fork-Off Chicken"), along with craft beer ("Boston Breweries: Naked Mexican", "Darling Breweries: Gypsy Mask", "Jack Black: Lumberjack"), local beer, imported beer, ciders and coolers, whisky, a cocktail ("Cuba Libre"), Brampton wine, craft iced tea and tisers / sparkling/still water / coffee ("Pour-over (Brazilian: Single Origin)").
They had a website, which was infamously used as a "forkie" tool to lag out everybody on the site (at the time this was when the server was still using PNG without any compression to display the VM picture, this was early 1.2.x era) back in 2016. This was because the site has many large, animating graphics which was incredibly CPU intensive (it also lagged the VM in and out of itself out because CollabVM was running on a cheap VPS at the time). Later on, it got mirrored on its own as "Last Resort" on collabvm.org, which used to be a CollabVM portal before it got replaced with the now-dead CollabVM Anarchy Wiki. You can't do this as much anymore, because the server as well as the hosting has upgraded a lot since then. The original forkies.com site also went down as well, so there.
