LMNB, Inc.

LMNB, Inc. (short for Lyons/Mortensen/Nichols/Bourne) is a British-American label (former mass media holding company). It was first formed as Lyons/Nichols/Bourne as a joint venture between DLE Corporation, Darren Pipster Studios, and Comictoon Productions following the partnership between Dan P. Lyons, Darren Pipster, and Marshall Bourne that was formed on May 2, 2020. The company's first production was planned to be the Jungle Forest Gang short film, Life of Danny Cat, but was cancelled due to polygamy and other controversies.

On September 5, 2020, it was announced that Lyons/Nichols/Bourne would be changed and rebranded to Lyons/Mortensen/Nichols/Bourne to include Alexander Mortensen's involvement, thus adding French Fry Animations to the joint venture.

Since December 4, 2020, it was established as a holdings company and was renamed once again to LMNB, Inc., obtaining distribution rights to hit franchises including The Rodfellows, The Data Crew, Comix Shorts, Comix Minis, and The TRF Data Crew, as well as producing original projects such as Life of Danny Cat and Day in the Life of a Mystical Wolf.

On December 5, 2020, the deal with Harmonic Entertainment and LMNB Inc. went through and LMNB became a Harmonic company. Ten days later, the change was reversed and on December 17, 2020, SnouterCWK acquired LMNB.

On January 28, 2021, LMNB, Inc. terminated their ownership with SnouterCWK following corporate arguments and drama. The following day, Horizon Galaxy Enterprises (later known as NeatStorm Entertainment) was in the talks of acquiring LMNB, Inc.

On February 2, 2021, LMNB, Inc. closed down as a company and was folded into GlideFan's Azul Gemstone Entertainment (later known as Phantom Studios), however survives as a label until the company was relaunched by Peppermint City Entertainment on February 8, 2021.

As of April 22, 2021, after Peppermint City Entertainment liquidate all assets and cease operations, LMNB, Inc. went independent and since May 2021, LMNB closed as a company again and is now a label.

As a result of the JFG and TDC assets being leaked and continued drama, LMNB was officially made defunct on July 5, 2021. It lasted one year, one month, and five days.

Ban of Bill Jensen talk
On January 19, 2021, LMNB announced on both their Discord server and their Twitter page stating that anything relating to Bill Jensen or the Christianity Hotline was banned from LMNB and all of its affiliated servers following an incident where Darren Pipster posted a video of Bill Jensen in the car wash on YouTube (what made it controversial was the laughing emojis and the video's name mentioning that Bill was "kidnapped" despite the fact that he was in the car wash with three other people). The following day, drama began to erupt in wake of the decision, which began with Colton Stigall begging Justin Prichard to lift the ban and Criterion leaving the server.

On January 21, 2021, Nine Former then cut all ties with both LMNB and SnouterCWK accusing them of 'violating the 1st Amendment'. Nine Former soon went into hiding and with him and Jon making up a week later. Nine Former is still in hiding.

At some unknown date, the Bill Jensen talk ban was lifted.

Acquisition by Horizon Galaxy Studios and Azul Gemstone Entertainment (Later Phantom Studios)
On February 2, 2021, LMNB, Inc. closed down as a company and was folded into GlideFan's Azul Gemstone Entertainment (later known as Phantom Studios), however survives as a label until the company was relaunched by Peppermint City Entertainment on February 8, 2021.

PCE closure and independence; Subsequent return to being a label
On April 22, 2021, amid rising toxicity and drama, Nichols announced in a livestream that he admitted his entire toxicity and announced his return to being an independent content creator. In addition, he announced that Peppermint City Entertainment would liquidate all assets and cease operations. PCE officially left the airwaves at 12 AM Central Time during a final transmission stream Nichols made.

After PCE operations were defunct, LMNB Inc. now became an independent company.

Sometime in May 2021, LMNB closed as a company yet again and has became a label and programming block on Pipster Network and CTN.

Closure
On July 5, 2021, Carter Keown accidentally leaked the assets to LMNB's former properties, The Jungle Forest Gang and The Data Crew. This resulted in massive drama erupting, which eventually lead to one of the pioneers, Dan P. Lyons, departing. In result, it was announced that LMNB would liquidate all assets and cease operations.
