Thanks to teenj who guest wrote this one, will be posting it for him. Ah, SBC—otherwise known as The SpongeBob Community. By this point, we all know the story; a forum created by Terminoob in 2009, born from strife and misery over on the TV.com SpongeBob SquarePants boards. Membership grew rapidly over the next few years and gave birth to iconic users still known today, one of the most revered being OMJ, making his debut on January 15, 2011. At least in the timeline you know… But what if OMJ had joined exactly one year earlier in 2010? Episode 15: What If...OMJ Joined a Year Earlier? The story almost plays out the same, him quickly becoming one of SBC’s most popular users with his undeniable comedic wit, but things take a rather unfamiliar turn once we reach this universe’s First SBC Renaissance. OMJ, simultaneously a member on the Avatar Moctv Refuge, came up with a plan to use the infighting between Terminoob and 70s as an opportunity to spread the greatness of Avatar: The Last Airbender. To SBC. With his popularity already at an all-time high, he seized the hearts and minds of many users on this young SBC. Eventually, even 70s got on board with his vision, if only to further stick it to Terminoob. But SBC’s founder refused to go down without a fight, and in this timeline, very literally. So OMJ proposed a genius solution: an in-real-life community deathmatch between the half of SBC that wanted the change, and the half led by Terminoob who didn’t want it. Victor would seize control of the site’s destiny. OMJ arranged for the deathmatch to take place on his home turf, in Hawaii, and so SBCers took to the island and engaged in an all-out, bloody battle, OMJ’s side winning by a hair. And so The SpongeBob Community came to be rebranded as The Avatar: The Last Airbender Community, or AtlaC. OMJ and 70s became co-head admins and went on to craft a forum so popular it enveloped all other Avatar communities at the time, including the MocTV Refuge and AvatarSpirit.Net. The AtlaC’s popularity became so great that it increased the actual show’s popularity by tenfold, and in this timeline, Nickelodeon developed Avatar Studios earlier, eventually hiring AtlaCers such as TJ and AvatarOddFan (AOF) to work alongside them. Avatar: The Last Airbender went on to dominate the channel and become a beloved worldwide phenomenon, leading to SpongeBob SquarePants’ cancellation. World’s smallest violin plays…

The SpongeBob Community, it is a forum that emerged from the ashes of tv.com. It’s a group of friends old and new. Once dedicating their time to appreciate the beloved cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, now it’s a found family sharing their common interests beyond the realms of the cartoon. If I told you that years ago SBC was meant to merge with another SpongeBob fandom group called Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, would you believe me? Of course you wouldn’t. It’s a wild idea that never came to pass. Thankfully so but what would have happened If the staff of SBC had agreed to merge with ESB and it eventually had become an unstoppable consuming product? Find out in today’s episode of SBC What If’s… Episode 3: What If… SBC was owned by a corporation? We are on Earth-46853 and the year is 2013. SBC and ESB had an agreement of merging both places which eventually became The SpongeBob Universe. It was a scary idea that would require both forums adapting to each other’s environment and oh boy they adapted so fast, adapting into never ending arguments and drama but instead of this driving away the members, it eventually got bigger and bigger. Drama became about dragging the conversations, becoming an endless cycle of disagreement and distrust but oh boy members of SBC and ESB got into it. They had a kick out of trashing each other. Somehow SBC never matured because of dealing with ESB’s members and they realized they couldn’t contain all this drama in one big place. Year 2022 and Morbius movie was upon us. Sony decided to make an official Morbius discord server in anticipation of the movie. Reminder to those who read this tale, the movie was never gonna be successful…until SBU decided to raid the server and started trolling the members. It got so out of hand that it was time to shut down the server once and for all but one person who saw an opportunity in all of this chaos and that was Jared Leto, the guy who played Morbius himself. His evil nature decided that “wouldn’t it be the best if you guys could just own SBU?”. He offered it to Sony and Sony took it into consideration. Eventually Sony bought SBU but ESB members of SBU decided this is not gonna work at all, so they all fled and Sony realized that, deciding to eliminate ESB’s accounts once and for all. And they did it alright. Eventually all that was left was SBC members who saw the horrors of it and decided to stay on Sony's leash. Therefore Sony turned SBC into their new IP, a forum that is useful for everyone. But the problem was Sony owning a forum called SpongeBob Community and Paramount did not take this lightly. They decided that merging both companies was the wise option, so they sued Sony that if they don't hand over SBC property to them, they’ll own the entire company. Sony, scared shitless, decided to merge with Paramount and what became in the end was Sonymount company and with that, SBC took off. Year 2036 and SBC members realized that they are unable to age or change because Sonymount decided that the forum should become a forever place with members stuck in a status quo, unable to change, grow and learn. It resulted in them fighting each other over nothing that drove the franchise forward. As years passed by, Sonymount decided to convert every single company under their thumb so that it reached global status. Year 2070, everyone in the world became part of the SBC machine. Governments were dismantled, all that was left was Sonymount claiming rulership over the Earth, insistenting everyone to contribute to the SBC machine. Using everyone’s precious time to feed into capitalism. Merchandises were being made, everyone’s wealth got ruined in a second. Now everyone’s the slave of the forever cycle of discussing SpongeBob and exploiting original members of SBC’s souls so bad, Sonymount decided to turn them into AI generated members that will engage with the world. Year 2104 and the world got turned into an AI hell. Everyone got converted into robots that would feed the machine. Everyone lost, especially SBC members who realized that there’s no way of getting out of this mess. Until they came to the conclusion that 95 years passed by since the creation of SBC. And that meant one thing: Public Domain. The machine that is Sonymount realized that SBC can be freely used by everyone in the world, therefore breaking the cycle and freeing the original members of SBC as well as the rest of the world from the purgatory. Sonymount fell as the world was free from being slaves of the machine and everyone was free to do whatever they wanted. What original SBC members decided was that their time had passed and it was the moment they all accepted the sweet relief of death. They aged up so fast after forced immortality was over. The original members passed away and got the taste of peace for the first time ever.
