Popular Post Jjs Goodman Posted August 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Happy 10th birthday, SBC! (Credit to Cha for this image) 10 years ago on this very day, terminoob created a small refuge community on forumotion to get away from tv.com\'s staff. It would not open its doors to the public until fall 2009, and like several other tv.com escape offshoots at the time, many assumed it would not take off at all. They would be right, but through a combination of community teamwork and possibly just luck, here we are 10 years later. I could say much about my own experiences on SBC, but honestly, I’d rather not make this about me. This celebration is for the members. What made SBC so special was its strong community, staff and most importantly, all the members over the years that helped it grow into the plant it is today. While I cannot say for sure what the future will hold, the fact we made it this far makes me realize SBC will always be around in some form. There is something truly special, almost magical, about this site and the community it attracted. SBC is not a place, it’s a people. I give a special thanks to everyone, new and old, who has stuck around through the site’s ups and downs. With how important the community is, over the past few weeks, I asked several users to write up sentimental toasts for SBC, similar to what we did five years prior. Here they are below (note you'll probably have to open a few in another tab to see them). Do not feel left out though, because if you have your own sentimental posts to make, by all means, make them here. Happy 10 years, and once again, thank you, everyone! We have a multitude of activities for this event we hope many will partake in. Edited August 19, 2019 by jjsthekid 11 5 2 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Squidward Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Happy 10 years to such a cool community! I’m happy I finally have been more active and make new friendships with people like Hayden and Jjs, among others. I feel so bad for not being as active years before god what was wrong with me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmandagiraffe Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Ik I haven't been here for all that long, but I just want to say that my first year on SBC has been a pleasant one and it's been nice getting to know (or re-know) all of you. Crazy to think that I've only been around for just one-tenth of this forum's existence. I hope the next ten years on here will be just as great, if not even better. Happy 10th birthday, fellow SBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Jacko Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I joined SBC a year ago and I'm glad I made more friends on the Discord server, especially SBM migrants like me. Despite some incidents, I like this community and it would be nice if we get to 20 years. Happy 10th SBC!

ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Hard to believe SBC is already 10 years old! Time flies haha. I still remember browsing on this site years ago to keep up with the latest SpongeBob content. I never would have guessed back then that SBC would become such an important part of my life. All the fantastic memories I've had here with an awesome community of members. I know I don't visit as often anymore, but SBC will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone for making this such a wonderful place to be! Edited August 19, 2019 by jjsthekid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverGreen Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) It really is amazing that this website has managed to last a good, LONG ten years, through all its changes! I've been through a lot of changes myself (not that you can tell by looking at my avatar), but I've gone from working part-time at Bob's Big Boy as a Busboy, to working part-time at a University Cafeteria as a Dish-cleaner, to working part-time at an art gallery doing miscellaneous tasks. And of course, expanding my music knowledge and comprehension, by amassing to what is now a 10,000+ song collection on my portable computer, featuring at least 300 different singers and/or music groups! Here's hoping the Spongebob Community continues being it's rocking self for ANOTHER ten years! Enough said, true believers!

70s Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I really can't wrap my head around the idea that SBC has been around for 10 years. I was only 12 years old when the forum was created, it was a huge part of my youth. Moving around so much, it's easy to start to feel isolated and having a constant group of understanding friends to talk to here was a gift. I'm not here as much as I'd like to be anymore, but I'm so happy that it's still around. This site has made so many lasting friendships and been so important for so many of us, normally I find it cheesy when in this scenario people say they're looking forward to another ten years because I feel like that's never gonna happen. But in this case... why not? Happy anniversary to the best community on the internet. Edited August 19, 2019 by jjsthekid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Mama Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I remember I was just 15 years old when I first posted on SBC. Just some nerdy shy lil high school girl on her iPod Touch with a huge passion for Spongebob. Over the past 8 years I’ve had some crazy good times on SBC. Not to mention I’ve met some of the most caring, unique, hilarious friends a Sauce Mama could ask for. When it comes to people I come across in life, if I can be my complete self around you, you’re a keeper. And that’s why I love you guys cuz from the time I signed up to now, I could be my true self and I thank you for that. A lot about me has changed over the past 8 years but I still love coming here to catch up with the friends that I truly care for. So thank you to everyone that makes this site so damn special.

Matthew L. Littlemore Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Thank you everyone! I joined here in 2016 and met some of the most compassionate and greatest people on here. I hope to make more memories here by winning the last Jeopardy, listening to rip screw, and most importantly watching Slapstick - CartoonMania! Thank you to everyone that put all of their effort into this site and it will always be the #1 spongebob site!

Aquatic Konquest Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I can't believe SBC is 10 years old...just goes to show how wonderful the community is! I don't even think I could perfectly go on to say how much the community means to me - and believe me, I've been thinking about what I would say for quite a while - but I'd like to try now and compile my thoughts the best I can. I've only been a member of the site since 2017, practically the tail-end of the site's first decade, and even then I wasn't a truly active member around these parts until 2018. As much as I love - or have loved - the sponge this forum adores so, my reasoning for being active around these parts recently is instead due to the wonderful community this site has and how close everyone is with one another. Being a member on SBC, I've come across so many wonderful people with various personalities, each one charming in their own unique way. And it's been a reason why I've felt so attached to this place.The feeling of a tight-knit community with open, loving arms is there and it is due to such solidarity the site has managed to thrive in it way it has and, for me personally, has been one of the reasons I've always loved it here since becoming more active. I definitely feel like my life wouldn't be the same without this community and all the wonderful people it has introduced me to. I love you all! The fact that a forum dedicated to a cartoon starring an anthropomorphic sponge has thrived for a decade goes to show that it's not just about SpongeBob that keeps us together, but it's also about the community. A community that shows an undying love for the show it was created in dedication to. A community that continues to provide us with a platform to connect with others that lead to blossoming, long-term online friendships. So here's 10 years of the SpongeBob Community. A community, with the effort and passion of both the staff and member alike, that has, does, and will continue to stick together through thick and thin, and I couldn't be any more grateful and honored to be a part of that world. No I toootally did not intend on ending with a Little Mermaid reference shush your face. Edited August 19, 2019 by jjsthekid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
