Notable Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the generation periods. Members who join shortly before the August 15th date are left to the discretion of their activity to determine their generation.

• Mr. Dr. Professor Patrick is considered a Generation 2 member despite his August 10th, 2010 registration (he was not an active member of SBC until January 2011).
• ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 is considered Generation 3. He joined in July 2011, but had to rejoin SBC in September due to the site's moving and his inactivity.
• JCM, despite joining on August 9th, 2011 right before the V7 move, was active, so he's considered as a Generation 2 member.
• CDCB is considered a Generation 2 member despite joining February 8, 2010, because he abandoned his account, only becoming active in October 2010.

Any member that joins on August 15th and after is automatically considered as the next generation without exception.
