April to June

For SBC's yearly April Fools prank, Disney took over the site. Throughout this half of the year, SBC's forums saw a huge dip in activity not seen since 2012 and 2014's dry periods, however, the Discord remained much more popular and active in comparison. This is chalked up to mostly forums becoming obsolete now, but nonetheless, the staff discussed what they could with members in attempts to rejuvenate activity on the forums. A new video game themed event, Arcade Anarchy, took the place of Spin-Off Festival this year, lasting from May 22nd, 2020 to June 14th, 2020. The event served as a tie-in for the remaster of Battle for Bikini Bottom. The games Dunces & Dragons and Wheel of Fortune were both retired by the end of the month in preparation of the new server move.

July to September

On July 7th, 2020, SBC moved its server to a brand new one. Due to this transition, it led to a reboot of the following features which were implemented over the following weeks: iFish, Doubloons and Badges. The Super Spongy Square Games returned, which began July 13th, 2020 and concluded July 31st, 2020. For the first time ever in SBC history, it ended in a tie between the Krusty Krew and Chum Buddies. The staff then allowed users to create their own event idea for August 2020's event, and they chose 4EverGreen's idea of a noir themed event. Noirgust: Mystery with a Twistery began August 14th, 2020 and concluded August 29th, 2020, which was primarily centered around the reoccurring SpongeBob Whodunnit game series.

Site Successes, Features, and Versions

iFish Location Months

Just like last year, several months were dedicated to a specific theme in the iFish Store, releasing old and new items related to locations from the show.

January - Krusty Krab

February - Chum Bucket

March - Jellyfish Fields

April - Goofy Goober's

May - Glove World

June - Goo Lagoon

After June, this was discontinued due to the server move and the staff running out of themes.
