This page contains a list of all SBC forums, sub-forums and categories.

  • Bulletin Board: All news about The SpongeBob Community is posted here. It was originally called "Krabby Kronicle" from 2012 to 2023. Only staff can post new topics here.
    • Staff Lounge: Staff forum. Only Managers, Cashiers, Fry Cooks and Retired Employees have access. It is not used anymore in favor of Discord's staff chat, but is kept as a historic archive. The forum was thought to be a myth in the past; its existence is now widely known. It was possible for normal members to access the Staff Lounge with the now-defunct Become a Mod for a Day item. As of November 12th, 2012, regular members cannot access this forum under any circumstances, however for a time in 2014 a loophole allowed people to see it. From May 1st, 2020 to November 27th, 2020, several infamous threads from the Staff Lounge were shown weekly for Loyal Customers for "Staff Lounge Fight Fridays."
