The drama following the Civil War, coupled with a slow site running on vBulletin, crippled SBC's activity. Following the coup that removed 70s, tvguy became the de facto lead administrator of SBC but was soon embroiled in site-wide controversy following the [[Roger's Lightbulb Fight 2012|Roger's Lightbulb incident]] in early 2012, prompting his own resignation. 70s had been reinstated as an admin in December, but abdicated administrative responsibility and had essentially left the site by January. He resigned from the staff altogether in February 2012, leaving [[Wumbology]] and jjs as the sole members of the admin panel. Turmoil continued to grip the site and in March, SBC was shut down for a week by LunarPages for overusing its resources – a direct result of vBulletin. Activity was at an all-time low as SBC moved onto phpBB3, free forum software. CDCB was hired as a new administrator a week after 70s's resignation. SBC was in the wilderness, without a clear leader, without direction, and slowly dying. tvguy spoke to 70s about this, and the two agreed they could not let the site die, and so reunited to redevelop the Community. The new push was called [[Orca 8|the Orca Project]], although 70s quickly fell out of planning and the new SBC was forged primarily between tvguy and MDPP. | The drama following the Civil War, coupled with a slow site running on vBulletin, crippled SBC's activity.

Launched on June 15, 2012, Orca pumped new life into the site, featuring games and a chat party on the Xat the night of the release. Orca received universal acclaim and the site's activity rebounded considerably. tvguy sent out emails to old members and pivoted SBC back towards SpongeBob – ironic, considering the reason he had resigned earlier in the year was because others had disagreed with him about turning the site into a My Little Pony forum. tvguy assumed full control as the new main admin, now called the [[Director in Chief]] with several self-placed democratic restraints on his power to avoid another power struggle.

This was intended to balance the power of the staff and avoid the type of drama that had plagued the staff since SBC's inception. tvguy oversaw the design overhaul of SBC throughout his tenure, including the further releases of Orca 8.2 and Orca 8.3. He founded and orchestrated the SpongeBob network known as SpongeBob Universe, which officially came into existence in November 2012. It consisted of SBC, the SpongeBob Wiki, and the SpongeBob Fanon and would come to include new sites, such as [[Treedome Daily]]. This partnership catapulted SBC to new heights. The forums continued to lead SBM is activity throughout tvguy's administration. The largest [[Octerror Fest]] in SBC's history was held in 2012. However, in June 2013, a blowout argument between jjsthekid and tvguy led to their resignations. Aquatic Nuggets was chosen by tvguy to become the new Lead Admin. | This was intended to balance the power of the staff and avoid the type of drama that had plagued the staff since SBC's inception. tvguy oversaw the design overhaul of SBC throughout his tenure, including the further releases of Orca 8.2 and Orca 8.3.
