The SSBB
From Hereisfree Wiki
The SSBB (Super Smash Bros. Board) is a video game board on ign. It's a place for nerds people to discuss about the video game known as Super Smash Bros.

The CT
The "CT" is a place were board posters talk to each other. CT stands for community thread. Although, it may be called community thread, not everybody is welcomed there. In order to post there you have to be an intelligent poster but you don't have to be too intelligent, just smart enough to be called a good user. A lot of the SSBB regs and vets posted there regularly with good and meaningful post. They also had some good disscusions. Everything was going good until '07; the invasion of idiot noobs. In '07 most users left the board (and the CT) because of the noob invasion. Although, not all '07 users were bad, but it just difficult to tell which ones were good. Now the CT is full of people that over use the face_mischief, talk about buttsecks, act gay, post like this: Hi guys how are you?, make small, meaningless post, act gay, posts in colors,act gay, and act gay.
The Board
The board itself was pretty decent before '07. It had more smart people and less idiots. All was going well until 2007 hit. The noobs came. The big hype of super smash bros. brawl had attracted many idiots, idiots like Toad_Allstar2, Dafool23, and Wii_is_mii_J. It also attracted non-'07 users like scorptile, spigelwii, and Puffteam, all of which are very dumb. Most regs gave up on ign in the summer of '07, were the board had completely lost it's touch. Without any regs(or a mod) the place fell apart with idiots, riots, off-topic and dumb threads. Without regs(and a mod) there was no one that could scold idiots about their mistakes; they could be as dumb as they want and get away with it. As of right now, it's full of dumbasses with very little common sense.
OMG MOD!!!
In late '07 an SSBB user got modded, and his name was EMUNATOR!!! Surprisingly, it wasn't dillo64 who had a very high chance because of his vet status. Emunator is a reg who joined in '05 and has very high respect. He helped the boards from becoming crappier and he also stopped TrialofFire from doing his monthly riots. Although he isn't too active which isn't quite good but he's still doing a good job. Sadly, he can't make the board as good as it used to be.
Rioting and "Hacking"
The smash board has had a small history of rioting and has barely gotten a history on hacking. The riots usually occuered when a user went beserk because he got flamed by way too many users or flamed by a couple of good users. The "hacking" didn't occur until the user sonicdjs had given out his photobucket password, "ravioli". The user killarob had then went in his account and deleted all the stuff sonicdjs made. This was when we decided to mess with his account. We put random pics and porn and hoped to get his account deleted, and it did! We were thinking that sonicdjs had the same password for his ign account, and he did!. Thus, was the beggining of ign user hacking. Many of the HereIsFree(known as master blaster at the time) users had gone on his account and started to riot with it, which had gotten him permabanned. Many months later, the user icewaterdragon had pissed many of us off with his stupidity(which was most likely caused by his newly aquired insider) and that's when we wanted to "hack" him. We tried putting his name(denzel) for his password, because he was dumb enough to make it his pass, and it worked! We got in Icewaterdragon's account. At first, someone was posting random crap in the CT but no one believed him so the first hacker was safe. And then, that's when most users from HIF decided to riot with his account and get him permabanned. A day after, we wanted to "hack" someone else so we were trying stupid people and putting their name as their password. Then, that's when we got him; scorptile; we hacked into scorptile's account. We rioted with it until he got perma'd. It had a great imapact on the board and it ascared many users. It also started a fued with HIF and smash ign. HIF became infamous on the smash board because of this.
How long this board will remain crappy
Due to the delay of brawl, SSBB will remain this cheap until sometime in '08 or longer. Sad. Maybe the board will always be like this, though. Hopefully not.
