HereIsFree.com

By Definition HereIsFree is a web application for holding discussions and posting user generated content. HereIsFree is also commonly referred to as HIF. The term "here is free" refers to the message board's mafioso philosophy. The forum performs a similar function as the dial-up bulletin board systems and Internet newsgroups that were numerous in the 1980s and 1990s. Discusión General, Smash Bros, and Retro Gaming are very popular sub-forums of HIF, but there are also sub-forums for a number of other topics.

Reputation and Philosophy

The discussion board hereisfree.com was created by some of ign.com's most infamous users, many of which have been permanently banned from the aforementioned website's message board system altogether. Currently hereisfree.com is growing at an exponential rate; as many as 3 new users have joined daily since it spawned out of it's predecessor: masterblaster.tomkinet.com forums. Although most of the regular users on hereisfree.com have acquired notorious reputations for being misanthropic and unnecessarily intolerant toward new posters, in truth they are a very gentlemanly group who only wish to instill good values and posting habits for the future generations of posters on all forums and message boards; but especially ign.com's Super Smash Bros. board, as it has perpetually become a haven for vexatious message-boardees.

Jihad A formal, non-partisan declaration of war on a rival message board or forum.

The Black List The black list refers to a list of a group of posters on ign.com's Super Smash Bros board who were being obnoxious during the smashdojo.com updates era. When they wouldn't cooperate with Ultimate_Cartman's investigation, refusing to admit to being annoying, or to name names of others who might be obnoxious, they were sentenced to jihad for contempt of message boarding civility. They were also blacklisted from posting on ign, until Emunator found a way to possibly lift such bans. Nonetheless, though the comrades at hereisfree.com were forced to terminate the blacklist on October 22, 2007, in the words of x-leader of the Jihad force MeGaBiTe (aka Ultimate_Cartman), "just don't **** with the Jihad". This quote from the once feared Jihad leader remains inexplicable to date, leaving many of the previously blacklisted users unnerved.
