Visual Timeline
The Early Days
The Early Days were seen by some as the glory days of SATS where everything was tame and the talk was generally geared toward the band. The board got attention mostly on April 11, 2005 when it was featured on the AbsolutePunk.net website. Although the main site was advertised, this would be one of the hugest registration dates in SATS history. On that day, future Hall of Famer's Cheddar, Yo Soy El Dan, and Monster would join on this day. Other notable members joining were Chris Lien, goodbyetiger, Scooter McDweeb, A Hybrid, and bobgatsby.
More would join to completely make up The Early Days. April 12-13, 2005 saw another day full registrations from future prominent members of the SATS community. Stand-out members include themagpieswarble, mattchuckm, and OMG Courtney.
These days would end soon, as the day Hall of Famer Mr 50 signed up would mark the end of The Early Days.
Ease Into Comfortability
Already starting to stand out from the rest with the unorthodox style of discussion, SATS was slowly tokyo drifting away from the other fansites around at the time. This era is designated from June 28, 2005 to October 31, 2005. Ironically, this would be the first Dark Age of SATS. Future banned members such as onegirlarmy, sugary1015, and dandy_hand would plague the board with their unappreciated existance.
This era wasn't so bad, as nicgatsby, doolly012, sepia and his dick, t rex goes rawr, kaily_tiger (later to be renamed kailygail) and Brakkiss all registered.
The Blessing and The Curse
The next generation of SATS would be one of the saddest in SATS history. The blessing from this era was that it gave is Saber and Wiseguy Orwell. However, during this period, it wasn't Wiseguy Orwell, but Vesuvius Orwell.
The curse was that this era saw the demise and disappearance of SATS Hall of Famers Yo Soy El Dan, Mattchuckm, and Monster, which allowed free reign for the new joinees. This led to a more traditional and Orwell led board. Along with dandy_hand, Emilio, and Ambrose, Vesuvius Orwell was able to destroy SATS with no one there to put him in his place.
Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday
The start of the new year brought back Yo Soy El Dan and Monster, and this time the price was much bigger to pay for newbie SATS members. Orwell would be in for the biggest shock and one of the most severe hazings seen since the arrival dandy_hand. Though it took some time, Orwell was thrown from power and SATS was on the upswing. Sugary1015 was at her nigger height, but soon she'd be stuck at that level, only this time hanging by her throat as Monster would lay down what can be seen as his first essay style pwn and Sugary would be banned promptly after. During this time, Yo Soy El Dan was able to secure a spot on the moderating team thanks to Monster and the duo were now unstoppable, and the return of mattchuckm could only bring good.
SATS was now in need of a new change to unite it's newer members and restore the balance and what comes next would actually be an event happening a second time.
The Second Circa Survive Invasion
SATS members were hungry to establish their respectful spots on the board and this would be one of the turning points in SATS history. In a SATS Chat on AIM, the idea came across to go onto the Circa Survive Forum and pwn them all. They turned to dirty tricks, attacking our board with a fleet of spammers. Scott Weber was on the scene so fast, the nigga got whiplash when he sat in his computer chair and began deleting everything they were throwing at us.
Our army, though weak at the start would stay on their board creating as many threads as possible, many times using the same pictures to spam. Back at SATS, mattchuckm did his best in his drunken state to reply to each and every post made by the depressed Circa Survive forum members.
In the end, the SATS forum came out on top, proud of themselves, each other, and the band that united us all. In a random bout, a few worthy SATSers would top the invasion in a new and unheard of way.
On the horizon was Saber and soon he would join the hall of fame ranks, as he joined Mr 50, Monster, and Yo Soy El Dan to provide one of the greatest threads in SATS history called "Snicker At The Swine Pt. 1". A live text and jpg adaption of the amatuer short story written by dandy_hand. It didn't end with the parody, but continued with more dandy_hand photoshopped and macro'd images to follow. Soon, the thread would be locked and forever stickied in general discussion, though it didn't need it. One Brew would live on to this very day.
Wolfbear Era
The wolfbear era was quick. He barely got to 100 posts before he was banned for being an obnoxious hipster.
The New Golden Age
This was good. As it featured Dance Dance Matt, dandy_hand's reviews, but, however, led themagpieswarble to leave SATS temporarily.
Detour
Sometime between Rey Mysterio winning the World Heavyweight Title and Dandy_hand quitting SATS, Monster was banned. Not much happened, the forums died down as many stopped posting in protest of Monster's banishment.
Return to Greatness
Monster would make his triumphant return and SATS would never be better. Great new members were coming through like Coonor, Emilio, and one huge surprise, Vesuvius Orwell was graduating into his now popularly known Wiseguy title. Jason Tate of AP.net would also come to SATS, and unsuccessfully defending the shitty music he listens to and loves.
SATS would continue to innovate through this time, featuring new mods (kailygail and mattchuckm) for a new Serious Discussion forum, a new and fun game, Werewolves, The Game.. Also, a new SATS phrase was introduced, BOOYAH, after a ball draining porn video from mattchuckm. SATS Chats would become a permanent thing as it moved from AIM to IRC.
Lastly, FTF was unofficially invaded and had it's spirit crushed thanks to many SATS Hall of Famers, as well as future Hall of Famers.
Current SATS
Things that have happened since last update to the history: Scott Weber quit. Yo Soy El Dan and Monster got bant. Scott Weber returned as (D)Weebs. A million noobs sprouted up, including Sparticus, Jared, KiemRaekerm, TheWisestArse, and most importantly Dave22. These new inductees run the gamut from classic SATS failures (Sparticus) to sometimes whiney, but possibly cool one day (Jared), to total fucking legends (dave22). Monster and Yo Soy El Dan return. Emilio and Scott Weber start unprovoked fights with Yo Soy El Dan, hurting his feelings, but to most, our two friends are welcomed back with open arms. Kevin openly admits his homosexuality. Dandy_hand becomes a lot cooler, along with Chris Lien, gbt, and Ambrose. Sparticus hissy fits his way to the newly introduced SATS Jail. The National History Museum is formed to showcase epic threads. Yo Soy El Dan hits 10,000 posts and becomes mod (once again). According to Kevin, SATS is the 8th most active board of its kind, in the universe. Cheddar discovers Man Man.
