Also on July 18th, [[SpongeBuddy Mania]] admin ssj4gogita4 created a (now-deleted, but [http://dirtydan.ga/sbmdrama/ mostly archived]) thread on SBM, in which he came to the defense of Face, as well as [[Spongetron Robotpants]] and disgraced SBC admin [[Cream]], the latter two of whom had been previously suspended from SBC for their involvement in [[Metalgate]]. All three had been banned from SBM by then-mod [[Trophy]] for victim-blaming Kylie regarding her relationship with MDPP. In this thread, ssj stated that he had unbanned all three members banned by Trophy, and that he had wanted to ban both MDPP and Kylie from the site. He also attempted in his first post to shift more of the blame for the relationship between the two onto Kylie and her family, stating, among other things, that "while MDPP is the adult here, | Also on July 18th, [[SpongeBuddy Mania]] admin ssj4gogita4 created a (now-deleted, but [http://dirtydan.ga/sbmdrama/ mostly archived]) thread on SBM, in which he came to the defense of Face, as well as [[Spongetron Robotpants]] and disgraced SBC admin [[Cream]], the latter two of whom had been previously suspended from SBC for their involvement in [[Metalgate]].

Similarly to MDPP's "Resignation" before it, this thread was met with near-universal backlash from every member who replied, with many criticizing ssj for his actions, as well as his insistence on treating the entire situation as being typical forum "drama." The outrage caused by the thread resulted in numerous SBM members permaneltly leaving SBC out of disgust towards ssj's handling of the situation. Most notably, [[President Squidward]] forced the staff of SBM to permanently ban him from the site in October, wanting to make his leave permanent. A handful of members also remained active on both sites, but continued expressing their displeasure on SBM, including directly to the staff. | Similarly to MDPP's "Resignation" before it, this thread was met with near-universal backlash from every member who replied, with many criticizing ssj for his actions, as well as his insistence on treating the entire situation as being typical forum "drama."
