====#dapit ====
Originally named #nsfw, this channel was intended to be a subsection for more mature content. The channel became a hotbed for confusion for new members as a result of its name indicating that more mature content was meant to go there. In truth, the channel was rarely used for sexually mature topics and is instead traditionally used to post selfies and memes. The current pinned message reads as follows:<blockquote>"ATTENTION: The NSFW channel is here for slightly more mature content that doesn't fit the general discussion thread as this Discord functions first and foremost a chatbox for a SpongeBob forum; the nature of the discussions had in the general discussion channel should be a reflection of the nature of our community. Conversations revolving around mature content will be directed here."</blockquote>The channel originally gained controversy due to sexually-explicit conversations between minors and adults occurring, which lead to a shift in the channel's focus. The channel was renamed from "#nsfw" to its current on October 14, 2018.
