On the weekend of January 29, 2016, a mini-forum event happened to celebrate SpongeCraft's one year anniversary, called SpongeCraft Anniversary. It was a smaller scale forum event, and ended February 1, 2016. Another moderator application was held from January 29, 2016 to February 12, 2016 to replace CNF1, who had been less active on SBC.
