| In addition, this very wiki page was found on July 18th to have been mysteriously censored; not only were all mentions of MDPP's name censored, but links above to the image of his threat and to the image archive of the Resignation thread were deleted as well. In addition, MDPP's name was retroactively removed from this page's edit history. Due to the nature and method of the removals, this was speculated to be an attack on the wiki's database by MDPP. | | In addition, this very wiki page was found on July 18th to have been mysteriously censored; not only were all mentions of MDPP's name censored, but links above to the image of his threat and to the image archive of the Resignation thread were deleted as well.

| ===SBM fallout===
| |
| 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, [Kylie] has shown how mature and intelligent she is on the forums."

| 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.

| Curiously, rumors began that MDPP hacked SBC twice in this time period. In the first, he supposedly put Prez on the moderator queue, just after he had been banned from SBM. In the second, he supposedly banned Hawkbit, at the same time as his dispute with ssj alongside Aquatic. While JCM moved to take extra security measures to try and prevent more of what was suspected to be MDPP's attacks, the site's security was known to be in potential jeopardy.

| Tensions came to a head on December 15th, 2018, when ssj made yet another decision to not only unban Face, Tron, and Cream, but in addition, to unban MDPP himself. Though MDPP's main account supposedly remained banned from posting, he continued on SBM as an admin, using an alternate account. This served as the final breaking point for relations between SBC and SBM, and fully reignited the long-dead [[SBM/SBC Feud|rivalry between the sites]]. Many SBC members (including Kylie, [[Aya]], [[Halibut]], Hawkbit, [[BenPaz]], [[RDSP]], and [[Wintermelon43]]) were banned from SBM for lambasting this decision once ssj forcibly silenced further discussion of the entire subject under the pretense of "legal matters." JCM, despite having been largely inactive on the site, was also banned in late January 2019, fracturing the only link SBC and SBM still had left. It is unlikely that the relationship between the two websites will recover after these events.
