The Greencloak Message Board

The Greencloak Message Board was released on September 10, 2013. This was a beta SAMB, and would go through a number of updates before the final design was settled on. The header for the forum, usually a nod to a newly released book in later years, was simplistic and remained for only a year and a half before being updated.
At its start, the Greencloak Message Board was just like many other new MBs. Everyone went by their username, posts were minimal, and most threads didn't get more than three responses. The first SAMBers came from the already established Spirit Animals game, although there is also evidence of early colonization from the T39CMB, created several months earlier. Almost all non-introductory posts were about the books or the game—a noticeable contrast to the SAMB in later years which almost never brought either up.
The Greencloak Message Board later became the Spirit Animals Message Board, or SAMB, though people had been referring to it as the SAMB long before the name change was made official. Members came and went, and the SAMB changed drastically from its earlier days. Despite this, the SAMB remained a constant for many SAMBers, providing a safe place to write, have fun, and grow up. The SAMB was a second home for many, full of friends who genuinely cared about their wellbeing. As most SAMBers tended to be quiet and introverted in their day to day life, this sense of community was particularly valuable.
