Rise of SAMB Families

As clans gained popularity in the SAMB, another type of group was created: the SAMB family. The first SAMB family, the Yzarcs, was created by Rabit.
The structure of the forum family varied between each group, but many chose to assign titles within the family. Many families had forum dads, forum aunts, forum cousins, foreign cousins, forum stray cats, forum twins, etc. 
Family names often went into the MBer's signatures. Some MBers only were in  one or two families, others were in many. One SAMBer, Blaise Istarliunsvell-Bloom-Kaibigan-Lunice-Saryn-Solanajumelle-Takamoto-Hopewell-Nut, joined 9 families and holds the record for the SAMB's longest name. 
Some families were made to appeal to a certain demographic. (i.e. "This family is for people who...") but many were made just to find forum friends. The last names were often decided after several members joined, and frequently reflected a certain aspect or trait the members felt represented them well. However, some names were chosen because they just sounded stinkin' cool.
