SlimeBBS

SlimeBBS is an English-language Hyperian web forum. Founded by gox, the site is host to a vast number of boards centered around a wide variety of topics. Owing to its site culture and often contentious relationship with authorities, most registered users do not disclose identifying information about themselves, and the site's registration process demands minimal information from prospective users. Since its founding, SlimeBBS has played a central role in a number of major events involving InfoScape, from multiple memes, art movements (such as the Ecco ArtCollectiv), to various hacktivist organizations, such as NightAnon and Cybergaia, as well as certain political undercurrents among the Coalition's younger generations. As such, SlimeBBS is often cited as a major influence in the past century of InfoScape culture, despite repeat attempts by authorities to compromise the site and its userbase.
SlimeBBS was originally founded as a successor to GoopBoard, a forum website with a similar layout that was raided and shut down by the SIN in 2579 due to the involvement of its userbase in the Pearl Thule Capital Cyberattack. Owing to gox's personal views on InfoScape culture, individual freedoms and anonymity, SlimeBBS possesses incredibly high levels of user info encryption, as well as demanding minimal information from members who register. Faced with meteoric growth after its founding, SlimeBBS quickly established a number of parallel board systems in other star systems, using a federated decentralized model.
SlimeBBS is believed to be an incredibly profitable venture despite the controversial nature of the site and the often vulgar content posted on its boards, on account of advertisers, as it allows advertisements both from willing companies and advertising providers, as well as individual users who can buy ad space for a set amount of time. The site has been run by yoozoo since 2689, whose identity remains unknown.
