Plat was an active SAMBer in 2014. He was well-known for his participation in RPs and his clan, the Doom Lords, which had a short period of high popularity.

## Early History

Plat's first post was on February 19, 2014. Plat initially only used the forums to participate in RPs, where he was known for writing excessively long POVs and occasionally taking over stories. However, he did create several friends and eventually branched out to the rest of the forums.

## The Doom Lords

After the introduction of clans as a feature to the Spirit Animals game, Plat created the Doom Lords. At first they were a relatively minor clan, but they received wide recognition after Plat posted an intricate backstory to the forums and included references to the clan in many large RPs he was participating in. This shameless self-advertising helped the Doom Lords quickly grow to one of the larger clans on the site, although not quite in the same league as Silver Forest Wolf Clan.

## The TAP

Plat allied his clan with two other clans that belonged to prominent SAMBers, the Dragon Guard (led by Blizz), and the Night Clan (led by Lotus). This publicly-announced allianced gained a lot of attention for both the clans and their leaders, and helped Plat to become one of the more influential SAMBers of that time.

## Republic Greencloak Alliance

Plat was the founder of the RGA (Republic Greencloak Alliance), which sought to unify all the Greencloaks on the forums into one coalition to fight the Conquerors. The RGA managed to garner the support of several thousand characters from hundreds of SAMBers. The group had a few chat threads but never really did much - it was more of a metaphorical alliance. However, it did manage to gain Plat much attention.

## Claim to the Star Throne

Because of how active and well-known Plat was on the SAMB, and because of the popularity of many of his RPs and posts, at one point he mockingly suggested that he may have the most stars of any user on the forums, alluded that he had well over 5,000. However, this claim was disputed. A common and likely theory was that the mods probably had the most stars of any user on the forums, especially King Keith. Plat and several other SAMBers petitioned the mods many times to reveal their star count. Plat jokingly referred to it as a contest between him and King Keith to see who was more popular, which may have been fueled by the fact that both Plat and Keith's main characters looked nearly identical. Some saw this as Plat challenging King Keith for his throne and eagerly played along to see what would happened. Unfortunately, all were disappointed when the mods never directly responded to Plat or his mock challenges. Which was probably for the best, because Plat would've lost hardcore.

## The Blizz War

Plat was one of the many who participated in the Blizz War by vocally voicing support for Blizz and petitioning the mods to allow him back to the forum, a request that was denied. Plat was one of many who followed Blizz to Quotev.

## Shipping

Plat was originally shipped with Sadie on the SAMB because of their interaction in several mutual RPs. The ship survived the migration to Quotev and continued to thrive in the Colony community. The shippers joked that the couple would have to be married in a library because of their shared obsession with reading. Their shipping name was "Slat".

## Parental Banishment

Plat did not remain active on the SAMB for much longer after the Blizz War. One day he posted a long goodbye message about how his parents had banned him from playing Spirit Animals or using the SAMB anymore, and how his sister was posting the message for him. After that point he disappeared from the forums, although there are rumors that he sporadically appeared and posted things in an old threads several times, months and years after his initial disappearance. However, not many were around who remembered him anymore. He is also rumored to have made an appearance in Spirit Animals Multiplayer years after he left.

## Quotev Colony

(full article here)

Plat was one of the original members of the Quotev Colony following the Blizz War. He actively participated in co-op stories and also wrote many individual ones. Following his parental banishment from the SAMB, Quotev became his new homeland. However, eventually he reported that his parents had banned him from Quotev too. But unlike with the SAMB, Plat continued to visit the site weekly and work on stories and chat with others, alledgedly finding opportunities around his parents. He was also one of the members of the Wattpad Colony. Eventually Plat went inactive without warning, one of many disappearances during the decline of the Quotev Colony.

## Reappearance

Hey! This is Plat. Recently I was thinking about the old SAMB and wanted to visit it again, but to my dismay, I found that the site had been taken down a year ago! But while I was searching, I found the Scholastica Wiki site on Fandom, which led me to here: the Scholastic Forums Wiki. So on June 1st, 2020, I reunited with the remains of the SAMB community, along with the other MBs. I've joined the Fandom Colonies and the Discord Colonies, which - to my knowledge - are the most cohesive parts of what's left of the community (I would join Home Base too, but that's kind of a kid's game, plus it would difficult to find other old SAMBers, and it's unlikely they would be on there, plus I feel like that game kinda erases the individual identity that the SAMB had, no offense to those who play it).

It's great to be reunited with the SAMB again, but at the same time, it's kinda sad because while the community may still exist in name, everyone I knew personally is gone, and all the old threads are deleted too. Some parts of the past are gone forever, and the best I can do is try and record what I remember so I don't lose that too. So thanks for reading these history articles, and thanks to everyone who has collaborated on them.
