Sleepywood Sold, Old Site Probably Gone Forever

I regard this with mixed feelings. While there's more of a "HELL YEAH DOWN WITH YOU PEACHES" element to it, I suppose I did have some fun browsing there ages ago.

I used to post on sleepywood quite a bit..but it seemed pretty dead overall.

I miss those server subforums and "The Hot Babe/Hot Asian Babe Thread". But other than that I was there because of the (once) big community. SW has been in the past for me for few years now.

As long as we are talking about old dead MapleStory based forums. I miss Bellardia, that place was the bomb-diggity.


On the subject of Sleepywood, I joined the forum but never used it enough to think of myself as a member of it. So I never got to witness all the horrors people speak of.

"The Hot Babe/Hot Asian Babe Thread".

May that thread RIP, probably one of my favourite parts of SW over the years.

"one of my favourite parts"

I really wish we had archives of it, if anything. Kind of sad to see all that history gone, especially since they decided sometime in 2012 to wipe the forums and put everything in their dumb archive forum messing sh`it up.

):

iirc it was just one admin who was tasked to archive certain threads that were past a date, but they screwed up and archived pretty much EVERYTHING, including threads from the mod forum. I wasn't around when it actually happened, but they apparently didn't make a backup and there were just so many threads archived that they had to throw everything in one pile, including said moderator subforum threads.

Although it was an embarrassment on the staff's part, it was an amazing way for the members to see how each mod really acted behind the scenes; e.g. whether they were being reasonable or unreasonable, or who actually gave a damn about things like warn redemptions.

Every memory I had from this game almost always revolved around Broa and Bowmen sectios on Sleepy. From Zak run schedules, to Jjang HT runs taking the first user on a run to buy a pendant and egg, to all the fun drama that actually made the game even funner.

Yep, but all dead.

It's really not worth coming back to since the community's all but fallen apart.

That's a shame. Even though I didn't want to have anything to do with MT anymore, I never wanted it to crash and burn like that.

And their stance on hacking discussion/witch hunting at SW, makes me wonder if that would still work as a forum policy now.

Can you elaborate on that for the unfamiliar?

I believe it was that Adura would go out of his way to ban anyone he suspects is a hacker, or has played on Private servers. I do know he purposely confronted and demanded to know if Congee (one of the mods) played on a Private server. She admitted to have played on a Private server, and got permabanned for it. It's rather hypocritical seeing Adura himself either made a Private server or plays in one as well.

If you can count this as witch hunting, we can add in Stereo, whom Adura worked his ass off on eliminating the rest of his alt accounts by purposely DDOSing his own site so to draw out Stereo and deleted his remaining accounts.

There's more to the story, I'm very sure of it. I'm only recalling what I DO remember.

wait what? can you elaborate how that even works? (the relationship between DDoS and stereo)

Adura knew, despite perma-banning Stereo on his main account, he had alt accounts somewhere. Therefore, Adura DDOSed Sleepywood (yes he crashed his own site), claiming Stereo was the one who hacked Sleepywood out of revenge (since Stereo's main account got banned AND his posts got deleted from the public). This of course tarnished Stereo's name and is an outright lie. Stereo had to go on alt accounts to refute such slander, which was exactly what Adura wanted since he drew Stereo out and was able to ban those accounts as well.

So sad to see a site like that gone. It made a lot of memories come back to mind.. I even had 1.5k+ posts on there!

And it was where I got to know of this beautiful forum called "Southperry".

Oh well. I didn't even visit it anymore, but it makes me sad to see it gone. I really hope it's just a server move for real.

I always wondered about that Stereo madness. There was never any mention of it in the sleepywood staff archive, only the public announcement.

There are a whole hell of a lot of things Adura suppressed, believe me.

I believe you. He would frequently hard delete things.

The more I hear about this Adura fellow, the more interesting this thread gets.

Anyone else have stories they's like to share?
