Sh33p's Fluff Message Board

The Sh33p's Fluff Message Board, also known as SFMB, is a gathering place for Daria fans.

History
The Sh33p's Fluff Message Board was created by Thea Zara, with the help of Gamer*, on 5th October 2003. Conceived of as an alternative message board for people who wanted a forum with a different ethos to that of the Paperpusher's Message Board, the name was created and agreed on in an SFMB2 chat between Thea Zara, Ben Yee, Gamer, Reese Kaine, Wyvern, Brandon League, srdarkwing, and Deref.

One, but not the only, driver was the ability to discuss adult topics. Another driver was to provide a home for what was a growing band of second-generation Daria fans who had come to the show via the Noggin Network, a heavily (and many felt ridiculously) censored re-broadcast. Some of the denizens of the Paperpusher's board were becoming increasingly annoyed by what they felt was juvenilia posted by the enthusiastic new young fans. Wanting to encourage them, Thea Zara gave them a place of their own - Tanandaria - on the Sh33p's Fluff, while protecting them from adult topics by making the adult forums accessible by invitation only.


 * According to Thea Zara it went like this:

Gamer: so uh you wanna message board while i'm moving us and everything? thea: uuuh i guess so
