The original forum that started it all, TGS fell apart quickly when everyone "turned into Nazi's about spam and anything else considered fun". Everything was going somewhat well for a while, until Ragnarok flipped out, banning and deleting Abwayax and Izwzyzx, holding the forum as ransom. Somehow Shinatoa got drafted into helping get the site back, and it was decided by the admins that Ragnarok had to go. As usual with TGS rulings, the decision was overturned in about three days.
Then the administration decided to remove the most active board on the forums, the Spam Can, causing everyone to freak out and complain. (This was, of course, decided after a poll where the users almost unanimously voted to keep the Spam Can.) Then the Warnings Thread came to life, causing people to get upset over the warnings issued for things that had not been a problem in the past.
One of the other major flaws was that the Administration was much too large, due to administrators who happily gave just about anyone full power over the boards. This caused usurpation on multiple occasions such as:
- The Usurpation by Abwayax, Izwzyzx, and Ragnarok
- The Usurpation by Ragnarok
- The Anti-Fun Regime of Bulbafreak9000
- The Totalitarian Regime of Watermeleon
- The Second Takeover by Watermeleon
The Glitch Society 2
Version 2 of The Glitch Society was established on InvisionFree when the web host of the original TGS went down temporarily. It never had as much activity as the original and became unused once the original forum returned. It was later wiped out and shut down by Izwzyzx, and now serves as a memorial to the ruined "society".

Requiem Glitches was an attempt to revive the TGS community to what it once was by starting all over again with a new board. Mwak and Marry came up with a new plan to take away the "bad" name of "The Glitch Society" by making an almost exact duplicate of the original forum with a different name. It has not been successful.
