| '''The Glitch Society''' refers to multiple failed attempts by some kids to make and run a decent forum. It is generally considered an example of {{Abb:Link|fail}}.

| 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 {{Abb:Link|Watermeleon}}
| |
| * The Second Takeover by {{Abb:Link|Watermeleon}}
| |
| | |
| In a more recent example of the usurpation of power by a user on the Forums, [[Watermeleon]] has become infamous by taking over the Forum not once, but twice. His first Administration ultimately was unsuccessful, as he was promptly banned for doing...too good a job. However, Watermeleon cleverly tricked Marry into giving him Administrational powers, which Watermeleon took advantage of and promptly deleted everything on the site. Marry returned to Watermeleon's TGS, pretending to be [[Maday94]], and was continuously sucking up to Watermeleon in hopes of getting Administrational powers. Yet, Watermeleon saw through the thinly veiled disguise, and Marry was booted from his former site. And in the end, Watermeleon got the last laugh.

| | |
| Only one day after taking the site, our Don Watermeleon decided he wished to help rebuild The Glitch Society, so he added many glitch sections, changed the name to "A Glitch Society", and urged many users to post glitches. This still failed to ward off many jealous flaming guests, such as Mwak's infamous attempt to spam up AGS, but overall, AGS has earned quite a few regular glitch posters, such as Bulba, Abwayax, Cheddar, and even the Don himself.

| ==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==
| |
| {{Forum|Name=Requiem Glitches|URL=http://createforum.com/requiemglitches|AltNames=The Glitch Society 3|Lifespan=2007-|Software=phpBB|Staff=[[Marry]]<br />[[Mwak]]|Staff2= |Inspired=The Glitch Society|Inspired2= }}
| |
| | |
| 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|Mwak]] and [[Marry|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.\
| |
| | |
| However, on May 8th of 2007, Don Watermeleon took to a negotiation venture and requested Administration of Requiem Glitches. Marry, the current owner of Requiem Glitches, was not unhappy with Watermeleon taking over the Forum, but still, he wanted to go over the deal with Mwak. The odds of Watermeleon receiving the Forum are very high, as both parties would like to avoid any violent encounters, and usurping the Forum would give Watermeleon 2/3rds of all of TGS' many branches.
