Shambhala, the refuge of the damned, is an underground spinoff site of the Total War Center, founded by Osceola and The Sundance Kid in October 2008, as a response to both TWC's strict Terms of Service, which many members felt were castrating free speech on the site, and Anagennese, the more famous and high-profile spinoff site of TWC. The Sundance Kid had been a member of Anagennese and noted how it had maintained its elitist attitudes towards new applicants, and wanted to create a similar haven where anyone could join if they wanted. The site is currently ruled over by Emperor Mackymoto.

The city of Shambhala is, according to legend, built over the final resting place of the Ark of the Sundovant. The spot is known only to Sundance himself, a secret he guards closely.

Joining

Joining Shambhala could not be easier; the link is available by messaging Sundance or Osceola (though the latter is currently suspended). Once there, an account is freely creatable and all forums open to all members. So far in the 3 months the site has been open, only two members have been banned:

Trobalov - For being annoying, idiotic and a conspiracy theorist.

Saneel - For being perceived as a racist moron. Saneel was later let back in after he was determined to be awesome.

GH@Z!-Self own4g3...typed random letters into the password changer.

The Administrators retain all rights to ban people they believe are detrimental to the site as a whole, yet will review their decisions if a public outcry is made. This clause was added due to the disputed banning of Magic Man from the Anagennese forums in Summer 2008, as he was let in to the site after a member voted yes on him multiple times, giving him a majority that was later noticed and corrected.

Content

There are forums for all possible types of discussion on Shambhala, including a general chatroom, games discussions, the arts and many more. There are absolutely no swear filters, however, and more importantly, Tony83 has taken to posting pictures of his penis, so one must be warned that they join at the risk of their own tender innocence.

There have been six 'eras' of Shambhala so far:

  • Shambhala Original
  • Bagelhala - A Bagel Theme
  • Ye Olde Shambhala - A Medieval Theme
  • Sham Diego - An 'Anchorman' Theme
  • Shirebhala - A Lord of the Rings Theme
  • Kemetbhala - An Ancient Egyptian Theme
  • Naboohala - A short-lived attempt to vilify Episode I
  • Coruscanthala - A Star Wars Theme (and the current theme)
