Planet Freedom is the name of the fictional world in which the Sonic the Hedgehog anime movie takes place. The name was adopted by Thereisnospork303(Thereisnospoon303), RabbitSnore, Dopply, Misselaineous10, MrDrunkenFox, UncleChuckTH, and Terrorist, when they created a cost-free forum on freeforums.org during an outbreak of e-drama on YouChew Poop.

Most of the time, when a member of the forum refers to Planet Freedom, they are referring to the forum.

History

Asking how Planet Freedom was made is much the same as asking your parents where babies come from: you're looking for trouble.

Creation of the Planet Freedom Forum

After MrDrunkenFox lost his seat as moderator on the staff of the forum, during the administration of Conrad Slater, it might be said that the situation began to rapidly degenerate, and the forum-goers became increasingly discontented with the way the site was run. Two main incidents following Fox's firing from the mod staff are generally attributed to the conditions which led to the creation of Planet Freedom. These two incidents are The Modsahoy Incident and The Perfect Poop Drama Incident. Without the over-dramatic titles, these two incidents simply refer to the time when Pimpsahoy was made moderator as a joke and the event in which ShadowWario's vocal complaints spurred Conrad Slater to temporarily shut down the forum. Shortly after this, the usage of HTML code was suspended on the forum because of an incident of code abuse. Adding to this flames of drama, Mr. Slater also announced his intention to allow the YouChew Poop community portal's server lease to expire and not to renew it. It was around this time that a group chat on MSN was held between the forum-goers who would become the administrators of Planet Freedom.

During this discussion, it was proposed that a free forum be made, in order to escape the e-drama. Using freeforums.com, Thereisnospoon303 created Planet Freedom, the basic layout of which was used in the phpBB3 version of the YouChew Poop forum. The moderation staff was composed of Thereisnospoon303 (TINS), RabbitSnore, Dopply, Misselaineous10, MrDrunkenFox, UncleChuckTH, and Terrorist. All of them had administrative access to the forum, and all were entrusted with virtually equal rights to moderate and administrate. TINS was the unofficial leader of the group, and he was entrusted to deal with all communications between Planet Freedom and YouChew Poop. Many of the moderation policies of the current incarnation of YouChew Poop take their roots in decisions made on Planet Freedom, including the moderator voting system, in which each member of the staff has essentially equal say in decisions about forum policy.
