Jonny's Place is undoubtedly the best website ever created. It's origins are filled with awe and mystery stretching back to 1996. Carrot Top, with his hit show Carrot Top's AM Mayhem coming to a close, was offered a new deal by Cartoon Network: his own comedy website on this crazy new thing called "The Internet". It was to be called "Carrot Top's Place", but Carrot Top turned it down. The project was shelved until October of 2002 when Jonny Axehandle assisted Yogi Bear in the fight against an army of Greed Monsters from space. This epic battle was won and Jonny, who bravely fought with a single axe, was given Carrot Top's Place as a reward. He re-named it "Jonny's Place" and gave it a Sonic theme.
Sometime in 2003, FlashTHD found a link to the board and advertised it on a number of places, such as Sonic Classic. This caused a large increase in members. Unfortunately, Dani (then Sonic Chaotix) was among them and started to wreak havoc immediately. When she was banned, she re-joined and impersonated ThunderPX, who later joined as well and exposed him. Some time later, Flash did not have enough time to continue working on the site, so he gave his admin status to Thunder. Then, Jonny's Place was going to fuse with ComiChaos, granting Flash new admin status. However, this merger was doomed to fail due to staff conflicts. Jonny moved the board to an Invision Power Board hosted on SmooveNET, and also gave it a .com domain and added a website. The site grew immensely until Jonny got fed up with SmooveNET's insanely bad customer service in late 2005 and moved to Hostgator. Sadly, the original post database was lost, and the board became a bit less active for a while, although it is now getting back on it's feet. Currently, the site is going for a major revamp- instead of being a general Sonic site, it will be a wiki featuring strategy guides.
