Sonic CulT is a large information repository started by PACHUKA in February of 1999. It was inspired by Simon Wai and his discovery of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Beta. Ever since then it has become known as one of, if not the, largest information repositiries for Sonic the Hedgehog in the community.

Early Days

PACHUKA began creating Sonic CulT by gathering all sorts of information from numerous websites, many times not crediting people, a habit the website became well known for as time went on. PACHUKA realized that the only way he were to get his site noticed was to cause a ruckus on other websites.

Sonic CulT vs. SSRG

As Sonic CulT began to grow, Andy Wolan of the Sonic Stuff Research Group attempted to join the two together. This failed due to the SSRG's hosting on ZTNet, which also hosts sites such as Emulation Camp and Zophar's Domain, both of which had been hacked by PACHUKA in the past during the time EmuCult was open. The SSRG's host refused to host them, and PACHUKA was given access to the news script for the SSRG as a consoltation. A few weeks later, the news script was hacked by someone who then began to post offensive content. Andy blamed PACHUKA, as he believed the IP's matched, and publicly lashed out at him on the main page of the SSRG. This was later disproven due to the fact that PACHUKA and the hacker had both used AOL at the time, an Internet Service Provider who's clients do not have static IP Addresses. PACHUKA was proven innoncent, yet Andy did not apologize, instead claiming that Saxman wrote the news article and to ask him for an apology. Saxman refused to give PACHUKA and apology, which sparked a 2 year feud between Saxman and PACHUKA.

Crap

Was sold to Tigress until Sazpaimon is 18, the site was on hiatus due to lack of a stable hosting solutio

n. Forums are known for being no-bull**** and, at the time, were operating under "Uber Ghetto Chinese Democracy" rule.

A short time after, Tigress handed her responsibilities over to InsaneSonikkuFan, as she wished to leave the scene.

On August 18, 2004, PACHUKA abandoned the website to InsaneSonikkuFan and Sazpaimon. Later, the server it was on learned of the switchover and cut the Sonic CulT's space. As of now, the entire website is offline; there was a backup of their message board SCARZ, but it was currently off and the Sonic CulT's new administrators were asking for Paypal donations and money via ad banners.

On October 3, 2004, the site returned to a half-complete status; although the administrators were still asking for donations. A short time after, the site returned to full operational status.

In late 2004, PACHUKA returned and brought the site and forums back up completely, co-administrating the site with Saz.

This would be short lived as PACHUKA was soon arrested in December 2004 on charges of sexual abuse on a minor. At this point, PACHUKA was working on more revisions, and everything was down. The fact that he was arrested prevented bringing the site back up again.

As of February 2005, Saz brought the forums and website up completely again at the new domain, sonic-cult.net, originally owned by Tigress.

In November 2005, Saz began work on obtaining and restoring the sonic-cult.org domain after getting a hold of the old random-string administrative passwords used for both the aforementioned domain and anti-otaku.com.
