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, in 2000, 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.

Andy's hatred of PACHUKA began in 2002 when Andy shut down Saxman's site, due to arguments between the two. Saxman asked to have his work removed from the SSRG, and Andy refused, removing his entire site. Around this time Saxman and PACHUKA had recently made up, so the news of this angred PACHUKA, who posted news about it on the front page of this website. This infuriated Andy, who proceeded to say many harsh things in an IM conversation to PACHUKA [1]. PACHUKA began to publicly retaliate against Andy, in hopes of helping Saxman get his site back, resulting in a major flamewar, and ending with PACHUKA getting banned from the popular forum at the time, Area 51.

Saxman never got his site back from Andy, so PACHUKA offered to host it. He purchased the domain and hosted it on the server Emucult was hosted on. Saxman tried to reason with Andy on the SSRG's forums, however all of his posts were deleted. Later that year, GerbilSoft and Ultima were banned from the SSRG, because both expressed intrest in joining Saxman's new hacking community, SHaCNet. Eventually, Andy claimed that SSRG is dead, and began posting Anti-PACHUKA and anti-Saxman articles on his site. Saxman attempted to make a truce with Andy, who demanded that Saxman take down the history page on his site. Saxman did not wish to do this, but offered to edit out any negative comments towards Andy or the SSRG. Andy declined the offer and insited that the history page had to be removed completely. Exausted, Saxman gave up the truce:

Well it's official -- the truce is off. He's going to update his stupid little "Saxman" page to include the e-mails and probably a bunch more lies. I'm so SICK and TIRED of this. I just want it to end.... but I refuse to change my site in unfair ways just to end it. It he doesn't like my generous offer of modifying that Story page and all, that's his problem. He can whine all he wants. It'll end when people who support him realize that "hey, this guy won't let this thing die." It might take the longest time, but it'll happen sooner or later. Well, let's keep a watch for an exciting new update to the Saxman page shall we?! =D

Pachuka was later banned on the Sonic Secrets Center, but this proved to be a misunderstanding and the ban was lifted. [2]. When Andy found out about this he forced Digital Xeron, one of the administrators to re-ban him [3]
