The Sonic 2 Beta Page
From Sonic Retro
Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta, often abbreviated as SWS2B, is a website dedicated to the Sonic 2 Beta ROM found by Simon Wai. Originally hosted on Emulation Zone and left for two years to the care of Pelord, SWS2B eventually moved to private hosting while the Sonic 2 Beta message board became Sonic Classic. Today, it stands as the most in-depth site covering Sonic 2 Beta, and its forums are considered among the best within the Sonic hacking scene.
Forums
The SWS2B forums are considered by many to be the main area for modern Sonic hacking. Protected by a required entrance exam and the Pending Approval system, the amount of "misfits" is kept to a minimum. In addition to the hacking and research held in the main forums, there is an active social side to SWS2B, with notable memes such as the Gallery of Dumbasses and the SWS2B IRC channel (run indepentenly of the site.)
