[anchor]201[/anchor]1. A little history on how this Forum came to be.

A lot of us hail from the SNSD threads on The L Chat (TLC). A couple of users (Taengo and Stepho) created this Forum originally as back up, but several users from TLC decided to eventually move here when they felt that the modding there became too overbearing. That being said, this Forum retained most of it's predecessor's culture, which might be a bit crude and troll-ish at times, and with so many new registered and users, Mods were promted to create this new section so they won't feel completely lost.


[anchor]202[/anchor]2. What exactly is SGSD?

In case the Forum name&banner weren't clear enough, it is a Forum created by and for Girls' Generation lesbian fans, meaning that if you're not capable of respecting that, close this tab and feel free to visit one of the many other sites dedicated to SNSD. Here are a couple suggestions:

S0sh!f!ed
0neH@llyu

Now, if you're a lesbian looking for fellow lesbian SONES to interact with, welcome! We hope you have fun here! To everyone else, if you want to hang around, keep in mind that this Forum may not be your cup of tea and some of the users here might not be entirely friendly or welcoming.

I made mention of our Forum culture above, this, if summarized into one word would be: blunt. Which means that if you can't handle frank opinions and discussions, sarcasm, the occasional insults and cuss words or even downright bitchiness, this is not the place for you. That being said, it does not mean that we're a bunch of insensitive, unfriendly lesbians; quite the contrary in fact. Most users here are fun and friendly although we do have our share of bad days and obnoxious members.

The main purpose of this Forum is of course to discuss and spazz over (almost) anything Soshi. From the group as a whole, to the individual members, to their music, and yeah, their love interests (who we like to think, are each other).


[anchor]203[/anchor]3. But, who & what is SNSD?

Allow us enlighten your poor lost soul:

SNSD is a South Korean girl group consisting of nine members: Kim Taeyeon, Jessica Jung, Lee Soonkyu (Sunny), Stephanie Hwang (Tiffany), Kim Hyoyeon, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, Im Yoona and Seo Joo Hyun (Seohyun). Also known as SoShi or Girls' Generation, they're considered South Korea's most popular girl group.


Kim Doucheyeon, otherwise known as Taeyeon is the squishable 15-year-old-faced leader that is actually 24 (or 25?). With a voice that betrays her midegety looks, she is born to be a badass, because Honeybadger dun curr. One of our prime ghei suspects.

Known as Laysica Jung, Sooyeon or just Jessica when she graces out mortal world with her warm yet icy personality. She spends half of her existence wishing she was asleep and is involved in an ongoing affair with Aircon, Cellphone and Croissant. Also 24 years old...or 25?!

The ninja leader of the group, should-have-been-a-soldier-but-is-only-155cm-tall, Lee Soonkyu. Mortal enemy of chickens, but friend to donkeys and adoptive mother of a cow...all that is known about her is that she's a HBIC despite her size. Rumor has it that she owns a whole closet filled with caps, awesome fabulous sneakers and heel lifts...Same age as Doucheyeon and Lazyca.

Love her or hate her, it's all about this bish right here. No really, one way or another, Tiffany Hwang is almost always at the center of our discussions. Going from lovely eye-smiling Miyoung to scary as fuck Stepho in .5 seconds, you will fall prey to her charms...or her birthing hips. She is the real manager if the group.

Better watch out for the Master Troll and our #1 dancer because she ain't afraid to hit bishes when they get out of line...or when she is drunk. She loves music to its core and is frequently seen partying and spinning turntables. She got that platinum hair a la Brity Spear style now and it's totally flaw-free.

Think you have a chance with our Unicorn? THINK AGAIN! Unless you have money and are 12051989 years older than her and can call yourself her unnie, you don't stand a chance. There are so many rumors surrounding that donk of a Yulbutt, she also got some thighs that will suffocate you - it's the best way to go, tbh.

Hide yo' wives, hide yo' kids and hide yo' snacks 'cause SooPerfect will steal them all in a microsecond. Queen of hairporn and witty comebacks, she's just flawless as she is sarcastic and she will vagblock you without hesitation or remorse. The tallest of the bunch, she likes to use the danshins as her personal armrest if need be.

It's all about dem fingers and dat tongue with this Choding, our resident certified lesbian orgasm machine. She's tall, dorky and can turn on her charm with her amajjing acting abilities and have you out of your panties in 5,4,3,2,1. Called alligator and deer by some, she's basically the queen of the animal kingdom.

Sweet innocent Maknae is all grown up! Seolady's making us all feel guilty about lusting over all dem curves, you can't deny it. She's the best harmonizer ever and is freakishly obsessed with cell regeneration. This young and sexy woman will be the next president of South Korea. Now go to hell for even thinking of our Seobaby -that- way.

Is that a boy? A girl? A non-binary identified individual? Nah, it's just the girls' manager Shosho! She dresses like a 12 year old boy and can be seen photobombing every-fan-pic-ever. This lucky bish is around the Girls 24/7, a dream come fucking true.

[anchor]204[/anchor]4. Sorting this place out:


  • 4b. Threads & Topics:
    We have several threads and topics to make navigating the Forum easy as pie:


    1. SNSD (Girls' Generation) - The main thread and purpose of the Forum. As stated above, this is the place for discussing or spazzing about anything related to the girls. We do make a few exceptions though, which will be clarified ahead.

    2. Korean Pop Culture Thread - Have another Korean group/idol/actor/song other than Soshi you want to talk about? This is where you want to go.

    3. Fanfiction Thread - For the fanfic lovers of the Forum; created for, but not limited to SNSD fanfiction, as well as to keep the threads above a bit more orderly.

    4. Chat Thread - Reserved exclusively for OT talk. Things can get quite fun or serious in here depending on the subject of discussion.

    5. SGSD Feed - Made for people who can't or simply do not want to pagecatch. It's really easy to navigate as it includes subjects and a link to the pages of the events mentioned. Updated pretty much daily by our Editors.

    6. LGBTQ -

    7. Asian Entertainment -

    8. Western Entertainment -

    9. Complaints Thread - As the title suggests, this is were you go if you have something to complain about, be it a troll post, if you think someone is shit-stirring, etc, although we also encourage users to use the Report Form as well.

    10. Forum Discussions Thread - Have a suggestion? Feel like the Mods could do with a little spanking? (oh, you :shifty: ). Think our guidelines could use a little tweaking? This is where you need to go. Always open to discussions for the improvement of the Forum.

    11. Important News & Announcements - This is where the Admins will let the users know of any changes and tweaks to the Forums. A mod will usually leave a notice in the other threads to alert the users of any change

    12. SGSD Archive - Once each thread reaches 2000 pages, it'll be temporarily closed and moved to our Archive SubForum. Once we're sure a new thread is created, we'll reopen the old one to allow users access to past posts.

    13. Forum Moderators - You can click on this link located at the bottom of the page on the main index to see if there are any Admins or Mods online.


  • 4b. Forum Themes:

    Not everyone enjoys having a huge banner announcing something they might not be ready to reveal to others yet, while some others enjoy a less cluttered version, so there are a few variations to the Theme of the Forum:


    1. Clean Mofo (New Theme) - There is a slight color scheme change as well as making quoted images & videos smaller.
    2. Clean Mofo Safe (no banner) - Same as above sans the Forum Banner.
    3. Welcome Mofos (Original Theme) - Default Forum Theme. The images and videos here are quoted in their real size.
    4. Welcome Mofos Safe (no banner) - Same as above sans the Forum Banner.

    You can change the Theme to the version that best suits you by clicking on the Choose a theme option located on the left bottom of the page as shown in the image below:

    Posted Image


[anchor]205[/anchor]5. User Groups:

If the users of the Forum were to be divided into categories, it would be as follows:


  • Administrators
  • Moderators
  • Editors
  • Trollbusters
  • Registereds
  • Anonymous



    • 5a. Who are the Administrators and Moderators of the Forum?


      • There are currently two active Administrators:

      • One Technical Administrator:


      • One Global Moderator:


      • Two Editors:



        • 5b. What are Editors?
          They are in charge of regularly updating the SGSD Feed for users who find it burdensome to pagecatch the SNSD Thread.


      • As well as three Trollbusters:



        • 5c. What are Trollbusters?

          Due to the increase of troll attacks, the users of the forum suggested a group of users that would be able to clean the Forum of spam without having modding abilites.

          This group of people will intervene only when a Mod is not online by hiding spam posts made by obvious trolls which include: porn, gore & isabella pics/vids as well as advertising. They do not have the ability to see other users' IP Addresses, they cannot issue bannings and they should not intervene or be contacted for Moderating purposes.


        • 5d. What is the difference between Anonymous users and Registered users?

          The only real difference, other than allowing others to identify your comments, is the ability to edit your posts as well as picking up from the last page you visited on a thread as long as you are logged in...and that's pretty much it. There is however a difference between Anonymous users and Hidden users:


          • Anonymous: An anon is a user who is unregistered.
          • Hidden: A registered user who chose to hide their name from the online user list.

Zetaboard's Terms of Use



3.1 Prohibited Content:

A forum may not contain posts, uploads, links to, or send via email any Content that contains, promotes, gives instruction about, or provides prohibited Content. Prohibited Content includes any Content that breaks any local, state, county, national or international law. Prohibited Content also includes:



  1. Content that infringes upon any rights (including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks).
  2. Abusive, threatening, defamatory, racist, or obscene Content.
  3. Viruses or any other harmful computer software.
  4. False information or libel.
  5. Spam, chain letters, or pyramid schemes.
  6. Gambling or Illicit drugs.
  7. Terrorism.

  9. Warez, Roms, CD-Keys, Cracks, Passwords, or Serial Numbers.
  10. Pornography, nudity, or sexual material of any kind.
  11. Excessive profanity.
  12. Content that is invasive of privacy or impersonation of any person/entity
  13. Hacking materials or information.


12 Prohibited Behavior:

  1. You may not send spam messages promoting your forum.
  2. Excessive hotlinking by sites not located on an ZetaBoards server of images hosted by ZetaBoards is prohibited.
  3. Your forum may not hotlink images from other websites without proper permission.



This is a fan forum. We mock them but we love them, so don’t take things too seriously, unless it’s blatantly offensive actions.

[anchor]301[/anchor]1. OT:

OT is unavoidable, and there is a separate thread created specifically for it, so when you see that a conversation is getting too off-topic, take it there.


  • What do we mean by this?
    If you see a conversation that is not directly related to the girls and at least two replies have been posted, consider that as OT and take your conversation to the Chat Thread.


[anchor]302[/anchor]2. Shipping:

Shipping is serious business. And it definitely belongs here. Deep down we all ship them with each other, hot unnies, inanimate objects or ourselves. Go ahead and enjoy your fantasy, just make sure you let others enjoy theirs. If a specific ship seriously bothers you, we invite you to scroll down and ignore it, also feel free to post whatever you want in between!

Mods will interfere when necessary and when they witness a shipping war taking place, they have every right to make it stop, so you better make sure to respect their call and stop when they ask you to do so. Remember, disagreeing with an opinion does not mean starting wank; but being rude and offensive is another thing.

[anchor]303[/anchor]3. Spoilers & IMG Tags:


  • Spoilers make sense only when people quote and label them properly. To avoid walls of spoilers, please edit your post so that it only contains the comment to which you are replying.

  • Try to be polite to other people here. If you have a big image you want to post, either resize it or put it under a spoiler. We now have a Theme that shrinks images automatically when quoted, but all the same, remember to remove the img tags when quoting one or several posts with images in them. We all love the girls, but seeing the same pic over and over again can get tiring.


[anchor]304[/anchor]4. Language:

This forum needs to be in English so Zetaboards can make money from advertisements and see that we aren't engaging in terrorism. A bit of non-English here and there is fine as long as you keep it useful. Just don't start personal and off-topic conversations in it.


[anchor]305[/anchor]5. Discussions:

Good news: People are free to express their opinions here.
Bad news: People are free to express their opinions here.

This includes opinions you don't like, opinions that do not make any sense and the ones that are plain offensive and rude. Remember the mods can and will interfere whenever they witness any kind of wank.

[anchor]306[/anchor]6. Banning:

We encourage the members of the forum to feel free to report and use the complaints thread; but the three complain rule = ban is out with one exception (see #7). We will still revise all the conversations but it is up to us to decide which option we should take: warning, deleting a post, ban temporarily or ban permanently. Do not panic though; banning is definitely our last resort, unless necessary or obvious trolls show up.

The mods are here to help; we will be very neutral in every decision we make. We really want this place to prosper with the help of you all, because in the end, what’s a forum without members?

Remember that there are more fun ways to spend your time than having pointless arguments with them.

[anchor]307[/anchor]7. Privacy:

It has come to our attention that there has been an increase of people here who like to stalk the girls' friends SNS (social networking service) accounts, mainly facebook, twitter and instagram. Not only is this an invasion of their privacy and creepy, it may also cause the Forum to be taken down as stated by Zetaboards' section of Prohibited Content: 3.1 - I.

For those reasons, we've decided that the following content shall not be allowed:


  • Announcing of SNSD's family and/or friends SNS accounts.
  • Inquiring of SNSD's family and/or friends SNS accounts.
  • Any content of said accounts irrelevant to SNSD.

Any user who breaks this rules will be given up to three warnings before a ban is issued.

Please also keep in mind that all talk about these people needs to be take to the Chat Thread as it's not relevant to the SNSD thread.

[anchor]400[/anchor]FAQ

[anchor]401[/anchor]1. What is...

  • What is a troll? - "It is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." [1]


  • What is a shit stirrer? - Pretty much the same as a troll only they cause trouble in a more subtle way.


  • What is the difference between the two? - While a troll might try causing trouble by posting obvious images/comments forbidden to the Forum, a shit stirrer would do so by posting what would seem like they are not actually trying to cause any trouble. These are a bit harder to spot.

  • What is an Isabella? - A poor lost soul who doesn't know that this is a Forum for lesbians.


    • 1b. What to do in case one troll/shit-stirrer/Isabella hits?

      Simple: report it.

      The temptation to reply to one of these posts is too great sometimes, epecially if it's a dumb comment, but to avoid pages of unecessary discussion or plain wanks, we encourage to simply leave the case alone or report it on the Complaints thread or using a report ticket and wait for a mod to delete the comments.



[anchor]402[/anchor]2. How to...

  • 2a. Post an image? - [img ] imgurlhere [/img ]
  • 2b. Post a video? - [flash ] videourlhere [/flash] > select flash movie height & width in px.
  • 2c. Post an url? - [url = urlhere] Title of Webpage [/url ]
  • 2d. Add spoilers? - [ spoiler = Add Subject Here ] Content [/spoiler ]

    This is how you do it manually, simply remove the spaces from the brackets & = symbols, but there are faster & easier ways to use these if you click on the 'Full Reply Screen' option at the bottom of the page. There's also a Full BB Code List as shown in the image down below:

    Posted Image
    [ [go2=400]back to top[/go2] ]

    • 2f. Resize and Image & Video - Simply add the number of pixels like this: [ img=250,250 ] imgurl [/img ]
    • 2f. Make a report: - There is a report button at the bottom of every comment as shown below:

      Posted Image
      After you click on it, fill the form and it'll be added to a queue for a Mod to check.



[anchor]403[/anchor]3. What does OP, DA & SA mean?

  • OP - Short for Original Poster.
  • DA - Short for Different Anon.
  • SA - Short for Same Anon.
.....You'll see anons use these abbreviations to differentiate between several posters during a conversation.


[anchor]404[/anchor]4. Why edit out the names of male names & bands?

It's an old rule we brought back from TLC. Since we back then we had several threads exclusive to SNSD, we didn't want people from other Kpop fandoms (especially crazy oppar fangirls) to find us by searching their names online, hence the editing of their names. We strongly encourage all users here to edit the names of all males when posting a comment.


[anchor]405[/anchor]5. Does the same apply to female names & bands?

Once again, we strongly recommend you edit them as well for the same reason above. Even though we have our own Korean Pop Culture Thread here, this is still a site 95% dedicated to SNSD.


[anchor]406[/anchor]6. What to do in case someone forgot to edit out a name that is not SNSD's?

Mistakes happen all the time. In case this happens, simply leave a notice at the thread the comment was posted in, use the Complaints Thread, the Contact Staff Form or use the Report Form.


[anchor]407[/anchor]7. Straight Talk & ManSoshi:

  • 7b. Is Straight Talk Allowed?:

    This subject is becoming more of a problem lately.

    We are by no means man haters or deluded enough to think that all the girls (if any) are lesbians; but this is still a Forum catered towards queer women so discussing the girls' [romantic] relationships with men is considered taboo here. As such, we've considered talking about such said relationships only when there is something to back up any rumours of said subject. For example:


    • Baseless rumour: A perfect example would be the Kh00nFany ship. This rumoured ship was started by international fans and them passing pics of them wearing the same clothing or accessories as evidence.

      There are other examples like X!a/Taeyeon or Mosquito/Taeyeon with plenty of "evidence", but this have been there since the dawn of Soshi and since they happened so long ago, it also has been discussed to exhaustion and it is tiring bringing it up all over again whether you believe that they dated or not, and considering the reputation of these guys in the forum, it's no surprise that talk about these ships will quickly be called out and shut down.

    • "Legitimate" rumor: The Ta3cSica on the other hand, began with a fan taking a pic of them hanging out in Japan (which might or might not have been a date), gained the interest of fans since it was an unstaged pic and the rumour itself gained more "credibility" when a Korean tabloid wrote an article about them.

      Then there are rumours released by Korean tabloids claiming that X person is dating a Soshi member, Sooyoung and her swimming rumour for example which has recently resurfaced. However, no proof was ever given and the company quickly (although predictably) denied the rumours.

      Another one would be Hyo's rumour of her dating that male Chinese socialite. This falls right in between the "legitimate" and baseless categories considering the rumour started from the cat's mouth so to speak. It was spread after fans began to gather "proof" from the his IG account (although he later denied it), a friend of him also claiming that it was Hyo whom he was dating as well as couple of videos of them hanging out in Hong Kong and was further fueled when SM never released a statement denying the rumor.

    So in layman's terms: Straight ship talking is allowed as long as there is proof supporting said ship (but don't be surprised that it won't be supported here). Kpop logic is not proof.

    To avoid any problems, visit one of the many other sites where you can talk freely about straight shipping.

  • 7c. What is ManSoshi?
    Fanart (usually terribly done) depicting the girls as men. This is without a question not something that will be welcomed here.


    • Why is it not allowed?
      If it's not obvious enough, we love SNSD because they are girls. We don't like heteronormative fantasies (visual, written or otherwise) being posted here when there are dozens of other places where you can indulge in that stuff if you're into it.
