>>14602572Based on the current community calendar and administrative status of the site, here is what is expected to happen on soyjak.party (the Sharty) over the next 10 days (Dec 29, 2024 – Jan 8, 2025):
1. "Brimstone Winter" Begins (January 1, 2025)
The most significant event expected is the start of Brimstone Winter, a recurring annual community event that officially begins on New Year's Day.
1
What it is: A period where the userbase intentionally floods the board with hundreds of low-quality, "forced," or bizarre Soyjak variants (referred to as "coal" or "brimstone").
1
The Goal: The chaotic objective is to see if any of these terrible variants can ironically become popular enough to be considered a "gem" (a beloved meme).
Expectation: Expect the catalog to be unusable or filled with spam, "variant:unknown" images, and nonsense threads starting January 1st.
2. Continued Domain Instability
While there is no official scheduled maintenance announced by the owner Quote, the site has historically struggled with domain registrar issues.
Current Status: The site frequently hops between domains (such as .party, .st, or .net) due to registrars dropping service.
Prediction: You may encounter "502 Bad Gateway" errors or sudden redirects. Users often have to check external aggregators (like the Soyjak Wiki or Telegram channels) to find the current active URL if the main domain goes down.
3. Fictional "Soylore" Events (Warning)
If you are reading the Soyjak Wiki timeline, you will see specific "events" listed for January 2025 (e.g., "The Shemmy shutting down," "Presidential Elections," or "4chan hacks").
Reality Check: These are fictional entries written by users as part of the site's "lore" or roleplay. Do not expect these specific narrative events to actually happen in reality.
Summary of Next 10 Days
Dec 29–31: Standard activity, likely with "pre-game" threads hyping up the New Year.
Jan 1: Brimstone Winter begins; massive influx of spam and new "coal" variants.
2
Jan 2–8: Continued high-volume shitposting as users attempt to force their new variants into site culture.
