Smash Flash DOJO!!!

Smash Flash DOJO!!!, also referred as SSF2 DOJO!!! or simply DOJO, was the "official" website of Super Smash Flash 2 used to post information of the game five times a week about characters, stages, items, news, etc. It was based on the Smash Bros. DOJO!!! of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Since March 3rd, 2016, it has been merged with the McLeodGaming website.

List of iterations
The Smash Flash DOJO!!! has had many iterations throughout SSF2's development cycle, all serving the same purpose nonetheless. Most of them were closed down due to technical problems, changes with the staff, they were remotely abandoned, became outdated or simply because their domains were moved somewhere else. Below is compilation of the seven DOJO!!! iterations that have existed:


 * First DOJO!!: The first DOJO!!! was simply a forum pasted with attachments of character profiles and more. It was called Smash Flash Central. Eventually, it was closed down due to a generally disrespectful community.
 * Second DOJO!!!!: The second DOJO!!! had a resemblance to the actual Smash Bros. DOJO!!!. It was created by developer (now former) Naruto [NU], but was recreated by stoat.tamer used to solve the member disrespect problem. It was temporarily put on hold for a remodeling, and due to a completely rewritten code, marked a new DOJO!!!.
 * Third DOJO!!!: The third DOJO!!!, a fan made one, was created by Tid (before he became a developer, now former), under the name Flash2dojo. The head of the DOJO!!! was also Tid, with help from user Xviyz alongside many others. Despite its fan made status, it received some feedback from a few developers at the time. It was closed down on May 16, 2010.
 * Fourth DOJO!!!: The third official DOJO!!!, and fourth one in total was released in June 12, 2009 and it was coded in Flash by developer (now former) Neron of the McLeodGaming Forums, it had a new and better design. It completely replaced the second DOJO!!. It was attempted to make multiple languages for this DOJO!!! but only Brazilian Portuguese was done, and it was never completed. On June 16, 2010, the site was updated, by developer Sirtopeia with the help from another developer (now former) RoyMaster4, but it was released on June 16, 2010. It was coded in php/html/css format, rather than being coded in Flash. It was closed down sometime between July 8th and July 20th, 2013.
 * Fifth DOJO!!!: The fifth DOJO!!! was started on August 4, 2013 but released to public on August 6, 2013. It also was under charge by Sirtopeia but it was now directed by another developer Dr. Geno and with assistance of some writers (called DOJO!!! writers). The site presented a new and unique design, with motifs that changed color whenever a page is inspected. On March 3, 2016, it was merged with the McLeodGaming website, and has not had updates after that. The DOJO!!! website version coexisted with the McLeodGaming website version for some time, until, eventually, the former was deleted.
