SCP-5451-2B. Hazardous effects removed
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5451-2A instances are to be disposed of. No animals of the family Spheniscidae are allowed to make contact with the advertisements. All SCP-5451-2B instances are to be blocked by Foundation Web Crawler Πουλί . All materials released by SCP-5451 is to be disseminated as Foundation Cover R621 ("Online Roleplay"). In addition, a Foundation web crawler is to track the posts and conversations of SCP-5451-1 instances to detect any anomalous activity.
Description: SCP-5451 is a virtual school primarily attended by animals in the family Spheniscidae, more commonly known as penguins. Hosted on the site penguinschool.aq, students interact with teachers through voice chat along with assignments sent through messaging programs.
SCP-5451-1 are a group of sentient, English-speaking penguins that accesses the Internet through anomalous means. Communication with other SCP-5451-1 instances are done through a forum on the site forum.penguinschool.aq. Unregistered subjects are greeted with the following message:
Sorry, you must be a student of the school to participate in the forums.
Non-anomalous penguins turn into SCP-5451-1 instances when they come into contact with advertisements made by previous SCP-5451-1 instances. These memetically enhanced advertisements (henceforth referred to as SCP-5451-2) come in two forms, banner ads or flyers, SCP-5451-2A and SCP-5451-2B respectively.
SCP-5451-2A instances are flyers composed of feathers that are covered in urea. They are found in penguin mating spots after mating season. Penguins that come into contact with SCP-5451-2A turn into an SCP-5451-1 instance. After one academic year, they are enrolled in SCP-5451.
SCP-5451-2B instances are banner ads found on the Internet. They take the format of a penguin on the foreground along with the text "(common name of a penguin) Penguin School, the best University in the country!", or some variation of the text. Subjects that come into contact with an SCP-5451-2B instance will experience a number of effects, including but not limited to the following:
- Contribution to penguin conservation efforts using the forums.
- Purchase or use of penguin-related objects
- Note (2022/01/25): See Addendum 1.1 for additional effects
- Note (2022/02/01): See Addendum 1.2 for additional effects

Hello guys, Forster here.
Due to the lack of students enrolling in our school, the budget for our forum will be cut back. Since I don't really want our fellow students to lose their community, I am currently open for suggestions on how we can raise more money for both this community and our school.

Me and the marketing peeps plan to create even better ads to convince even more students to join us. We do need some volunteers tho, we currently lack manpower
