'''Brawl Snapshots''' was a highly popular image-upload website intended for sharing of [[snapshot]]s taken in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Members could upload either pre-converted .jpg images or raw .bin files, with the additional option to perform automatic widescreen un-distortion. Members could also rate up images that others had uploaded in order to increase their ranking on various lists, with the top-rated images generally being humorous, lucky, or requiring extensive setup and precision.

While popular, the site was not without its problems. As any JPEG image could be uploaded, there was no enforcable restriction for image content, so images from other games or even other media could be uploaded. Less-scrupulous members could also upload duplicates of others' images or even the ones posted on the [[DOJO!!]], as well as potentially offensive or shocking images unrelated to ''Brawl''. As a result of these drawbacks, the website's forums also eventually became notorious for frequently featuring arguments, flame wars, and other controversies.

The infamous forums eventually became the epicentre of the end of the site. [http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=95947 An AllisBrawl blogpost]<sup>''[broken link]''</sup> claimed that the site lost its Google Ads revenue when forum posts caused the adbot to link to adult content. The site's owners were uninterested in continuing to pay the increasing hosting fees and let Brawl Snapshots go down. Its owners, however, provided no backup of any of the content on the site, nor did they deliver a warning about its eventual shutdown. As a result, all content on the site was lost, and even the [[wikipedia:Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]] is unable to retrieve much of the site's former contents.
 
No successor, direct or spiritual, has existed since the shutdown of the site. The IRC channel created for community purposes did however endure, despite the decreased number of regular users. The current chatroom is located on Nixtrix.net's <code>#bss</code> channel.
