==My Story==
(2012 - present)
I joined the wiki
[http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Mario_is_evil?diff=prev&oldid=34915 March 21st 2013] and onward. I start helping out the wiki by removing unnecessary categories from pages. LOLSKELETONS (I'll refer to him as "Skelly") noticed how I've been [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#Hello|"quite the contributer lately"]], and asked if I wanted to help out with the [[User blog:LOLSKELETONS/Category Reorganization Update|category reorganization effort]]. I agreed to help, and two days later I became a rollback.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
April 9th, 2013. Skelly just became a bureaucrat, and one of the first things he did [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#HAI U UPDAYT)|was make me an admin]]. I was pretty ecstatic about this, because I've always wanted to be admin ever since I started helping out. Though, I never did ask for it.
I continued to help out the wiki frequently, until May 10th, 2013. What
In early May, I thought it would be a GREAT idea to vandalize multiple wikis under a [[User:EVIL PATRIXXX|sock-puppet account]]. This got my sock account blocked on multiple wikis, and even my IP. On May 10th, 2013, I was doing my thing. Vandalizing shit on other wikis. In this case, on the [http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/King_K._Rool?diff=prev&oldid=31352 Donkey Kong Wiki]. After I got done with that, I noticed that my main account was blocked. Not just on that wiki, but ALL wikis.
Early May 2013 was an extremely tough time for me in terms of Wikia. My blog on the Fantendo Wiki on why Call of Duty "sucks" was getting 400+ comments, all going against me, (I would love to link it, but it's been since deleted) which really stressed me out. [http://have-fun.wikia.com/wiki/The_History_of_Have_Fun_Wiki And the Have Fun Wiki was getting overthrown by 343]. Yeah, I had all that shit going on, plus I get global blocked. And to be honest, I deserved it. All of it. Except maybe the shit that was going on the Have Fun Wiki. That was bullshit.
Despite being global blocked, I could sometimes edit. Yeah, Wikia had this weird bug where you would temporarily get unblocked (and when I mean "temporarily", I mean like 30 seconds.) It seemed to work at random. But sometimes I would get it to work just by staying on a user's page for about a minute. Upon this discovery, I abused the bug heavily. Unfortunately for me, the bug stopped working in late June 2013.
August 3rd, 2013.
At this point, I started caring about the Trollpasta Wiki again, and became obsessed with the chat. I was on the chat
August 26th, 2013. A user by the name "Oderyus" came to chat. He took note of all the shitty spam pages on the wiki, and decided to do something about it. He added the delete template to a shit ton of pages, and nearly every single one of them were deleted. The Trollpasta Wiki lost over 400 pages because of this. Sense he kept adding the template to a shit on of pages, his edit count grew.
While pretty much all the admins liked Oderyus, one of them didn't. Which was me. Many days, I would be in the chatroom all alone with Oderyus, and his attitude was just awful. An example being sometimes whenever anyone would say something, he'd reply back with "idc" (meaning "I don't care.") He was just a
[http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3AOderyus banned him for a month]. After he got unbanned, he
Also during all that shit with Oderyus, Haramonia went randomly inactive for 2 weeks in October 2013. No one really knows why he did. He
January 2014. Oderyus wouldn't stop bothering us to go to chat on the [http://wolfenism.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfenism_Wiki Wolfenism Wiki] throughout the month. The only thing he did in the chat was spam and throw immature insults at us. We tried talking sense to him, but he wouldn't listen. After a while, he decided to stop.
After all of that BS, everything went back to normal... Or did it? In the beginning of 2014, we all still chatted, and we all still had a good time. But after that, I don't recall that many "good times."
The beginning of 2015. Fatal Disease (one of the most respected admins on the site) [[Special:Log/Fatal Disease|demoted himself from adminship on January 17th]] (and so did Steam Pheionx). Sack of Nuts and Superplankofdeath were demoted the same month as well.
After all the admin demotion, a bunch of new users came in, creating a new community. However, every community
Some other minor drama bullshit happened as well. Particularly with some small incidents with ~Boggy B~, and some nonsense with raiders. Then... possibly the biggest drama outburst in TPW history (besides the Oderyus saga) happened.
April 2015. User by the name "ThatCelticFurry" was a chat moderator on the Trollpasta Wiki since January 2015. He did his job, and he did it well (at least from what I could tell). On May 9th, 2015, we were all fucking around in chat, acting like complete idiots but all having a good time. The My Little Pony emoticons were [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Emoticons?diff=191458&oldid=191454 recently removed], so I thought it would be funny if we [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Emoticons?diff=next&oldid=193044 brought them back] and spam the chat with them. However, one user didn't find this funny at all. Going by the name "Kerbin", he was a huge anti-brony (he was also a chat mod at the time), and him and many others would participate in brony circlejerks regularly in the chat. So, he was extremely offended by all the pony nonsense flooding the chat. But instead of doing the smart thing (AKA leaving the chat), he stays. Celtic (ThatCelticFurry) jokingly says we should add clop emotes. At this point, Kerbin starts losing his fucking mind while shouting in ALL CAPS, saying glorious things such as "YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FAGGOT IN THE UNIVERSE".
(Don't believe this all happened? Well, here's the [http://pastebin.com/c35pKTuX chatlog]. Have fun!)
All of this snow-balled into a huge fuck boy drama fest extravaganza. Celtic and Kerbin argued and bitched at each other for hours on end. And for what? Fucking My Little Pony emotes? Give me a fucking break. While I do think Celtic was being a bit annoying in the situation, Kerbin could have just simply left the chat. But that would be too smart of a thing to do, would it? Anyway... after hours of pointless bitching, we had enough of all of this, so we ban and demote Celtic
Wait
Stepping aside for a moment, this is all very similar to what happened in November 2014. I'll briefly explain what happened. So basically, Trigger Hurt and Animefan9999 were arguing over the rollback right for some reason, which lead to Trigger finding Animefan's social media accounts and making fun of his posts in the chat. How is this situation similar? Well, they both play out similarly. User 1 jokes about thing, which upsets
▲Wait! We punish Celtic, but not Kerbin? What kind of shit is this? The only thing Celtic did was act like a complete moron while poking fun at Kerbin. Kerbin on the other hand, got trigger'd by pony emotes and made a huge fucking deal out of it. I have no idea why he didn't get punished for it. Same with me. I also had a hand in the drama bullshit, so why didn't anything happen to me? I don't know. The whole situation was a complete mind-fuck.

But here's the thing; which situation would you get upset by? Someone spamming emotes in chat, or someone digging through your shit and humiliating yourself in the process? Yeah, I think you know the answer to that one.
(You can read the chat log to the Trigger and Animefan fiasco [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/THE_CHAT_OF_87 here].)
But
The next day, I invited Celtic to the Have Fun Wiki chat so we can discuss the situation civilly. We talked it out, and it went well. So we unban him from Trollpasta Wiki. However, we wouldn't give back his rights. He would have to work his way back up to get them again.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
(You can read the chat log to that [http://pastebin.com/fUstGLPv here].)
Celtic had a bad rep at this point, so he would get baited in chat often, which caused more unnecessary drama. Due to this, Celtic made various "[[User blog:ThatCelticFurry/Actually leaving|I'm]] [[User blog:ThatCelticFurry/Actually leaving II: Leave Harder|Leaving]]" [[User blog:ThatCelticFurry/Actually Leaving III|blogs]] announcing his departure from Trollpasta Wiki. However, he would always come back shortly after the announcements.
Ugh, so yeah. After all of that, Celtic changed accounts, became a chat mod again, but decided to quit later on due to his horrible rep. And Kerbin is no longer a mod due to inactivity. So that ends that saga.
All of that drama really took a lot out of me. Because of this, I started to avoid chat more often. I continued to do my things, such as editing, doing admin stuff, and occasionally visit chat. Then we got more people editing and helping out the site. Which in turn, got us more people on our staff. This was great, but in the back of my head, I questioned whether or not I should retire. Not because of jealously or anything like that, but because it made me feel like I was sort of unneeded. Kind of silly? Maybe. But that's just how I felt.
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
August 3rd, 2015. I retire the Trollpasta Wiki after being on it for almost 3 years. It was quite hard for me to just instantly leave like that, but if I didn't enjoy it anymore, what's the point in staying? Also, notice how I decided to retire on August 3rd. As stated in the 5th paragraph of this blog, August 3rd is the day I got unbanned from Wikia. That day is very special to me, so I thought it would be fitting to leave on the 2 year anniversary.
<big>TO BE CONTINUED...</big>
==Trivia==
Line 96 ⟶ 89:
*As stated in the 1st paragraph of this blog, we used to have an Article Listing (aka "The List"). If you don't know how it went, it basically went like this: "IF YOU DON'T UPDATE THE LIST WITHIN IN 20 MINUTES, YOU'LL GET BANNED FOR 1-DAY." It was an extremely stupid thing to have, so we got rid of it on October 8th, 2013.
*We used to have achievements (aka badges) enabled on the site. However, it was disabled on June 16th, 2013 due to some users [[Trollpasta_Wiki:Pointsgaming|pointsgaming]] for badges.
*The wiki had zero quality control from the day the wiki was created, to early 2013. It wasn't until late 2013 when we started taking action on unfunny spam pastas. Sexually explicit pastas were also allowed, until we started re-enforced Wikia's Terms of Use.
*The first favicon for this wiki used to be [[:File:Old tpw favicon.png|a recreation I made of the baby from Mario Paint, but colored white.]] (June 1st, 2013 - August 10th, 2015)
*Anonymous editing was once allowed here. However, on September 27th, 2013 the [[Thread:26146|first thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing was created. Anon editing did get disabled eventually, but it some how got re-enabled again sometime after (IIRC). So [[Thread:66710|another thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing was created October 4th, 2014. Unlike the previous thread, this one was heavily opposed, and thus anon editing didn't get disabled. It wasn't until on March 5th, 2015 when a [[Thread:86955|new thread]] petitioning to get rid of anon editing for the 3rd time finally got it disabled for good. What a long battle...
Line 102 ⟶ 96:
**Shrek is Love pastas (2013 - 2014). "Shrek is Love" (now deleted) was an incredibly popular trollpasta about Shrek partaking in sexaul acts with two little kids (there was also [[The Tale of Shrek]] which made before Shrek is Love). As fucked up as that sounds, it blew up. Many "X is Love" pastas were flooding the wiki. Not only were most of these pastas blatant rip-offs of the original Shrek is love pastas, they were also violating Wikia's [http://www.wikia.com/Terms_of_Use Terms of Use]. In 2014/2015, we decided to delete any shitty Shrek is love clone we see, and delete the original Shrek is love pastas due to their explicit sexual nature. The original (The Tale of Shrek) is still up, however.
**Gizoogle pastas (2013 - 2014). Sometime in late 2013, a hell spawn known as "Gizoogle pastas" were created. Essentially, a Gizoogle pasta is where you take an existing pasta, and "ghetto-fy" it through [http://www.gizoogle.net/ Gizoogle.net]. This was actually pretty amusing at first, but after the 9 millionth Gizoogle pasta, I got real tired of them. I even wanted them banned. However, SG still wanted these walking forms of cancer to take over the wiki. So they stayed. We even made a [[:Category:Ghetto Talk|category]] just for Gizoogle pastas. They eventually lost steam, and died out sometime in 2014.
**Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Hour (
**Sonic.exe (2013 - 2014). [[Sonic.exe]] is a shitty creepypasta that somehow took the internet by storm. It was originally uploaded to the Creepypasta Wiki, however, it was moved to this wiki a few years later because it sucks ass. This upset a lot of fanboys, and even the creator of the pasta. They tried to begging the admins to add it back to the Creepypasta Wiki, but surprise, that didn't work. Sonic.exe was becoming more
*The Trollpasta Wiki has been reported to Wikia many times. Mainly due to Terms of Use violations, which is why we had put a stop to sexually explicit pastas.
<big>Facts about other users on TPW</big>
*[[User:Dronian|Dronian]] (the creator of Trollpasta Wiki) is the only current admin/bureaucrat with under 1000 edits.
*NightmaresEvets was an asshole user that pretty much broke every rule in the book on this wiki, and Creepypasta Wiki. He did many things, such as: constantly harassing LOLSKELETONS, making shitty edits, pointsgaming, spamming, you name it. He got [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3ANightmaresEvets blocked infinitely on April 20th, 2013], [[Special:Contributions/NightmaresEvets|and eventually got his account globally blocked by Wikia.]]
*[[User:Fatal Disease|Fatal Disease]] originally [[Trollpasta Wiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Fatal Disease|applied for the bureaucrat right on October 5th, 2013]]. Despite getting a lot of support, it was closed after a day of being up. I told Fatal that it wasn't a good idea, so he backed down on the right.

**[[User:Superplankofdeath|Superplankofdeath]] (July 5, 2014 - January 22, 2015) (Reason: Inactivity.)
**[[User:Steam Phoenix|Steam Phoenix]] (August 20, 2014 - January 17, 2015) (Reason: Rage quit.)

**[[User:The Koromo|The Koromo]]'s original name was "Coffee Shop Corporate Raider".
**[[User:Haramonia|Haramonia]]'s original name was "KittenPasta". When he changed it to what it is now, I remember me and the other admins making fun of it a lot.
