On July 21st, 2011, [[User:Dronian|Dronain]] founded Trollpasta Wiki. Creepypasta Wiki only allowed [http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Troll_Pasta a handful of trollpastas on their site], so Trollpasta Wiki was created in order to be a site only dedicated to trollpastas. Trollasta Wiki's content ranged from being ALL CAPS poorly written stories about the most random things, to making fun of certain creepypastas and creepypasta cliches, and eventually hosting [[:Category:Deletion Log Refugees|deleted]] [[:Category:Bad Creepypasta Trying to Be Serious but Fails|failpastas]] from Creepypasta Wiki. Dronian was the only one running the site at the time, that is up until June 20th, 2012 when he made [[User:Furbearingbrick|Furbearingbrick]] (Fur) an admin. 4 months later, [[User:LOLSKELETONS|LOLSKELETONS]] (Skelly) joined the wiki, and started helping out. Fur took notice of Skelly, and suggested that he should apply for adminship. So he did just that, and [[User talk:Dronian#Admin_2|asked Dronian if he could be an admin]]. Dronain agreed, and made Skelly an admin on November 13th, 2012. Together, Fur and Skelly helped the site out with category organization, adding deleted pastas from Creepypasta Wiki, and blocked people who didn't update [[Project:List|The List]] [[User blog:LOLSKELETONS/ATTENTION ALL|within 24 hours]]. However, problems started accruing in January 2013 with troublesome anonymous users.
 
An anon [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Duplicate images|started harassing Fur]] [[User talk:Furbearingbrick/Talk Archive 1#Blocked, (Not Raging)|on her talk page]], making threats, and ranting about how "corrupt" she and the other Creepypasta Wiki staff were. Fur went to Dronian about this, and proposed that anonymous editing should be disabled. Skelly and a user by the name "[[User:TheShadyNerd|TheShadyNerd]]" supported this proposal. A few days later, [[User talk:Dronian#HELP|Fur went to Dronian once again, but this time in a crisis]]. She suggested that anonymous editing should once again be disabled due to the anon vandalizing pages and switching IPs, and also suggested that TheShadyNerd should be an admin to help combat these problems. While anonymous editing didn't get disabled, the issues with the troublesome anon eventually got resolved.

Ever since 2014, I've wondered what it would be like to retire from being an admin. An odd thought, considering I've only been an admin for a year at that point. But it was something I thought about. On May 9th, 2016 I pulled a prank that I was retiring. I changed my avatar, cleared my [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:GodzillaFan1?oldid=193111 talk page] and [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/User:GodzillaFan1?diff=193108&oldid=192609 my profile]. [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/User:SOMEGUY123/Talk_Archive_4#GodZillaFan1_has_retired..C2.A0 Some people] fell for it, but I revealed it was all a prank a few minutes later. At this point, I seriously considered retiring. It's not like I was super needed as an admin anymore anyway, because the site at this point had a lot of people helping out, and had more admins than usual.
 
As the months went on, the more I got bored of the site. I was also starting to not like the chat, because it was more shitpost-y than usual, and it felt like people tried too hard to imitate SG. In late July, I decided it would be best to just retire my admin rights, and to stop going on the chat. I chose August 3rd as the date, because that was the two year anniversary of when I got globally unblocked from Wikia. On August 2nd, I changed my icon, and posted a cryptic image to the Trollpasta chat. Inverting the image shows hidden text: "August 3rd." The next day later, I threw in the towel. However...
 
On March 29th, 2015, I created [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/The_History_of_Trollpasta_Wiki?oldid=5209 The History of Trolpasta Wiki]. But instead of it being here, it was on a different wiki. It looked very simple compared to how it looks now, and it was more focused on my history with the wiki rather than the wiki as a whole. On August 2nd, I decided to [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:GodzillaFan1/The_History_of_Trollpasta_Wiki?direction=prev&oldid=215200 move it here]. Despite retiring the following day, I still wanted to update the blog, and so I did. I began to seriously revamp it and add a ton of new info as the days went by. Going through all the history of the wiki made me miss being an admin, so I asked SG when I should come back. I asked that, because this was only about a week or two after I "retired". I didn't want to come back too soon. So SG suggested I come back the next week later. On August 25th, my admin rights were regranted. I officially returned to the wiki (even though I didn't really leave). I even started chatting again. ThisBut this just lead to me having more problems with it.
 
I really didn't like the direction the chat was heading in. Too much shitposting, and again, everyone trying to act like SG. I didn't really enjoy it. In September, I remember expressing my anger to the chat, telling them how much I missed the old days. In May, I created [https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/trollpasta/images/2/2f/The_TPWC_Chat.png/revision/latest?cb=20150524064905 this image]. It's supposed to be a "in a nutshell" type of image, but of the Trollpasta chat. In October, I decided to make a [https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/trollpasta/images/d/df/Cancer.png/revision/20151008183115 second one]. But instead of making it for fun, I made it to mock the chat. I even named the file "Cancer.png". ILater, evenI made a [https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/trollpasta/images/6/65/Cancer2.png/revision/latest?cb=20170608073048 second version of it], mocking the chat even more. I became increasingly more vocal of my distaste with the chat. In fact, if you go to the comments of this blog post, and scroll down to posts from 2015, you'll see SG mocking me for constantly complaining about the chat, So yeah. I ''really'' didn't like the chat at the time.

On December 26, 2015, I created a blog post (now deleted) titled "SOMEGUY123 SUCKS". I created it after [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:GodzillaFan1#fucking_stop SG left me a message] telling me to stop replacing the chat emotes with Bobby Kimball's face. It was a satirical and heavily exaggerated blog post of me complaining about the community. If you remove all the exaggeration and whatnot, most of what I said was I felt. It got about 60 comments, and apparently, some people thought that it was a "ruse", meaning they it was legit freak-out disguised as a joke, which isn't true. SG even temporarily revoked my admin rights over it. After the blog post was made, people started to get more annoyed with me. Me constantly complaining about the chat and community, and some people thinking the blog was a ruse ''probably'' had something to do with it.

A few weeks later on January 18, 2016, the fist demotion thread for me was created. It was later revealed to be a joke, but they tried to make it seem as real as possible. The OP of the post said: "This admin is absolutely atrocious, so why not demote him? He's inactive, he doesn't use chat, he also vandalized the emoticons, also that retarded leaving forever blog he made back in December was him clearly sperging out and presenting it as a ruse like the idiot he is." I later saw the thread, and I didn't react too kindly to it. I had no idea if it was serious or not. Because at the time, a whole bunch of joke demotion threads were made. However, the [[Thread:117437|last demotion thread for a user named Skepolo]], was actually serious, and he got demoted because of the response the thread got. I thought it was all a joke, but no. So naturally, I assumed my demotion thread was possibly serious, and I treated it as such. I then got people replying to me calling me a "fucking sperg", and that's when it was revealed it was a joke. However, newer users thought it was serious, and people started posting screenshots of things I said in the chat in the thread. I asked SG to delete the thread, and so he did.

A few weeks later, [[User blog:GodzillaFan1/Frick|my computer breaks]], meaning that I couldn't be as active on the site. The only spare computer I had was borderline unusable, meaning the only thing I could thing I could browse Trollpasta with at the time was my Wii U's internet browser (I didn't have a phone at the time). I also had no idea when I would be getting a new computer, so I went a little inactive for a while. Despite not being active on the site for an entire month, a [[Thread:122522|second demotion thread]] was made of me on March 2020th. ItAnd it made some good points. LikeThe main point being, if I really hatehated the chat and community so much, why even stick around?, Whyand do I evenwhy still have admin rights? That's when I realized I messed-up. I left a comment on the thread apologizing for my behavior. I was let off the hook, and life moved on.
 
Even though My computer was broke, and I didn't like using Wikia on the Wii U, I would occasionally comment on forums and blogs and whatnot. And whenever I did, I had someone callednamed "2xninto" keep saying "HOLY SHIT AN EDIT!". He then started spreading lies to the chat, saying my computer didn't actually break, and I use using it as an excuse to not edit. He was getting on my nerves, so I started editing more consistently... straight from my Wii U. Which, believe me, is kind ofwas a pain. Despite editing a lot more than usual, I was [[Trollpasta Wiki:Requests for rollback/ALinkToThePasta|still accused of being inactive]]. I got a new computer back in May of that year, and everything seemingly went back to normal.
