Line 43:
"The Purge™" is what we like to call it, is a process where the wiki goes through a mass deletion of hundreds of pastas (yes, the admins are the ones deleting them, not bots.) The Purge™ usually happens once a year, and typically lasts no more than a week. The first ever purge to happen to Trollpasta Wiki was on August 23rd, 2013. The Purge™ was started by a user who was at the time relatively unknown, and had recently returned from a 7 month hiatus. That user would be "Oderyus". He was very unhappy with a lot of the content on the wiki being ALL CAPS poorly written garbage, so he wanted to do something about it. He requested rollback rights (he also became a chatmod), got them, and started adding the [[Template:D|delete template]] to over 300 pastas, and nearly all of them got deleted. Due to this, his edit count grew. Grew to the point he was eventually eligible for adminship. On August 26th, 2013, Oderyus contacted Skelly on his talk page, requesting for adminship. Skelly didn't approve, stating that he was "too new" to become an admin just yet.
Oderyus was well-liked among the admin team. He got along with them well, and quickly became friends with them. But there was one admin who couldn't stand him, and didn't like him at all. That admin was me. While the other admins weren't on chat, I'd often be in the chat all alone with Oderyus. He seemed to have a darker side to him (his true self) when the others weren't around. He was disrespectful to the users of the chat, often saying "I don't care" or "no" whenever someone would say something that didn't interest him. He was also extremely arrogant on top of that, often praising himself for his "intelligence." He even took part in cross-wiki vandalism,
Before the 1-month block he received, and despite me disliking Oderyus, me and him would often roleplay with sockpuppet accounts in the chat. Oderyus would give me the passwords to his sock accounts, and I would give him the passwords to mine. Needless to say, it wasn't the smartest thing of me to do, as Oderyus took my [[User:Donald Trump|Donald Trump]] sock account and vandalized the Seddie Wiki with it on August 29th, 2013. Two weeks after his 1-month block, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/What_Happened_in_the_CPW_Chat he tried putting the blame on me for it, saying I harassed a gay guy with the account, and also said I spammed the Trollpasta Wiki chat with] [[User:GodzillaFan2|another sockaccount]]. Of course, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Trollpasta_Wiki_PM_Chat_About_Oderyus I was absolutely infuriated by the lies he said about me]. So I took it upon myself to extend his block all the way to Christmas on October 7th, 2013. SG later undid the block on Halloween, saying I shouldn't extend blocks for personal reasons.
Line 66:
With the conclusion of that, let's finally get right into 2014.
'''''Beef Problems'''''
'''''<small>(January 2014 - July 2014)</small>'''''
On January 4th, 2014, the first [[Thread:34063|joke thread]] was made. The thread stated that new rules and changes were coming to Trollpasta Wiki. Such as: no swearing, no deletion log refugees, you must use proper grammar in chat, and more. Of course, nearly all these new rules sounded outlandish and ridiculous, but since a joke thread like this was never made before, I thought it was serious. I was very upset by these proposed changes, so I deleted my profile, and was about to revoke my admin rights. That is, until I went to chat, and everyone told me it was just a prank. Similar threads like this were made after, but mainly directed towards admins. Such as joke demotion threads.
A few weeks after that, Me and SG got into an "undo war" over [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/TEH_DAY_OF_ALL_TEH_BLOD?action=history TEH DAY OF ALL THE BLOD]. He was adding the [[:Category:SUGGESTED READING|SUGGESTED READING]] category to the page, even though it was already tagged with [[:Category:Ghastly Macaroni|Ghastly Macaroni]] (it is against the rules to add those two categories together on the same page). Skelly intervened and stated there are some exceptions to the rules, so the SUGGESTED READING category stayed. I got into other little undo wars with SG before this as well. Anytime he would undo my edits, I would undo his. I started to dislike SG as time when on, but we'll get more into this later on.
For now, let's discuss a minor issue that somehow got a lot of attention and caused a lot of controversy: The YouTube auto-play template. This template was typically used for songs, and users would place it on their profiles, to which it would automatically play the song upon arrival. This was a pretty annoying feature. So much so, that on March 22nd, 2014, [[User:Sack of Nuts|Sack of Nuts]] (who was an admin at the time) [[Thread:41512|created a thread proposing the removal of the YouTube auto-play template]], and that anyone who used the template should be banned. The thread received a mixed response. Some users were for the removal, and some were completely against it. Most of the thread replies consisted of me throwing a tantrum over how annoying the template was, all while spouting outlandish statements. This was the first case of my "sperging", but we'll talk more on that in just a few more chapters.
But anyway, the thread was closed on May 10th. The template stayed, but the auto-play feature was removed. Since then, the popularity of the template dropped to the point that no one uses it anymore.
Now more on my beef with SG.
On March 29th, 2014, [http://godzillafan1s-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Template:STNTBVBTPOSG I wrote a "secret" rant on my Sandbox Wiki] about how frustrated I was with SG's (at the time) recent actions. My main issue with him was his laziness. He would say certain chat rules didn't apply anymore (like the "don't say random shit rule"), but he never removed them from the chat rules. He was also asked many times by various users to check the rollback apps, but still didn't check them. Of course, no one was happy about his laziness. So much so that on April 6th, everyone in the chat declared I become the next bureaucrat so I could check the apps. Sack of Nuts [[User:SOMEGUY123/Talk Archive 3#Our Next B-Crat|even messaged SG about it]]. Though, he never did respond to it.
Sack of Nuts then later told me on chat that SG started something called "NO RULES WEEKEND". He also removed the spam related rules from the chat rules a few days prior. So I updated the rant on the same day, expressing more distaste for SG. 3 hours later, [[User:SOMEGUY123/Talk Archive 3#So...|I left a message on his talk page]] confronting him about "NO RULES WEEKEND'. [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 2#RE: 16|SG replied to my message]], stating that it was a test to see if anyone would protest against it. This isn't over just yet, so buckle up.
On July 12th, 2014, the first ever real demotion thread was made. And you guessed it, it was for SG. The thread was created by Fatal, and pretty much reinstated what I already said in my rant. The thread proposed that SG should remove his bureaucrat rights (not his admin rights), as he was lazy when it came to his job: checking the apps. The thread received a mainly negative reception, with 7 supports and 9 opposes. The OP was a bit drawn out, and it mentioned some unnecessary things that didn't need to be mentioned (like trying to pass [[User:GodzillaFan1/Talk Archive 1#ENGLISH RULE|this]] off as harassment for no reason.) Despite this, the thread did an okay job at getting across the point that SG was lazy at his job, and should remove his bureaucrat rights. The supporters gave reasons why he should be demoted, and the opposers hardly gave any reasons why he shouldn't be demoted, and when they did give reasons, none of them defended or addressed his laziness. Even SG himself didn't address it either (which was the main point the OP was trying to get across).
We eventually worked it out, and the thread was closed the same day, and was deleted the next day.
Before we move on to the next chapter, let's discus Trollpasta Wiki's first exclusive user right.
On April 8th, 2014, the AVAST right was created. The right was similar to the admin right, just with a few more restrictions. This was inspired by a right on Creepypasta Wiki, called "VCROC", which was pretty much the same thing as an AVAST. The first user granted the right was [[User:Superplankofdeath|Superplankofdeath]], whom later became an admin on July 11th, 2014. The AVAST right was retired on April 24th, 2016, due to a new Wikia user right called "Content Moderator", which is the same thing as an AVAST.

'''''<small>(All of 2014 - May 2015)</small>'''''
<s>On March 12th, 2014, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Fatal_Disease's_Final_Words Fatal announced that he's retiring from Wikia]. He changed his mind only two days later, and asked for his admin rights back, which he did receive.
On June 5th, [[User blog:Fatal Disease/Inactivity Notice|Fatal announced that his activity on the computer was limited]] due to his depression.</s>
After all of that, 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 anything memorable or noteworthy in 2014. Things just didn't feel as alive as it used to be, and I really don't know why. But yeah, I don't remember that much from 2014. It just wasn't that memorable to me. It wasn't as of fun as 2013, but there was still some fun moments.
