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.
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. But before we continue, let's discuss Trollpasta Wiki's first exclusive user right, and the first Creepypasta Wiki chat shutdown.
On April 8th, 2014, the AVAST right was created. The right was similar to the admin right, just with a few more minor 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. AVAST was granted to over 9 different users until it was retired on April 24th, 2016, due to a new Wikia user right called "Content Moderator", which is similar to AVAST. ▼Before we continue, let's discuss Trollpasta Wiki's first exclusive user right.
On June 30th, 2014, the popular Creepypasta Wiki chat was shut down due to drama getting out of hand. The users who frequently chatted there migrated to the Trollpasta Wiki chat shorty after the shutdown, and stayed until September 15th, when the Creepypasta Wiki chat reopened. Okay, ''now'' back to the beef.

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 supportssupporters and 9 opposesopposers. 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 why he 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). ▼Now back to the beef.
We eventually worked it out, and the thread was closed the same day, and was deleted the next day (that's why it isn't linked) . During and before this time, Fatal was having some issues. Let's talk about that. ▼▲On July 12th, 2014, the first ever real demotion thread was made. And you guessed it, it was for SG.

'''''The Fall of Fatal Disease'''''
'''''<small>(March 2014 - June 2015)</small>'''''
On March 12th, 2014, [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/Fatal_Disease's_Final_Words Fatal announced that he would be retiring from Wikia]. He changed his mind only two days later, and asked for his admin rights back, which he did receive back. Later on June 5th, [[User blog:Fatal Disease/Inactivity Notice|Fatal announced that his activity on the computer was limited]] due to his parents being concerned with his depression. Then on July 28th, he created his most infamous blog post (which I can't link, because its deleted).
This blog post was titled "Another Inactivity Notice", and detailed the issues he was going through at the time. He was having issues with depression/anger, and tried to slowly kill himself because of it. He took his anger out on his family, and cried at one point due to Spinpasta Wiki users insulting him. Fatal figured that taking a break from Wikia would "cure his pain", and so he did. He returned only 2 and half weeks later, and seemed to be just fine. Although, users o
On January, 16th, 2015, Fatal officially retired from being an admin. He quit because user SteamPheonix (Callie) convinced him that Trollpasta Wiki was an "unsalvageable dump." Fatal wrote this as the demotion summary: "I don't want to be an admin on this site. This wiki is just beyond repair."
After his retirement, he revived an old wiki he created called Starpolar Wiki. The wiki became the home of the Creepypasta Wiki chat community, and ended up being a disaster because of it. Drama and controversies were happening on its chat almost everyday, which led to it getting shut down on June 26th, 2015. After the shutdown, most of the users on the site left, and has since been abandoned (until memes took over it in 2016). Fatal nowoccasionally residesvisits atthe his SandboxTrollpasta Wiki chat, andbut hasother becomethan that, he is semi-inactive on Wikia.

'''''New Community, More Drama'''''
'''''<small>(All of 2014 - May 2015)</small>''''' ▼
<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.
January 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. The Trollpasta Wiki only had 4 admins at this point (Me, Skelly, Dronian, and SOMEGUY). So we were desperate for more staff.
After all the admin demotion, a bunch of new users came in, creating a new community. However, every community isn't without its faults. A bunch of pointless drama started, and it just wouldn't stop. In February - March, two users by the names "TheDarkMaster99" and "Lolmasters" got into a huge fiasco that went on for far too long. Something about a pasta or some shit, I don't know. After all of that was settled, TheDarkMaster created a thread about raiding the Five Nights at Freddy's Wiki, which in turn [http://trollpasta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3ATheDarkMaster99 got him banned for a month], and the [[Thread:87557|thread itself got over 200+ replies]].
Some other minor drama bullshit happened as well. Particularly with some small incidents with ~Boggy B~, and some nonsense with chat raiders. Then... possibly the biggest drama outburst in TPW history (besides the Oderyus saga) happened.
'''''The Celtic Saga'''''
'''''<small>(May 2015 - August 2015)</small>'''''
A user by the name "ThatCelticFurry" was a chat moderator on the Trollpasta Wiki ever 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 break. While I do think Celtic was being a bit annoying in the situation, Kerbin could have just simply left the chat if he didn't like the pony emote spam. 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, and gave Kerbin a free pass. He didn't face any consequences.
Wait... So, we punish Celtic, but not Kerbin? What were we thinking? The only thing Celtic did was act like a complete moron while poking fun at Kerbin. Kerbin on the other hand, got triggered by pony emotes and made a huge fucking deal out of it. I have no idea why he didn't get punished for it, and I don't know why I didn't speak up about it. Probably because the whole situation was exhausting by that point, so I didn't really care what really happened.
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 User 2, then it turns into a huge drama fest and they argue for hours. But here's the thing; which situation would you get upset by? Someone spamming emotes in the 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 anyways, after that morning, Celtic bitched on his Tumblr blog, making immature posts insulting the Trollpasta staff and the community in general. So we all decided to raid his Tumblr (aka we all came together and spammed his Ask feature with stupid shit, a lot of it relating to the drama that happened in chat.) Instead of easily ignoring the messages we sent him, he replied to nearly every single one of them. Plus he wouldn't shut up about being banned and demoted. I can see why he would complain about it, considering this is mostly Kerbin's fault. But he just got down-right obnoxious about the whole situation, and handled it rather poorly. Not to mention when people would bait him, he would take the bait. Yeah... After that, we all lost respect for Celtic, at least for a few months we did.
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 unbanned him from the Trollpasta Wiki. However, we wouldn't give back his rights. He would have to work his way back up to get them again.
(You can read the chat log to that [http://pastebin.com/fUstGLPv here].)
''''' TheA DroidRough SagaBeginning''''' ▼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.
▲'''''<small>( AllJanuary of 20142015 - MayApril 2015)</small>'''''
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.
Oh man, what a year ''this'' was.
'''''My Retirement Fiasco & Backlash from Fangirls'''''
On January 1st, 2015, the Creepypasta Wiki chat closes again, this time permanently. The users who frequently chatted there once again migrated to Trollpasta Wiki, but this time they caused pointless drama. Luckily, they were only on chat for a week, and they jump-ship to the Spinpasta Wiki chat, which would be there home until the Starpolar Wiki happened. But that's a whole other can of worms we'll get into later.
'''''<small>(August 2015 - November 2015)</small>'''''
We also lost 4 admins during this month. One of them being Fatal, another being Callie, who quit due to some Trollpasta Wiki users making fun of her on the Spinpasta Wiki chat. The other two admins, Sack of Nuts and Superplankofdeath, were demoted due to inactivity. The only remaining admins were Me, SG, Skelly, and Dronian. However, SG took a break from the wiki on January 30th due to personal reasons, Dronain was inactive, and I wasn't editing/chatting much. So Skelly was pretty much the only one looking after things. A new Trollpasta Wiki community was formed during this time as well, with most of the people on chat and on the site being new users. They were bit a troublesome at times though.
After all of the drama, I avoided chat more often. It really took a lot out of me. I was also getting increasingly bored of the wiki in general. So, in early August (like the idiot I was) I started teasing the chat that was leaving the wiki. On August 3rd, I temporarily retired the Trollpasta Wiki, giving up my admin rights, and grayed-out my icon. The thing is though, it was intended to be a ''permanent'' retirement. So why did I change my mind? Well, the main reason was... this blog post. Despite planning to permanently retire from the wiki, I didn't want to leave this blog hanging. So I continued to update it constantly, adding loads of new info and details. Getting so involved with the history of the wiki really made me miss being an admin again. So I asked for my rights back, and became admin again on August 25th. I felt really embarrassed that I decided to make a big deal out of a retirement that only lasted for a few weeks. But it was for the better, because it helped me fill this blog with a ton of details and content. I'm glad I did it.
In February 2015, two users by the names "TheDarkMaster99" (Dark) and "Lolmasters" started causing a lot of drama on the main site. This was because of Lolmasters vandalizing Dark's pasta which won pasta of the month. They constantly argued with each other in the comments section of pastas and [[User blog:Lolmasters/I'm back|blog posts]]. Lolmasters' wiki even got raided by vandals, which Dark claimed he had nothing to do with. Dark jumped the shark on March 12th, 2015, by creating [[Thread:87557|a thread about raiding the Five Nights at Freddy's wiki]]. He got banned for 1 month for it, and thread itself had over 200 replies.
In August 2015, a pasta known as "Jason the Toy Maker" from DeviantArt was added to this wiki. Nobody seemed to care about it being on the wiki, until November 2015. Someone on Tumblr who is close friends with the author of the story, [http://euphobea.tumblr.com/post/133616831319/trollpasta-wiki-problems made a post] letting people know that the pasta was on this wiki, and DEMANDED that Trollpasta Wiki get shut down. That's when the fangirls came from the depths of DeviantArt and Tumblr, and raged in the comments section of the pasta. Many of the Trollpasta regulars and such also went to the comments section, defending the pasta's inclusion on the site. But the defending didn't help, as the pasta was taken down due to a DMCA notice. Wikia Staff had to choice but to take down the article, leaving the fangirls in victory.
At the end of the month, the first version of [http://fatals-sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/The_History_of_Trollpasta_Wiki?oldid=5209 The History of Trollpasta] was created. As you can tell (if you clicked the link), the tone of it was very different than what it is now. It mainly focused on me, and had more bias in it. I moved the post to here as a blog on August 2nd, 2015. There's a reason why I did, but we won't get into that until a few chapters from now. On April 23rd, 2016, this entire blog was rewritten to have a more neutral perspective, and included a chapter about the beginnings of this wiki. We've come a long way, haven't we?
Thank you for reading. Be on the look out for more future updates, and please leave a comment if you've noticed any errors, or would like to request something to be added here.</s>
On April 22nd, 2015, SG returned from his break. From this day forward until the end of the year, the chat regularly had 15-20 on chat at once. We were also getting a lot of staff. Things were going smoothly, and we had a good time. That is, until May 2015 to the end of the year, where endless drama occurred.
Enjoy the the droid saga below.

On August 23, 2015 a user by the name of Angrydroideka10 came. Not a lot of people liked him and a user called Soviet Comrade would always rage. AD10 created 4 pastas (all deleted). He often brought his friends with him (one,Ginnyharry4ever,was trolled like crazy and Angrydroideka hated it. Then he created a thread (which was mistook as a raid thread) and infinity banned, 3 days later Skep unbanned him and he discovered 7 days later he was unbanned. He came to chat late at night and he and SG raged over Greece's alternate names,whilst Sinon kept saying "Deez nuts" and Rebel spamming. No one was banned though.
