My Story
(2012 - present)
My Beginning
(November 2012 - May 2013)
I joined the wiki on November 12th, 2012. The only thing I did was create shitty spam pastas, and had no intentions of editing. I even got banned twice for not updating the article listings. The first time I got blocked, I added this to my profile on the Creepypasta Wiki. Real mature, am I right?
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 "quite the contributer lately", and asked if I wanted to help out with the category reorganization effort. I agreed to help, and two days later I became a rollback.
April 9th, 2013. Skelly just became a bureaucrat, and one of the first things he did 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 happened on that day? Well, let me explain.
My Fall and Return
(May 2013 - August 2013)
In early May, I thought it would be a GREAT idea to vandalize multiple wikis under a 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 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. Wikia had enough of my bullshit, and blocked my IP for 4 months, meaning I wouldn't get unblocked until August 10th, 2013. I was on the Have Fun Wiki chat when this was happening, so I started losing my shit. If I left the chat, I could never re-enter it again for good 4 months. So I wanted to stay on for as long as possible. However, TheToaMaster joke kicked me off the chat for whatever reason.
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. 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. My ban was originally supposed to end on August 10th. However, I got unbanned on the 3rd for some reason. This day is a special to me. In June, I told myself I was going to act more mature and lay off the troll grammar. Beforehand, I was very immature, obnoxious, cringeworhty, and I wouldn't stop using troll grammar, even on sites that weren't the Trollpasta Wiki. It was quite annoying, and gave me a bad image. I changed up my act, because I wanted to be taken seriously and treated with respect. If it weren't for that block, I probably wouldn't be the same person as I am today. Some I'm very grateful for that, and is why I cherish that day so much.
I returned to the Trollpasta Wiki, but didn't really edit much. Instead, I went to work on another wiki I was on; the Have Fun Wiki. The Have Fun Wiki wasn't getting much traffic, so I decided to advertise it via the Trollpasta Wiki chat. While I was doing that, I met Fatal Disease (who later became admin). We talked for awhile, and became very good friends.
At this point, I started caring about the Trollpasta Wiki again, and became obsessed with the chat. I was on the chat almost everyday though out the year, and met a ton of new people. Some of which who eventually became admin. Like SOMEGUY123, Haramonia, and Superplankofdeath. The Trollpasta Wiki community was growing really fast, and many users were becoming admin and chat mods. In fact, we were a bit overstaffed.
The Oderyus Saga
(August 2013 - January 2014)
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. Grew to the point where he was eligible for adminship. He asked Skelly if he could become an admin, but Skelly didn't approve, stating he was "too new" to become an admin. Oderyus was disappointed by this, but he instead became a rollback and chat moderator.
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 dick about everything. Not to mention he was extremely arrogant, douchey, and vandalized many wikis, such as the MLP and Seddie wikis. The other admins also took notice of his shitty attitude and behavior. We had enough of his bullshit, and banned him for a month.
Before the ban, me and Oderyus would use sock accounts regularly in chat. We would roleplay often, and exchanged several sock accounts with each other. These sock accounts were mainly based on celebrities, and they were only used for shitposting in the chat. However, Oderyus took one of my socks and vandalized the Seddie Wiki with it. Of course, he tried putting the blame on me for it a little while after he got blocked. He also said that I harassed a gay guy with the Donald Trump sock account. Needless to say, I was fucking infuriated by this. So I extended his current block to Christmas. SOMEGUY later undid the ban on Halloween, stating that I shouldn't block people for personal reasons.
After he got unbanned, his behavior was slightly better... but not for long. Weeks go by and we start noticing him going back to his old ways. He caused more drama bullshit, so we decided that we had enough of his shenanigans, and blocked him infinitely.
A week or two before Oderyus got unbanned (this takes place in October), Haramonia randomly went inactive for 2 weeks. No one really knows why he did. He came back to chat after his 2 week hiatus, but he didn't stay long though (around 30 minutes IIRC). Ever since that day, Haramonia was never seen or heard from again. It's weird, because he never gave a warning prior to leaving. Very strange...
January 2014. It's a brand new year, and whadya' know, Oderyus is back! He kept bothering us to go to chat on the Wolfenism Wiki throughout the entire month. We'd go to the chat, and the only thing Oderyus did was spam and throw immature insults at us. We tried talking sense to him, but he wouldn't listen to anything we said. He said "we betrayed him" and "we were his only friends" or some shit like that. After a while, he decided to leave us alone, and disabled his account. Oderyus was never seen or heard from again since then.
New Community, More Drama
(All of 2014 - May 2015)
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 that many "good times." Things just didn't feel as alive as it used too, 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.
The beginning of 2015. Fatal Disease (one of the most respected admins on the site) 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 it's faults. A bunch of bullshit 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, DarkMaster created a thread about raiding the Five Nights at Freddy's Wiki, which in turn got him banned for a month, and the 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 raiders. Then... possibly the biggest drama outburst in TPW history (besides the Oderyus saga) happened.
The Celtic Saga
(May 2015 - August 2015)
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 recently removed, so I thought it would be funny if we 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 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, and gave Kerbin a free pass. He didn't face any consequences.
Wait... So, 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, and I don't know why I didn't speak up about it. Probably because the whole situation was exhausting by this point, so I didn't really care what 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 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 raided his Tumblr (aka we all came together and spammed his Ask feature with stupid shit, a lot of it relating to the drama.) 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.
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.
(You can read the chat log to that 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 "I'm Leaving" 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.
The End? (W.I.P)
(August 2015 - present)
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.
(I even pulled a "I'm retiring" prank due to this.)
July 2015. With each passing day, I avoided the Trollpasta Wiki more and more. I was just getting bored of it. I didn't enjoy editing anymore, and I didn't have fun with the chat anymore either. I didn't enjoy the two main things about the site anymore, so the "should I retire?" question popped in my head more and more. I noticed that August 3rd was just around the corner. So I said to myself that I would retire on that day, as hard of a thing it would be to do.
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.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Trivia
Facts about Me (relating to TPW)
- I don't remember how I discovered this wiki.
- The first thing I said on chat was me calling something "gay". Skelly PM'd me and told me not to use "gay" as an insult because "it might offend someone".
- I applied for bureaucrat in October 2013. However, it was rejected and SOMEGUY123 was made bureaucrat instead.
- I used to hold monthly Trollpasta Wiki tier lists in 2014 on my sandbox wiki. I only did March - July, however.
- I thought about retirement as far back as 2014.
- I was originally going to make a "Goodbye" blog on August 3rd. But while writing it, the words just wouldn't come to me, so I canceled it.
Facts about Trollpasta Wiki
- This is what Trollpasta Wiki looked like on December 10th, 2012.
- 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 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 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 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 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 new thread petitioning to get rid of anon editing for the 3rd time finally got it disabled for good. What a long battle...
- We did a Christmas theme in 2013. EVIL PATRIXXX had a Santa Claus hat and a white beard, plus the wiki buttons were red (by "buttons" I mean the "edit" button and stuff like that.)
- Trollpasta Wiki has went through many meme fads. A lot of these blew up for a short period of time. Here's a list of them.
- 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 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 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 just for Gizoogle pastas. They eventually lost steam, and died out sometime in 2014.
- Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Hour (2013). Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Hour Lost Episode is a "creepypasta" that is a retelling of the popular video with the same name (minus the "Lost Episode" part). The pasta was originally uploaded to the Spinpasta Wiki, but was moved to this wiki. Due to the shittyness of the pasta, and the weirdest of the video itself, it got really popular. It was often talked about in chat a lot, and lot of users would shitpost the famous "the pizza is aggressive" line from the video constantly. While no shitty clones or anything like that were made, a sequel to the original video was created. I thought I'd take advantage of this, and create Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Hour 2. It was no where near as popular as the original, but it did get some recognition. The Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Hour meme died shortly there after.
- 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 relevant than ever at this point, so a spawn of shitty Sonic.exe parodies and rip-offs started flooded the wiki. It got so bad, we had to start deleting them. The Sonic.exe craze died sometime in 2014.
- 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.
Facts about other users on TPW
- 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 blocked infinitely on April 20th, 2013, and eventually got his account globally blocked by Wikia.
- Fatal Disease originally 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.
- There was this one asshole named named "サタン" (meaning "Satan"). He "reported" the Trollpasta Wiki chat to the FBI due to "terrorists threats", he even screencapped it. I don't think he was joking either, as he did similar things like this later on. Thankfully, we haven't seen him since 2014.
- The Trollpasta Wiki has lost many admins over years (mainly due to inactivity). Here's a list of former admins. (NOTE: The dates are when they became admin, and when they got demoted.)

- Some of the current and former admins here had former usernames. Here's a list of them.
- The Koromo's original name was "Coffee Shop Corporate Raider".
- 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.
- Sack of Nuts' original name was "Givemepancakes".
- Steam Phoenix's original name was "Princess Callie".
- TotemUxie has gone through too many name changes to count. (lol)
