My Story:

In February 2009, I was a bored homeschooler with nothing to do. I was a member of the forum Dock Penguins, but being in Australia has its disadvantages and I was never on for the good convos. One day I followed a link from the CPW and arrived here.

I was attracted instantly. Fan-fiction in a way I could understand! The USA and its ideas sparked my imagination into a blazing fire. Characters like Explorer and Shroomsky influenced my character's designs, and I made him a Mary Sue-ish character.

I had a rocky start with a couple of users (Metalmanager mostly, and now we're good friends) but I soon mastered the art of editing. I also took an interest in the adminship system, and went to the rank of Rollback with the bar minimum of edits. Explorer and TS were like my idols due to their high status and I didn't really understand the whole HF-Fluffy thing. But I soon found out.

After the Fluffy affair I can't really remember all that well. What I do remember though was the Great Darktonian Pie War. We were powering ahead with it, but I soon realised it was getting chaotic and campaigned for putting it on hold. Then, the Golden Age began.

Editing, editing, editing. We increased by 200%. The webmaster system was torn down in favour of the BOSS.

Most basically know the story from here. ZK, Final Solution, yada yada yada. As much as I hate Wikia for forcing the new skin, I'm going to miss this website.
