User blog:Shurow/5 Years on the Club Penguin Wiki Pt. 1

As of today January 2, 2013, I have been on the Club Penguin Wikia for 5 years. To celebrate this day, this is going to be a special blog explaining a little bit more about myself and will describe my experiences on the wiki.

How I discovered the wiki was very simple. On January 1, 2008, I was browsing through the Internet trying to find out a little bit about Club Penguin's history. While I was looking for Club Penguin blogs on Google, at the very top of the page I saw "Club Penguin Wiki." On January 2, 2008, I made my account on Wikia. For those of you who don't know, I was actually underage when I first joined the wiki. I was 10, about to be 11.

My very first edit on the wiki was actually on my user page. For the first 3 weeks on the wiki I didn't edit much, I made a few small edits to my user page and that was about it. My first contribution on a mainspace article was on the PSA Secret Missions article, on January 24, 2008. After that I was inactive on the wiki for about 6 months. When I came back in early June 2008 I made more edits to my user page (that was really all I did back in that time). On June 21, 2008, I made my first article on the wiki, List of natural disasters in Club Penguin. On June 23, 2008, I made my second article, List of Gary's Inventions. For the rest of 2008, I wasn't active very often. I made a few small edits on articles and edited my user page most of the time.

2009 was the smallest year for me on the wiki. I only made 9 edits that entire year (most of which were on my user page). I did not return to the wiki again until May 31, 2010. Throughout 2010 I created 9 different articles and made about 400 edits. My last edit on the wiki in 2010, was on July 13, 2010. After that I did not come back to the wiki again until October 2011. This is because in November 2010 I became very bored with Club Penguin. After the release of stamps I could no longer play mini-games, the EPF was a snooze fest, and none of my friends on Club Penguin played anymore. So in December 2010, I quit Club Penguin and thought I would never look back.
