User:Sharkbate/Journal

Chapter 1: The beginning of a wonderful life!
A long time ago, I used to come here as an IP to help edit. I was not a vandal IP, and I am not a vandal user. I eventually got so interested in this wiki that I just had to create an account. I know, today, people ask my if my name comes from the movie "Finding Nemo". Well, it kinda does. But it also comes from my brother, who liked sharks, and then got into tractors more...Ok, back to the subject. Now, I thought Sharkbait looked weird. So, I improvised. I typed Sharkbate, and it looked more better and it made more sense. On December 13, 2008, I decided to create my account. I made my account, and made my first edit on my user page. I was a noob back then to wiki and wikia style, so I acted a bit...funny if you might so call it. Then, I received a new message. It was a welcome from Barkjon, who I now know is a webmaster. Like I said, I was a noob, so I wrote a reply on my talk page. If you click here and look at the welcome notice, you'll see what I had wrote. I started and I knew I would have a great time editing!

Chapter 2: Meeting Friends
As I started to edit, Sk8rbluscat who was the top user, noticed how good I was getting at editing. He placed a message on my talk with 2 awards. His old and his new. At the time, I felt so happy! Then, I continued to edit. Eventually, I got another message on my talk page. It was from Hat Pop, who is now one of my best friends! Hat Pop had asked me if I could meet her on Club Penguin. She was the first person to invite me on Club Penguin. It was funny, because when I got on, Metalmanager was there too! This is when Metalmanager and I started to become better friends. The same went with Hat Pop and I. I was having so much fun! I could not believe it! Then, I got ANOTHER message. This one was from Flystar55555. He had complimented on my editing skills, and gave me his award! Soon after, Spongebobrocks09 became my friend. I don't quite remember how though. Anyway, he asked me if he could be on Snowman TV. I said yes. This was before I found out his penguin was in Safe Chat. Anyway, he said I could tell him what I said through the Shout Box. I was like "What the heck is a shout box?"

Chapter 3: The Shout Box and it's Mysteries
Spongebobrocks09 soon told me what it was and how to get there. Soon enough, I got on. Guess who else was there? Barkjon, Hat Pop, and Metalmanager. The Shout Box is where Hat Pop, Metal, and myself became better friends. We would often chat about cool stuff and fun ideas. Eventually, Metalmanager told me that him and his brother, Sk8itbot08, were going to remake Penguin Chat 3. He said he had all the sprites (characters/moving objects) for the game. I later found out that the computer they had the sprites on had a virus. I also had the sprites and I said I could make it. I thought it would get Metal to be more of my friend. But, it totally backfired. He said the following:

'''  WHAT! YOU COPYCAT! NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN! '''

I was speachless. I was literally crying, in real life! I then knew what I had to do. I had announced to the users on the shout box (Hat Pop and Metal) that I was quitting. I edited my user page and added the quit template.

Chapter 4: Quitting and it's Disadvantages
I also set up a poll on my user page, asking users if I should quit. Even Metalmanager was shocked. He voted for me to stay, which made me 1000x happier. More voters voted I should stay, so I erased the template and came back. This was not the last time me and Mr. Quit template would meet...

Chapter 5: The announcement of Waddle World
About a month or two after these events, Sk8itbot08, Hat Pop, Metal, and I formed a gaming group. We had named our group "SHMS Gaming". Since Sk8itbot and I had a lot of gaming experience, we thought that we could do the actual gaming. As for Hat Pop and Metalmanager, they were exploding with ideas and drawings! Not long after, other users started to join, but we still remained SHMS. Soon after the group was formed, we came up with a game we would call "Waddle World". I created a wiki for it (it is now abandoned) and we started making pages. However, we started to think about copyright issues with Club Penguin. We were starting to think that we shouldn't go through with Waddle World, as we may have gotten sued by Club Penguin. Metalmanager and I started to get a little...rough...after this. By the way, not long after the anncouncement of Waddle World, I became a rollback. Ok, back to whatever I was talking about. Metal and I were over-reacting. We evenually started to practically hate each other! After this, we knew SHMS Gaming would never continue, and that Waddle World would just be a memory.

Chapter 6: Requesting for Adminship and a rise with Edits
I have gone back to the Requests for Adminship page many times. I requested to be an administrator many times. This is when Bluehero got involved. He would always turn town my administrator requests because he thought I wasn't ready! How could I not be ready? I was 5th on the top users at this point! He told me to edit some more, so I did. I edited day and night, day and night. When I was sick, editing was all I did, and take medicine. I eventually got 2,000 edits. I had moved up to 3rd best editor at this point. I wen't back to the Requests for Adminship page and made my request to become a sysop. Bluehero, changed his vote to 'For' rather then 'Against'. This made me very happy. When I requested, there were about 2 requests. If you look now, you'll see tons of requests to gain powers. Now when I look back, I can see how much this wiki has changed...

Chapter 7: Becoming an Administrator
Metalmanager, after he became my friend again, then promoted me to an administrator. He told me I had to pass a test, and I'm lucky I got to even DO the test because I was at school. Then when I finished all my work, I used the class computer to pass my test. I don't even know why I had to do the test because at that time, you could not demote administrators. But, I did, and passed the test anyway!

Chapter 8: The Wall of Fame and Crisis III
I was so high up in edits, Barkjon added me to the Wall of Fame. It was ironic because Metalmanager was added just a few days before. And...heh heh, Metalmanager being Metalmanager, he thought I was copying. I was like whatever. I didn't really care because, hey, I didn't copy him. Soon after, I made a request to become a bureaucrat. Many people voted yes. Many people voted Neutral, some users voted Against. The 2 webmasters at the time, Barkjon and TurtleShroom, both voted 'For'. Lucky for me, 'For' won! But that left someone in a grumpy mood. His name was yours truely, Metalmanager. He quit, causing many others to quit, including myself and Barkjon. This was my first crisis, and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through any crisis'...Anyway, after many users who pleaded, Barkjon and Metalmanager came back. I was still taking a break until I could trust everyone again. Eventually, I came back.

Chapter 9: Ben, Ben, Ben
A new user shortly came along. His name was Ben 100022. A calm and nice user. Well, at least I thought he was until I cought him and Code1125 talking rudely about me. TurtleShroom then blocked them both. Code1125 gave me a true apology. As for Ben, he just said "sorry...". I was impressed. I expected better from him. He then gave me his true apologies, and I accepted them. We then became great friends, until, the "incident".

Chapter 10: Ben 100022's transformation to Evil
After Ben started talking on XAT with a fellow user named Yorkielvr333CP, he started getting rude. The reason was unknown, as Yorkielvr333CP hadn't done anything wrong. Ben 100022 then became one of those users who loves to make more and more accounts. He made so many sockpuppets, it was unbelievable! He started to swear and vandalize. He eventually got pinned to the wall with stacks of evidence, and then he was blocked. Around this time, Metalmanager had quit again...However, he returned under the name of Barn Owls Rule, then DragonBeater, then Bixby, then The Sonamy Show, and now claiming to be good, The Real Ben.

Chapter 11: The Real Ben = The Old Ben
His newest account, The Real Ben, was used by Ben 100022 to announce that he had turned a new leaf, meaning he had become good again. Not many believed him at first, but lots of users changed their mind after seeing his new performance of goodness.

Chapter 12: Back before The Real Ben was created, Walrus Attacks
It was nice and calm until, Walrus returned. He vandalized many pages and screwed up the wikias good name. We eventually beat him, but there is a 50% chance that he will return for a third time.

Chapter 13: The Return of Metalmanager and Sk8itbot08
Metalmanager and Sk8itbot08 appeared on the Shout Box one day. They deleted and ruined over half the articles on the wiki! It was later proven that they were hacked. Metalmanager then stayed for a few days. Hat Pop was then promoted to bureaucrat by TurtleShroom. Doing this, he broke the Magna Carta. Metalmanager, enraged because his bureaucrat powers were taken, demanded re-promotion. Many users tried but Wikia Staff disabled the ability to become a bureaucrat. They also disabled the ability for administrators and bureaucrats to edit media wiki pages. Soon after, Metalmanager once agian departed.

Chapter 14: Going back to the Future, Media Wiki Return
Many admins were angry at the fact that they could not edit media wiki. Wikia Staff shut the ability to edit media wiki because of the Walrus Attacks. Alxeedo111 then sent a complaint to wikia staff. The day after, the ability to edit media wiki was re-opened.

Chapter 15: Blogs!
One day, Wikia Staff created a new feature that allowed users to create blogs! They also made it so each user could choose their own avatar! This was 50% good...but 50% bad. The 50% good part was that we could use blogs instead of user pages to advertise things and write our feelings. The 50% bad part is that main space may go down 30%.

Chapter 16: Many users sad at the departure of TurtleShroom
On July 3, 2009, webmaster TurtleShroom stepped down as his position of dictator and webmaster of the Club Penguin Wiki. He had left Wompus78 and Hat Pop to replace him. I was shocked and so angry. I deserved the webmaster spot more then Wompus. He wasn't even a bureaucrat and I had way more edits then him. Outraged, I stuck the quit template, once again, on my user page. Everyone was demanding that I became Webmaster with Hat Pop. TurtleShroom then changed his mind and gave the power of webmaster to me.

Chapter 17: Barkjon
Barkjon was very sad that TurtleShroom had departed. However, he was ok with Hat Pop and I replacing him. But he then went on to say that Hat Pop should be assistant webmaster, as I was assistant webmaster before. Meaning, that I'm taking TurtleShroom's place and Hat Pop is taking my place.
