In early 2000 rsnail wanted a good place online for kids since there really wasnt anything back then. However although he had the ideas he couldnt do it alone. He started with a few versions of a beta test (Penguin Chat) before working things out. He got some of his friends (such as Gizmo, Screenhog and Billybob to help) and they worked tirelessly but they estimated it would take many years (they predicted the public release of Club Penguin in 2010)

However they enlisted the help of Dave Krysko (who founded New Horizons interactive) and they made it happen as early as 2005. And thats how it started.

As for Disney, In summer 2007 rsnail was searching for help to expand. Many companies (even Sega) offered to buy Club Penguin but in the end rsnail thought Disney would be the best. (And well it kinda was... until recently) And thats how- er... why it was created. SEGA should've bought it! Sonic Party! WOOT WOOT! Too bad Spike Hike has no heart of better stuff, only uglyness. That's really mean to Spike Hike.
