Here is my history on the Club Penguin Wiki:
You may be interested in reading about my history, and I've been keeping record of it since I joined, so here is my incredibly biased point of view on the wiki's historical events!
==2009: Just the Beginning==
I joined Club Penguin on July 8, 2009. A few weeks later, I joined the wiki, making me one of the quickest penguins to join the site since joining Club Penguin. My wiki-birthday is disputed. At the time I joined, it was July 29, 2009, although it was now July 30, 2009 in almost every other time zone. To this day, I consider July 30 as my official wiki-birthday. My beginning wasn't exciting - in fact, the first seven edits I made were all userpage edits. One of the main reasons why I stayed is because of a few warm welcomes.


==Early Era (July 29, 2009 - February 15, 2010)==
On August 23, I created my first article: [[Green Headphones]]. It actually doesn't look that bad for a new user. By the end of the month, a skin bug prompted me to create a new account: ClubPenguinArchives. The edits from that account is now lost on the new wiki after a user merge. It was on that account that gave me my fame. I had a two week inactivity period in October, but when I came back, I started editing like crazy. By the end of the year, I was on the radar on the Top Contributors list.
===First Month===
I joined the Club Penguin Wiki on July 29, 2009 and recorded my first edit at 9:52 PM PDT. Like new Wikians, I am not skilled with Wikicode, and created my userpage by typing out a few sentences. Compared to now, I was not active with the Club Penguin Wiki when I first joined, as I edited every few days and a majority of them were userpage edits. I created my [[Green Headphones|<span style="color:white">first article</span>]] on August 23, 2009.


===Switchover to ClubPenguinArchives===
==2010: PPRROOMMOOTTIIOONN!!!==
Not knowing how to revert edits at the time, I found it annoying to have a poll stub on my userpage (it was the bottom part of a poll, appearing out of nowhere without coding for it). Also knowing I was creating videos of past pins and parties at the time, I created the user ClubPenguinArchives, and continued editing there.
[[File:LM96Avatar1.PNG|thumb|120px|left|My first user avatar]]
2010 is probably no doubt the height of my time as an editor. In January, I continued to edit crazy, and among some user rights issue for inactive rollbacks, I was nominated as a replacement candidate. I even got the right for rollback briefly before the admins decided that replacements aren't needed. I remember out of curiosity I clicked rollback to see what it did. Since then I never got "rollback" again. I also attended my first Club Penguin user-hosted party and went on IRC for the first time. [[User:Hat Pop|Hat Pop]] is my first wiki-friend. By February I learned how to use the undo button, and when I did so on my old userpage (LordMaster96), the glitch had disappeared, and I switched accounts, effectively abandoning two thousand edits.


===Silence===
Back on LordMaster96, it was hard getting users to believe I was actually ClubPenguinArchives but they did believe me. I continued my streak of edits and at the same time, became very involved with the vandalism report page. On May 4, 2012, I made over 400 edits on that one day - that was the height of my editing as I never got near that mark again. Later that month, as a result of my constant vandalism reporting, I was nominated for adminiship to replace Ced1214. Easily, I won that process by a 19 vote margin. ShoutBox was still available at the time and I remember when I was first promoted, Seahorseruler had told me it was an abuse of rights to delete ShoutBox messages. Not long into my adminship, In August 2010, I created my first policy, the [[Project:Policy/Early Unblocks|early unblock policy]]. At the same time, on average I made over 100 edits a day. With the item article creation project in full swing, there's lots to do. Combined with my edit streak, I also created the wiki's 2000th and 3000th articles. In September 2010, I took over as top spot on the wiki's Top Contributor's list with over 18000 edits. The move was also announced during the time. I initially opposed the move, but after realizing how bad Wikia's skin was, I went with the community in November.
Although it seemed like I was editing on the wiki more, I actually had a dry spell without a single edit for almost half a month from October 01, 2009 until October 17, 2009. Up to this day, I am still not sure why I didn't edit for such a long period of time, but all I knew was that I did not quit.


===Christmas Party===
After the move, I was kept busy by importing pages and files from the old wiki. I believe that through the move I may have effectively gained hundreds or one to two thousand edits. After the import process was complete, my editing streak went on the decline. At the end of the year, my [[Project:Policy/Rights and Inactivity|rights and inactivity]] and [[Project:Policy/Ban Evasions|ban evasion policies]] were passed. I also became a CPWN Staffer on December 28.
I was invited to a party for the first time by [[User:Squishy89|<span style="color:white">Squishy89</span>]] to his Christmas Party. I was hoping I was able to make it there, but I failed to show up (apparently, I was at Costco). On December 25, 2009, I gave the wiki a bad present: no edits. This also is the last time I failed to record a single edit in a day.


===New Friends===
==2011: End of Editing Era==
Although I wasn't able to make it to Squishy's Christmas Party a month ago, I received another party invitation. This time, it was by [[User:Brookelas|<span style="color:white">Brookelas</span>]] about his Prehistoric Party. I was able to make it to the party, but I did not have too much fun, as I was a non-member. I was an early-bird, as I was waiting at the [[Mine Shack|<span style="color:white">Mine Shack</span>]] 15 minutes prior to the party. I found [[User:Z max1|<span style="color:white">Z Max1</span>]] there, but my invitation for him to be my buddy was never approved. Minutes passed by before I met [[User:Hat Pop|<span style="color:white">Hat Pop</span>]]. Like I did to Z Max1, I sent her a buddy request. It was approved, and she became my first buddy since I joined the wiki (did it have to take 6 months though?).
[[File:LM96Friends2011-2012.PNG|thumb|250px|My great friends from Jul. 2011 - Jul. 2012]]
[[File:LM962011ChristmasCard.png|thumb|250px|2011 Christmas card]]
There was not a lot of happening in 2011. I really did not edit as much anymore, and [[User:Nando144|Nando144]] had joined the new wiki and has began to share the role of editor. I played my role as an admin that was managing the wiki instead. There were a not a lot of users, due to the fact we're not so high on Google rankings since the move. The wiki was not so fun, and in fact, I began thinking about my retirement. Later in the year, Penguin of the Month was pretty much dead as a result of the lack of users. Seahorseruler and I supported to remove it but in the end we only removed the "against" option on the voting page (it would later be restored), and changed some of the POTM procedures. Due to the opposition caused, I created the [[Project:Policy/Other Blocks|other blocks policy]] in order to prevent a revolution from happening.


===IRC===
In May, we had lost control of Wikia. Seahorseruler, Tigernose, and I were especially upset with the revival of the old wiki. The Great Club Penguin Wiki "War" had begun. Initially I did not take part in this fight for control. Some of our users have decided to part this wiki in order to gain rights there. Seriously, I thought this wiki was going to die. In the end, I got to keep my admin rights on the old wiki until the last few months of the year. The end result of the "war" was peace between the two wikis, agreeing not to attack each other.
In late January, I found out that this wiki has an IRC channel. I entered the channel and I met some familiar faces. At the time, I was using Google Chrome and [http://webchat.freenode.net <span style="color:white">Webchat</span>] for IRC, until someone (I can't recall who) suggested that I use ChatZilla. Because ChatZilla is only for Mozilla Firefox, I installed Mozilla Firefox and ChatZilla. A few months later, I became a permanent visitor on Hat Pop's channel and Hal Homsar Solo's channel, and I also created my own channel. Up to this day, I still use Mozilla Firefox and ChatZilla.


===Club Penguin Wiki Games===
Full of stress and the fact that I believe we need newer admins to replace us older admins, I noticed Sharkbate was not using his rights and was hardly editing. I put him up for demotion in November and though the vote was tight (a -1, with all bureaucrats opposing), I voluntarily resigned on November 19 and retired. I did make occasional appearances on the wiki for the remainder of the year. In fact, I actually got used to not being on the wiki. Nando144, the user I recommended as a replacement admin, took over my original spot as administrator. By Christmas, I had full contact with the wiki again.
In late February 2010, after canceling the Hat Parade I was organizing for March 9<sup>th</sup>, I reorganized another party similar to the Olympics, called the Club Penguin Wiki Games. Although the sign-up list looked optimistic, only four people showed up on March 11<sup>th</sup> (including myself). What motivated me to start this is the fact that I live in the city of the XXI Winter Olympiad (Vancouver). The Club Penguin Wiki Games are still running up to this day, although I have retired from it.


==Pre-admin Era (February 15, 2010 - May 30, 2010)==
==2012: The Social Years Begin==
===Back to LordMaster96===
[[File:LM96Friends2012-2013.PNG|thumb|250px|right|Friends July 2012 - July 2013.]]
After learning how to use the undo button, I realized I could have simply reverted the poll stub. I undid that, and because it worked, I went back to User:LordMaster96, although I was asked "Why did you switch users?". Following the advice, I just simply stuck with the account I have right now.
[[File:LM962012ChristmasCard.png|thumb|250px|2012 Christmas card]]
Early in the year, I was offered my rights back. I refused to accept it, stating I was still on retirement, but when I was offered my admin rights back for a second time, I accepted. Unlike other admins who have come back, I did not require a second RFA. Soon after, I also got my staff rights back. Later in the year, it became evident that I was one of the valuable admins. I became probably the most serious admin to take action should the old wiki have done something to "steal", whether it's plagiarism or taking our ideas. In June, I managed the wiki's Twitter account in an effort to attract more users. My social era has begun. Earlier in the year, CP Party Reviews were created. Now, I manage the wiki's Twitter and the Logo submissions. The wiki forum is also being promoted. I'm also involved with the wiki's new partnership system. In July, when the old wiki created their Twitter account, we all became outraged with all this "copy" nonsense. I founded the CPWNAF/Swastika Party as a result to defend our wiki. It's almost as if a Second CPW War was going to break out (in some ways it did). It never got far as the only significant action taken was requesting the removal of all copied ideas, which never happened. On the alternative day of my wiki-birthday, a merger was proposed, which made us all excited. However, even 24 hours later, it turned into a large scale war between the two wikis. In early August, peace came and the deal was signed. Not a lot of users came but we got quite a few new users. I also implemented a new customized Vector skin for the wiki (got quite a bit of criticism though, but meh). Me and HF also played a major role in getting the wiki its first partner in history.


===Edit-bomb Days===
After the merge and partnership program began failing, I realized there was little hope for success on this wiki. On September 10, I decided to randomly disappear and on September 11, I retired for the second (and supposedly final time, until I came back a month later). I continued talking to Hat Pop before making a public appearance as LordMaster96 once again. I later decided to return until the wiki is straightened out. I did not think I would ever regain rights back.
Prior to becoming an admin, I used to have a edit number set as a goal per day. The original goal was 20 edits a day, until I realize I keep getting over 50, so I had it changed to 50 edits a day. Since that goal was set, I have had over 50 edits a day for a streak of 42 days before it came to a halt with a day with under 30 edits. Although that was one day, my edit numbers kept rising and I also set a personal best of over 400 edits on May 5<sup>th</sup>. I have not been able to get close to that number since.


===Teamwork===
I was back before the calendar year came to an end and also ended up running the first CPW Awards in four years. I also ended up winning three awards; something I didn't expect after retiring two times in two years.  
On April 24, 2010, after spotting an archive tag on a pin article, I asked Hat Pop on IRC to see if it was absolutely necessary. It turned out we could put the tags on every pin article, so we decided that I would put the archive tags on the pins starting from the Shamrock Pin, and Hat Pop would start from the Frog Pin. Hat Pop said that eventually result in an edit conflict. Well... she got tired of it before the conflict even happened! Because there are a lot of pins, it gave me around 100 edits.


==Newest Administrator Era (May 30, 2010 - September 22, 2010)==
==2013: Third Term==
===Nomination===
Of all my years on the wiki, this year is the least active in my Club Penguin life. Although I regained my adminship in February, I was not the same person as I was in previous years with a busy life. In March, I quit playing Club Penguin actively (I now play League of Legends). It was not until June that I would begin making regular appearances again. Over the summer I spent more time on the wiki as once the school year comes around, I would be less active. I decided we needed to schedule a council meeting, and so we did. The beginning of it went well but as we progressed, the number of users that took part diminished. I expected my life to be busy so I decided to have Wolfgangs run the event. Unfortunately we rarely had a chance to talk on IRC so I ended up having to coordinate another Awards ceremony.
My admin days started in mid-May 2010 with a nomination poll after several admins have stepped down. Along with several other users, I was a candidate to be nominated. I already had a feeling I would be an admin when [[User:Seahorseruler|<span style="color:white">Seahorseruler</span>]] said to me on IRC, "LordMaster96, you have a very high chance of being nominated to be an admin in the next 72 hours". I was stunned. I never knew I would have qualified to be an admin. When the nomination vote started, I thought it would be a bumpy ride until I reached my goal, but it was the opposite. I won the RFA by a margin of 19:0 (For:Against), and I was promoted on May 30, 2010.


As a first-time admin, I was instructed to do several things, such as not messing around with the wiki's skin as it could bring down the whole wiki. I also found out that day that if I were to delete a single message on the Shout Box, it would be an instant demotion. Up to this day, I have improved a lot since my promotion, and looking back since I first joined, it actually makes me think of myself as a noob back then.
Late in the year, I took back controls on the Club Penguin Wiki Twitter account. The last two months are loaded with events - I helped Penstubal manage the first official Club Penguin Wiki Games and handed the reins of social events to fellow admin Hat Pop. Although we are in quite a deep hole in terms of editing, it is my next goal to get users to start editing again. The end of the year ends with me regaining a bit of my editing form. I became the first user on this wiki to reach the 35000 edit mark. In the CPW Awards that I hosted, I managed to win four of the five awards I was nominated for. Things are looking good compared to the start of this year.


===1<sup>st</sup> Anniversary===
==2014: The End==
Wow... I've been on Wikia for a year already? Time seems to have gone by so fast. It seemed like it was only yesterday that I met Hat Pop. Well, my first anniversary turned out it wasn't an anniversary for myself. From what I found out, today is also [[User:Ced1214|<span style="color:white">Ced1214</span>]]'s 1st anniversary for being on IRC, and also, today's edition of the [[Club Penguin Times|<span style="color:white">Club Penguin Times</span>]] is the 250<sup>th</sup> edition. Since I made my first edit at 9:52 PM PDT, I hoped that I will have 11,499 edits by that time so I can revert my userpage to its first original version. The plan worked out, but at the revert, I left a message, and I wrote 14,499 edits instead of 11,499 (I wished)!
[[File:LM962014ChristmasCard.png|thumb|250px|2014 Christmas card]]
2014 is a special year in my life. It is a year when I become an adult (yes, this means I can vote now). It is also a year when I graduate from high school and move on to post-secondary studies. To me, time is now a very valuable asset. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to go on the wiki on a regular basis. In April 2014, I no longer was the wiki's top contributor. I also needed to take more breaks from the wiki to deal with issues in real life, especially school. In June, I published my final issue of ''The Berg'' and in August, I made it clear that it was simply, "the end" of five active years on the wiki.


===Early Unblocking Policy===
==Nomination History==
After several people came up to me asking that they'd be unblocked early, I created the [[Club Penguin Wiki:Policy/Early Unblocks|<span style="color:white">Early Unblocking Policy</span>]] shortly after my 1<sup>st</sup> anniversary on Wikia. I didn't expect the policy draft would pass, as it was my first policy and that it seemed useless, but it turns out it was official in 19 and a half hours.

With the introduction of the "To-do list" in August 2010, my edits went skyrocketing once again. This time, it wasn't a 50 edits/day streak. Instead, it was 100 edits/day. Upon pasting my award for 13000 edits, I left a note saying "Life needed.".

Up to this day, I still don't think this should've happened on the afternoon of September 15, 2010. I caused IRC drama, which resulted a lot of hate, and a possible war. Seeing that I may be completely responsible, I was thinking for the first time if I should just resign as administrator, but seeing that the wiki will be "down" with only four admins, I'll just keep doing my job. I am still shocked that I managed to cause such chaos, even if Hat Pop has tried to cheer me up.

To end this era, chaos fell over my stupid talk page. Every time something bad happens with me in it, I am probably the one to blame. As for a talk page with two messages before archive, I should've just been patient. Being a stricter admin probably means I'm gaining experience. By the way, my talk page has a message that notifies users that they will be facing blocks if they vandalize or spam my user talk (all because of a stupid incident that I think I may have lost a friend in). This also marked the first time I swore on this wiki:

At the end of September, I heard that the wiki will have a chance of leaving Wikia. Later on, it was confirmed when it was announced that November 3 will be the official implementation of Oasis. When the new wiki was operational, my edit numbers started dropping, and I started contributing to the new wiki with article imports. I have also kept a list of users, seeing that I may be a checkuser one day. In early October, I have started to actively edit here once again, as the new wiki is awaiting donations for a new host. The trend from this point is unclear, as we do not know how many users will actually donate. For one thing is certain: as unofficially as a top contributor and 650 edits away from being an official one, I know that I have done a big part in the Wikia Club Penguin Wiki by doing my part as an administrator, reverting vandalism, creating over 450 pages and by giving out reminders, tips, etc. My job here is not over... not just yet.

Surprisingly, I learned that Staffan15's bot was created on the same day in UTC time one year ago.

You may be interested in reading about my history, and I've been keeping record of it since I joined, so here is my incredibly biased point of view on the wiki's historical events!

2009: Just the Beginning

I joined Club Penguin on July 8, 2009. A few weeks later, I joined the wiki, making me one of the quickest penguins to join the site since joining Club Penguin. My wiki-birthday is disputed. At the time I joined, it was July 29, 2009, although it was now July 30, 2009 in almost every other time zone. To this day, I consider July 30 as my official wiki-birthday.

2011: End of Editing Era

My great friends from Jul. 2011 - Jul. 2012

There was not a lot of happening in 2011. I really did not edit as much anymore, and Nando144 had joined the new wiki and has began to share the role of editor. I played my role as an admin that was managing the wiki instead. There were a not a lot of users, due to the fact we're not so high on Google rankings since the move.

Nando144, the user I recommended as a replacement admin, took over my original spot as administrator. By Christmas, I had full contact with the wiki again.

2012: The Social Years Begin

Friends July 2012 - July 2013.
2012 Christmas card

Early in the year, I was offered my rights back. I refused to accept it, stating I was still on retirement, but when I was offered my admin rights back for a second time, I accepted. Unlike other admins who have come back, I did not require a second RFA. Soon after, I also got my staff rights back. Later in the year, it became evident that I was one of the valuable admins. I became probably the most serious admin to take action should the old wiki have done something to "steal", whether it's plagiarism or taking our ideas. In June, I managed the wiki's Twitter account in an effort to attract more users. My social era has begun. Earlier in the year, CP Party Reviews were created. Now, I manage the wiki's Twitter and the Logo submissions. The wiki forum is also being promoted. I'm also involved with the wiki's new partnership system. In July, when the old wiki created their Twitter account, we all became outraged with all this "copy" nonsense. I founded the CPWNAF/Swastika Party as a result to defend our wiki. It's almost as if a Second CPW War was going to break out (in some ways it did). It never got far as the only significant action taken was requesting the removal of all copied ideas, which never happened. On the alternative day of my wiki-birthday, a merger was proposed, which made us all excited. However, even 24 hours later, it turned into a large scale war between the two wikis. In early August, peace came and the deal was signed. Not a lot of users came but we got quite a few new users. I also implemented a new customized Vector skin for the wiki (got quite a bit of criticism though, but meh). Me and HF also played a major role in getting the wiki its first partner in history.

After the merge and partnership program began failing, I realized there was little hope for success on this wiki. On September 10, I decided to randomly disappear and on September 11, I retired for the second (and supposedly final time, until I came back a month later). I continued talking to Hat Pop before making a public appearance as LordMaster96 once again. I later decided to return until the wiki is straightened out. I did not think I would ever regain rights back.

I was back before the calendar year came to an end and also ended up running the first CPW Awards in four years. I also ended up winning three awards; something I didn't expect after retiring two times in two years.

2013: Third Term

Of all my years on the wiki, this year is the least active in my Club Penguin life. Although I regained my adminship in February, I was not the same person as I was in previous years with a busy life. In March, I quit playing Club Penguin actively (I now play League of Legends). It was not until June that I would begin making regular appearances again. Over the summer I spent more time on the wiki as once the school year comes around, I would be less active. I decided we needed to schedule a council meeting, and so we did. The beginning of it went well but as we progressed, the number of users that took part diminished. I expected my life to be busy so I decided to have Wolfgangs run the event. Unfortunately we rarely had a chance to talk on IRC so I ended up having to coordinate another Awards ceremony.

Late in the year, I took back controls on the Club Penguin Wiki Twitter account. The last two months are loaded with events - I helped Penstubal manage the first official Club Penguin Wiki Games and handed the reins of social events to fellow admin Hat Pop. Although we are in quite a deep hole in terms of editing, it is my next goal to get users to start editing again. The end of the year ends with me regaining a bit of my editing form. I became the first user on this wiki to reach the 35000 edit mark. In the CPW Awards that I hosted, I managed to win four of the five awards I was nominated for. Things are looking good compared to the start of this year.

2014: The End

2014 Christmas card

2014 is a special year in my life. It is a year when I become an adult (yes, this means I can vote now). It is also a year when I graduate from high school and move on to post-secondary studies. To me, time is now a very valuable asset. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to go on the wiki on a regular basis. In April 2014, I no longer was the wiki's top contributor. I also needed to take more breaks from the wiki to deal with issues in real life, especially school. In June, I published my final issue of The Berg and in August, I made it clear that it was simply, "the end" of five active years on the wiki.
