Once, there was a wiki. There was only one user in it - the founder. Two years ago, around the same time the wiki was created, a user called Pookiefan joined.

This wiki was pretty unpopular. Exactly one year ago, as in October 2013, the wiki grew big. Of course, there wasn't that many users, but enough for a happy community.

By December 2013, more users joined and this wiki turned into a small family. There were adequate roleplays, everyone was each other's friend, there was no jealousy or anger or courts a way to know who was mature or not, because it was never necessary. These were all the qualities Pookiefan brought. The wiki was fantastic.

But, it all changed when Pookiefan left.

The wiki was already sad. It got worse when one of the worst fights began - Liolen and Unknown's.

It started out as an annoyance. No users knew about it. Like an untreated disease, it grew worse and worse until all hell broke loose.

There were many small fights leading up to the main one. Other users got dragged into it. Sides were chosen and friendships lost. Many users quit. Liolen was driven to the verge of suicide, not once, not twice, but three times.

After a month or two, this was resolved. Liolen and Unknown aren't really friends now, but they're cool with each other.

As the wiki was slowly cooling down from the first Wiki War, the first and worst vandal came to pay a visit.

Have you heard of BannanaSplit? This person was much worse. Mass vandalism, death threats, stalking and fear came into the wiki. Thankfully, he left fast, but not before causing damage so bad that this wiki is still not completely repaired.

It seems to me that this was the only time the wiki had a chance to recover. For, a user you may all know called Nugget joined.

No one could compare to Pookiefan, but Nugget was a close enough second. The wiki rejoiced, and eventually, Nugget was promoted to admin.

But jealousy struck.

One user in particular didn't like the fact that Nugget was promoted to admin and, in their words, how everyone was treating her like the queen of the wiki.

It was Liolen-and-Unknown all over again. People turned against this user and people were heartbroken. A new addition to Wiki Wars was that at that very moment, the second-greatest vandal known as BannanaSplit arrived.

It wasn't as bad as what the worst vandal did, but BannanaSplit stayed for a long time, like a month or two. He tore this wiki apart bit by bit. Worse things I cannot mention here happened until he finally left.

People tried their best to fix the wiki, but it was never the same again.

Many conflicts started soon after. I won't name them, but all of them combined would be much more disastrous than BannanaSplit's doings.

And, now, I ask myself, what happened to the amazing wiki? What happened to the incredible people in 2013? What happened that changed everyone? Is it Pookiefan's leave that started all this? I don't know any of these answers, but I do know one thing: nothing will ever be the same again.

Looking back at all the vandalism and wars, they're so stupid. Even ones that are storming at this very moment are so dumb. The vandalisms were because the vandal hated pookies. This wiki isn't even for pookies anymore, rather it's just a community. And the wars? No offence to those who had these wars, and I even admit that my ones were a pretty dumb cause, but these wars are so pathetic! Like, if you think someone is more famous than you, shut up. At least you're given attention at all. If someone says something mean to you that one time, stop exaggerating about it, because you're the villain since you make such a big deal. Suicide threats? What are you, five? Because I imagine that only five-year-olds would be hurt that much for petty insults.

In conclusion, I really miss the old days. I miss them too, but now, when I hear you say this, I have to say that I feel relieved that there's someone else who thinks like me. Sometimes, before sleeping, I think about those facts you mentioned and think "What If?", like in the Marvel Comics. "What If... Pookiefan had stayed?" or "What If... Bannanasplit had never come?" and, most importantly, "What If... the Liolen-Unknown War never happened?".

And also, I have one thing to say...

Confession Time:

You've mentioned the Liolen-Unknown war, and everyone, including you, thinks that it was one of those two who started it, but no one knows the REAL user that started it...

It was ME. You didn't start it, it was pookielover564 Yes, I did. The Pookielover Incident was WAY before I started it. I insulted Liolen's opinions and you stepped up for me, but it ended up in a war.
