User blog:MarquessMark/A trip through wiki nostalgia

Lemme' rememba'vrytin' I knew 'bout when I view'dis Wiki as a child non-user:

(I MAY NOT SAY THE USERS NAMES CORRECTEMUNDO OUT OF BAD MEMORY)

I remember the users like Master3530, TheGollddMAN, Tecku, Milesprower2, Brainulator9, PnFforever, Uselessguy, Wintermelon43, Cheetah-shooter, Drek'TharSuperSword, Buzzy Buzz, Lily8763cp, Hoanganhminh etc.

I remember how nearly every user gave so much scat to every plant they disliked. And how they idolized the plant Winter Melon like a god.

I remember viewing their discussions of PvZ2 as it slowly unfolded; being teens/(young) adults, they knew exactly why they hated the updates and EA, while I, a youth, was left in the dust. They gave spit to plants they disliked, spit to zombies they disliked, and kicked off the premium choices they had to be put through, hacking just to get them. They complained continuously on the impossible level design, "useless" plants and "overpowered" zombies.

I remember TheGollddMan being the worst offender of trashing the game. I loved EVERY plant and to see them trash so many, even make a blacklist blog, broke my heart. Many others followed next and I wished malice upon them and the others in my immature mind. PnFforever was the only person who was like a good teacher to all plants i.e. loved them all, and I rooted for them whenever they spoke out for the goodness of all plants. I wished to see The GollddMAN squirm once but their stubborn skepticism kept them from conceding to PnFforever.

I remember Brainulator9 as the big guy who hated certain plants. He was one of the most powerful people on the wiki and spoke for the wikis growth. I still hated him for being one of the most brutally honest reviewers.

I remember Milesprower2 and Tecku posting their opinions on the world updates, bluntly reviewing everything that came into play, with the occasional venting/proposals of ideas. I sort of didn't respect their opinions and those opinions haunt me now.

I remember a user who made a blog post on what EA did, applying their cash-money scheme to every game, and another blogger who continuously provided ideas for worlds, including a 40s gangster world, a Far Far Future and a mutant's wasteland.

I remember Carp The Fish getting continuously tossed around the blame game and troubles, getting blocked and unblocked. I felt bad for them and had none but hope they would see the light of day as a good user, until this wiki banned and globally disabled them.

I remember a user named something like "pinkgirl" being such an innocent cinnamon roll in my view, being a good staff. I was disturbed once, though, when they asked once in the forum to ban the word "retard".

I remember Uselessguy's growth on the wiki, from an adorkable innocent cinnamon roll whose theme was uselessness, until they became and admin and proposed  revolutionizing changes on the wiki, getting rid of fun (in my view defined as many and diverse) things. People gave them support or scat for it and I did too for the latter, until it died down and Uselessguy gave a simple angry message on their own wall blaming everyone for bringing the wiki down.

I remember Cheetah-shooter sharing some oriental art of the plants/zombies humanised. I think of him as an artist now.

I remember the forum holding a section for reporting certain users to be banned. I treated it as a sheriff's office and loved seeing most users get freed or imprisoned as they deserved.

I remember games like steal the cereal/cookie on the games forum where people would continuously try to figure out how to get the item while it was continuously denied for various reasons. Nobody figured out how to steal the cereal and someone proposed to call MysteryKing "Mystery queen" until they revealed how to get the cookie. I also remember "The Little Peashooter" where people could continue the story based on the most popular poll choice. It never finished and I was sad.

I remember the short lived fan content forum.

I remember the forum for proposals of changes, like extending the discussions from 300 to 500 messages, allowing custom templates and outlawing role-playing. I was internally supporting the latter two because 1. I like "fun" things as I defined them; 2. I saw the role-playing comments as mocking/spitting on the plants/zombies for continuously showing the negative side of them.

I remember how chomper became an artifact as toadstool was introduced, and hating toadstool for it ever since, being the first plant I recognise as a replacing plant.

I remember TheHandsomePlant's sexy icon.

But overall? This Wiki gives me bad memories due to the users trashing plants I found underrated (the "useless" plants) or zombies I found cool, the game never being good and the constant clashes on forums, discussions and blog posts.

You can't actually punish me now for what my mind thought, you know, aforementioned and modern users, because that was all when I was a child and now the more mature Mark laughs and blows mist into the cold air as he reminisces. I still hold some negativity towards the users like TheGollddMAN but it's not so big now. Plus, this blog doesn't actually defy the Rules. :P. I had fun reminiscing. This will hopefully be one of the last times I have to see this Wiki. I believe no-one can give me scat/punishment for this and I feel proud for writing this hopefully only ever blog I write here.

MarquessMark, out.
