User blog:Colgatecity/Anniversary of June 18th Attacks.

Hey users,

For three months after the event, this wiki was literally a plague. One of the biggest events of this wiki (note: then called a "wikia") occured on June 18th 2011, the day I became an admin. Vandalism occured from famed vandal leader Twigs180. The vandalism included 20ish IPS, and over 10 accounts. The "famous" part of this situation was the overreaction that followed for over three months. This was instability, and was even mentioned on several internet shock sites (ED, etc.) -- which quoted: "click this link to vandalize the wiki and ensue lolz", the quote was however removed in September.

I hope that we all learn from June 18th attacks. To some of you summer 2011 folk, remember the ugly themes? Hah! They'd change weekly, and included a puke green theme, etc. I can divide this wiki into five sections; and "summer 2011" would fall under the "period of instabilitiy and uncertainty", which started on June 18th. Currently, we are in the "period of popularity". This theme -- the one we have now -- is here to stay for a long time, excluding the odd April Fools' joke provided by Dronian. The instability was because of the June 18th [Vandal] Attacks. I hope everyone learns from this blog, and from past blogs after the event.

To keep this blog small -- we've improved from then. Current updates I'm hoping to do in the future include bringing back older users, by tracking down their Roblox usernames, Youtube account names, even emails, and sending them a message about how this wiki has greatly improved. I'm also looking into creating a Community Council, and possibly an RfA system which will help users gain mod rights more fairly.

I'm hoping that by June 18th 2012, our wiki has improved to be better then the official Roblox wiki. To help add to the scripting section, I'll get old 2010 scripters from MrDoomBringer's scripting contest on this wiki. To help add to other categories, etc, I'll try to track down some good editors from the Summer of 2011.

Keep it coming, Roblox Wiki,
