User blog:Lucasthewikiguy13/The Dark Age we are heading into and why/Loud House Wiki History

A little disclaimer first: If you read the title of this blog post I heavily suggest you this and read it as this is possibly going to be one of the most serious blogs I ever post and one of the most serious Loud House Wiki blogs in general. I am going to make a blog containing all the issues, "or at least most of the issues," you guys know and we all finally need to address them. So, I hope if you do click this blog post read it all the way through. Anyway, on to my actually blog.





Hey guys it's your friend Lucas here, "and hopefully I am a friend to you or at very least someone you hold positive reception on," and today I am feeling serious. This kind of serious is something we need to talk about because after what has happened this past couple of months, to almost a year, it's time someone finally talked about it all in one blog. At first it was easy to avoid, but it begun to get into most of us under our skins, and then after this, "significant," month on the wiki, I think it's time we all finally realized what's about to happen.





'''The Loud House wiki is about to head towards a dark age. '''



Now this issue is something that smells of controversary. The reasoning of this is some people have already said we've been in a dark age the last couple of months and are still in it, or people just making fun of it. Though I think that about now is when we are truly about to strike the dark age. However, it's best if we look at some significant events that occurred throughout the last year and a half of the wiki. We shall look through the people, episodes, and real-life events that have shaped the wiki to what it currently is.

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">But first we should put down the different eras of the wiki.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Beginning Era: June 2014 - May 2016 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Influential/Experimental Era: May 2016 - July 2016 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Golden Era: July 2016 - January 2017 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Silver Era: January 2017 - April 2017 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Bronze Era: April 2017 - September 2017 <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Fall Era: September 2017 - Today <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">We can also divide the Fall era into a  Earlier Fall  and  Latter Fall  era. The moment that separates these is the dates of October 17th - October 19th (Or in other words the firing of Chris Savino)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now that we have put down the areas, we can get down to talking of each area so that we can understand on why we are about to enter a dark age soon.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Finally in case you don't agree on these eras that's fine, I just need something like a chapter book to divide this all up. Anyway let's begin.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:normal;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Beginning Era: June 2014 - May 2016 <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now this might surprise a few people but the wiki has been here since mid-2014. The wiki begun on June 6, 2014 by a user called, " AbercrombieFizzwidget ." Now a founder is usually someone who would do there best to make this wiki the best it can be with the information provided.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, that was not that case.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now it is not since it was just a pilot, a few wikis have been made despite the fact there is just a pilot and they are alright for what they are. But  AbercrombieFizzwidget  didn't care for the pilot, he just made the wiki for future users. He even says on his small user-page that someone can adopt the wiki if they want.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">There were a few admins who served their positions for little time such as  DjSponge  and  Heeha . But they were inactive and their powers were stripped. However, the wiki found a fine adopter by the name of, " Crossovers ," who joined the wiki in March of 2015 and as far as my knowledge expends, he is currently the oldest residing resident of the wiki, “or at least the most important person who stayed here the longest.” You also had a new admin come in soon after that called BouncingParatroopa

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for other moments that happened during this time, there isn’t much else. Remember during this time the Loud House was still being made and had yet to release an episode. However, during this time is when a user by the name of DandyAndy1989 joined the wiki. You might or might not know this but Dandy is one of the most important people to talk about in the history of the wiki. This is obvious with Dandy having over 12,500 edits during their time on the wiki. In other words, Dandy would help inspire the future admins of the wiki and new users into what the wiki is about. WikiMu is also someone else of importance to talk about, as even though Mu hasn’t done much as Dandy, Mu is someone of importance in inspiring the wiki as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, the Beginning Era would soon end when the Loud House officially premiered on May 2nd, 2016, and so came in some new people.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Influential/Experimental Era: May 2016 – July 2016 <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">This era is possibly one of the most important eras in the wiki, “heck it is probably the most important era people-wise.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">In May of 2016 when this era begun we had some of the most well-known users join us. Now I don’t want to list them all since this would turn this blog into a person listing. But in short some of the most well-known and important people on the wiki such as AnimationFan15, TMNT1987Dude, Veenster7, and FirstDrellSpectre joined during this time. These users would help define the wiki into what it would become now. A popular wiki where people can hang out with. While this part of the wiki may not be talked about nowadays it surely was this back in the day.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">A crew for the wiki would soon be formed during this and the Golden Age, and that crew currently manages this wiki. I don’t want to name the crew currently as it changed before and will still in the future, but just know without the crew the wiki wouldn’t be as polished and fun as it is now.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">And by the month of July everything on the wiki was in place and everyone was ready for a new era. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Golden Era: July 2016 – January 2017 <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">In my opinion the moment that started the Golden Era was probably the first ever fanfiction on the wiki, “Coach Lynn,” by FirstDrellSpectre. Thanks for doing that man. Anyways ever since he did that a lot of people, “including myself,” have done fanfictions that have brought us together, “though a few did break us apart a little.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyways, this Golden Era I pretty much defined as the funniest time for a lot of people. This is since not many problems really affected us. I mean sure we had some problems here and there but it was all still very good.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Users begin to grow even closer with the Loud Characters that they often discussed about them. What does this have to do with the history of the wiki? Well people like ThomperFan would go on to make OC FanFictions, or stories that put them into it. Some people like the idea, other people hate the idea, but I’m fine with it I guess.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, what did end the Golden Age? Well in my opinion users and episodes didn’t affect it, I just think it was the year. We had entered a new year and then came some new users and episodes, “both had good things, then some bad things.” But the year of 2017 would certainly be darker than the previous year.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Silver Era: January 2017 – April 2017 <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now before we go on let me just say, the Silver Era was NOT NECCESSARY a bad era. It wasn’t as good as the Golden Era but still good enough, “besides I came during this time so that would horrify me that if I came in during a dark time.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Look, during this times things still kinda went smooth for the wiki as the users were still as far as I knew got along and everyone still felt fine.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now there wasn’t really anything interesting during this time except for a few things, two of which were the most infamous Loud House episodes of all time, “Brawl in the Family and No Such Luck.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now when they first came out the wiki didn’t start to feel apart completely. However, unknown to many users, the constant talking of those episodes would eventually make them realize it had gotten out of hand.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I consider April the end of the Silver Era cause by this point the seeds of the wiki heading towards the dark age have been planted.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Bronze Era: April 2017 – September 2017 <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well my fellow users we have entered an era where things have finally started to heat up.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Let’s talk about some episodes of the Loud House first. Well Brawl in the Family and No Such Luck are still gaining lots of controversary. Ronnie Anne moved away from Royal Woods and some users didn’t like this. Luna was revealed to be bisexual and some people didn’t like it. And then we got users.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now around this time two major events started for users that still goes on today and its controversial. Those two things are those users who got banned and those users who leave willingly, and this is a BAD issue.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now we all probably know controversial users. You have Gmwbmw44, someone who was obsessed with Lisa which got her banned. SallyBrownIsAwesome420, someone who tried to take users down and got banned. And people recently as Reallyharduser, someone who trolled people and broke rules.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">But what’s sadder is those who start to leave. I have traced the first major person to leave is THELOUDHOUSEFANATIC who left on July 27, 2017, saying that he couldn’t write fanfics anymore and decided to leave. And he has not returned since.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyways let’s get into the Fall Era since during this Fall, THINGS CHANGED DRAMASTICALLY.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Fall Era: September 2017 – Present <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Well the only way to describe this era is sadness and controversial.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">The episode Not a Loud came out and I thought it was fine. I know I said once about the ending but I love presidents so I guess I can give it that. But this episode along with the arguments go the comment section banned.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">More people like my friend MuppetSpot left the wiki and FirstDrellSpectre got banned. AndrewBrauer and YoshiRocker13 both practically yet the wiki due to the things that surrounded them. Even I during this time begin to feel a bit depressed. But then came October 17th-October 19th.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">It was revealed Chris Savino sexually assaulted women which horrified the wiki and got him fired from the Loud House. This caused more arguments and people begun to divide a little more.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">As of Now…  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">And that’s where we are today basically. People got banned, People left, episodes with controversary, fanfictions with controversary, the Loud House changing due to it’s creator getting fired. It has all changed. That is why I believe we are heading to a dark age or are possibly already in one despite there still being a few good users left out there. And there is one question to ask most importantly…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">What caused the Loud House wiki to head towards the dark age? '''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">  

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Was it the fighting between users? Was it the users who got banned at fault here? Was it episodes like Brawl in the Family, No Such Luck, and Not a Loud making people criticize the show? Was it the fanfictions? Was it a feud between certain people that annoyed others? Was it new users coming to the wiki? What was it?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Well it’s a hard answer, but I think the best one to say and to please everyone would have to be a combination of them all. Brawl in the Family and No Such Luck basically planted the seeds. Then fanfictions liked, “The Boy who cried Idiot,” and, “Whipped,” begun to make people mad at fanfictions except for exceptions. Then new users begin making stories that put themselves in it which made people sick of that trend. Then trolls would cause more fights. Discussions about mixed episodes would turn violent. The obsessions of some users. The comments being banned. And practically everything else all-together caused this.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Do we have ourselves to blame? Well the obvious choice would be yes but some users are innocent and shouldn’t be blamed upon, but I won’t say who as that might get controversial based on my own opinion.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Can we stop from entering the soon dark age and if we are already in it get out? Well…sadly no. It’s possible but difficult. Remember we lost some users already due to them being banned or them leaving by their own accounts, and it’s just sad to see this happening to a once amazing wiki.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">This wiki as of now is not half that it once was and it’s clearly showing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Not just that but we also got these new users who joined the past month. Now I’m not saying they are bad, but they just don’t feel like the ones that can take the place of old users and when older users such as AnimationFan15 or Veenster7 leave. These new users have potential and a couple can clearly show but it doesn’t look good.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0in;">Final Thoughts <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">I would like to thank ThomperFan, MuppetSpot, and DandyAndy1989 who gave me advice. I tried to ask AnimationFan15, TMNTDude1987, and Veenster7 what they thought but they haven’t replied back to me and I decided to finish the last of this blog by myself.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Anyways about me on whether or no what will happen next. Well that’s for the future to decide. Maybe the Loud House Wiki will improve, or it could just go downhill still as it has.

<p class="MsoNormal">Also, in case I offended one of you, I apologize. I don't know how but just know if I did I apologize for my actions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Though, thanks for hearing my thoughts everyone since I know I may not be the most serious or most adored user on here but I care for you all and this wiki. But, what do you think? Let’s get the biggest discussion yet as this is a serious issue for the fate of the wiki. If we all can finally get through these problems quickly we can stop ourselves from getting into a dark age or getting out of it. But that choice is for you to decide.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif">Anyway that’s all, that’s for listening to me everyone, you've all been a great audience to me, and I will see you all later.
