Year in Review
This is the year everything changed. With vandal attacks and abuse of user rights resulting in strict measures by Wikia staff, the wiki was deemed unable to manage itself by powers above and drama crippled the site. The slow and steady decline of the webmaster system reached its peak as TurtleShroom resigned from power, appointing Hat Pop as successor. This did not last long, as the system was soon abolished and democratic reforms placed. Several new projects like blogs were added.
