We are all wiki editors. Wikians, some say. But we must not forget the old days. Some call them worse, some call them "the good days". It is not our place to judge. However, we must remember them. Please do not edit this page without the consent of an admin. If you have an idea for an addition to the page or would like to edit it yourself, please contact an Administrator or Captain Ned Edgewalker.

Notable Pages:

Notable Events:

Pirates Forumsends partnership with the wiki - On April 2nd, 2016, longtime partner and fellow Pirates Online site abruptly ended its relationship with the Gamers Fanon Wiki. Site owner and administrator Davy Darkrage cited the wiki's immaturity and offensive content as the reason for the partnership being broken. This event led to the chat strike system being brought back, chat rule modifications and banned swearing on roleplay blogs.
Attempted demotion of G-man. - On May 4th, 2016, Captain Ned Edgewalker wrote a request to demote Wiki President G-man from his position. The vote was rejected at first due to the return of older users, leading to new Voter Eligibility Rules. Following the passing of this new rule, G-man himself held a second demotion vote, which ended in a tie.

Notable Events:

Creation of the Gamers Bastion Wiki - Early in 2017, Captain Ned Edgewalker and Nults McKagan created a wiki of their own for various reasons and called it the "Gamers Bastion Wiki". The creation of the wiki was revealed to GFW users on August 7th, 2017, and was received extremely poorly by wiki users. This reception was (understandably) made worse by the two blogs written by Ned (see: Blog & The Good Blog), which were heavily criticized for both being not serious enough and not explaining enough. A proper explanation was eventually written by Ned months later, and can be seen here. The creation and revelation of GBW is ultimately what sparked the community's move to Discord in September of 2017.
Creation of the official Gamers Fanon Wiki Discord - On September 4th, 2017, Nults McKagan proposed the creation of an official GFW discord to the Seven Seas Court. Some users, most notably WaglingtonŒ, opposed this with the belief that moving from wiki chat to Discord would kill off wiki activity. Nevertheless, the SSC vote ended in a 2-2 tie and the vote moved to a community vote. The community vote passed easily by a margin of 5-1, and on September 12th, 2017, the move was made official when the Discord was opened to all wiki users.
