User blog comment:Guradian1098/Whatever Happened to Ed, the Great?/@comment-224939-20110701145104

Ah, youngsters nowadays. Come and sit around me and I will tell you the tale of the founding father's of the Ed, Edd n Eddy Wiki and it's early days.

Back in my day (my day being July of 2008) this wiki had turned into a dump ever since the founding father's of Ed the Great, Cahsman286, and Max2 decided to abandon ship. Articles were short, stubby, had terrible grammar, and consisted of questionable info. Not only that but nonsensical unrelated articles were free to roam the site. These unrelated articles usually talked about how cool Pokemon was or how this wiki "suxxorz". The only thing separating the wiki from a virtual playground for vandals was a small group of users dedicated to cleaning up the wiki. That's where I came in.

I'm not sure how I first heard about the wiki, perhaps I found a link to it via the fascist Wikipedia article on the trio, but when I arrived I said to myself "Wow, an entire Wikipedia-like website dedicated to the Eds! This is great!" I browsed a few articles but found that they were quite lacking in comprehension. I eventually found my way to The Retro Van article where I made my first edit stating that the van had "flame decals all over it". From there I went on a cleaning spree, fixing up and adding to every article I could get my hands on. Another user worth noting was user Jr.2k8 who, at the same time, also decided to clean up the wiki.

Contrary to popular belief I was not one of the founding father's of the wiki nor did I request for adminship. After a while of making constructive edits one of the main admins of Central Wikia took notice and came to us with a proposition: create a welcome template for new users for a chance to become the new admins of the wiki.

I got right to making the new template and presented it to the nice lady. Soon enough, both Jr.2k8 and I had adopted the wiki and became the new admins where the wiki entered its Pax Romana (to summarize: its golden year). Pages were added, cleaned up, and were written to a point where one could have a comprehensive grasp of the topic at hand after reading it.

Though many admins have come and gone since the wiki's creation, I have remained. Every day for the past three years I have checked up on the wiki, scanning the Recent Changes pages to make sure that everything was running smoothly. Not once have I taken a break from my daily routine. Just because I haven't made an edit on a day doesn't mean I haven't checked up on the wiki. For those of you wondering how I became an admin: Dedication

So, I guess the answer to "Whatever happened to Ed he Great" is that he simply lost interest. I won't elaborate on that because I honestly do not know for sure why.

And that, my friends, was the history of how I became admin. I posted this to give you a first hand account of my history because I noticed you people seemed to be interested in it.
