- Hey guys! Plant here and today I just wanted you all to know that I'm officially leaving the wiki (and probably the whole wikia) for the following reasons :
1. School. I'm graduating from a specific level I choose not to share, and after this I'm entering a whole new environment.
2. Roblox. I have a game in Roblox and I got this one massive update that up to now I've been working on. It's nowhere from finished, but probably I'll be able to release it this April. The last major update was released around April - August period, I'm not so sure. Supposedly this huge update will be the last update of my game, but due to it being so large I had to divide it into three phases. The first phase of The Advancement Update as it is called is about GUI improvements, items and model improvements and GUI improvements. Mostly improvements. The second will be improvements again, but most will be new items I will be unable to add in the first phase. The third has the most complicated and hard to script stuff such as Ore Limits, chat improvements, tycoon selection and etc.
EDIT : It now has over 125K visits. 1.12 has been the most liked update ever. I am now working on a new update with my group :)
3. Life. I have a life outside, and since its going to be vacation on April we might go to various places.
But I'm not ending this blog post with just that. I want this to be special -- for everyone, especially my friends.
---TRIBUTE TO MY FRIENDS AND FRIENDS---[]
1. EinsteinBlllllllllll[]
Formerly Ivan Albrieu. Before I'm annoyed by him, but now, he is less annoying (lol)
He edits the wiki alot. That's what I can say.
FUN FACT : I have no idea what to put in this.
2. Proman V [INACTIVE][]
Sometimes goes out of hand (Just like me if I'm so happy), Proman V is a cool guy to be with. (The problem is, I've never been with him?) Well, to be friends with.
FUN FACT : I don't know much of him, no idea what to put in this.
3. Aylinerik[]
One of my good *and probably best* friends is Aylinerik. She is one of the three users who usually post on the Let's Play Ban The Person Above thread.
FUN FACT : She is the only one that asked me if I'm still on during my inactive days on October 2015.
4. Tech3267[]
One of my five 2014'er friends, Tech is one of my good *and probably best* friends. He's the goldfish of the year 2014. He's one of the three users who usually posts in LPBTPA thread and *in a whispering voice* he usually dreams about Survivalcraft updates and Kaalus' posts. Shh!!!
FUN FACT : Tech joined three days after I joined the Survivalcraft wiki! I joined in March 27 of 2014 while he joined in March 30. I actually thought that he joined earlier before I did.
5. Hazelbloom123! [INACTIVE][]
One of my five 2014'er friends, Hazelbloom123! is one of my good *and probably best* (don't worry I'll stop using that now) friends. She had contributed a lot in this wiki, especially pictures. Her profile picture used to be a flower. Oh, and she has her company named "Hazel's Photographical Services Incorporated".
FUN FACT : She has a company named "Hazel's Photographical Services Incorporated". This name was a joke and a reference to what I said on Chart's wall when I reported a spammer, "Spam report by Plant Technologies".
6. Austinjl2000 [QUITTED][]
One of my five 2014'er friends, Austinjl2000 is the best one we have when it comes to theories. He has left since December 2014, and confirming it through a comment in April of 2015.
FUN FACT : He joined two months and two days after I joined. I initially thought that he joined before me!
7. Stanimus[]
One of the (two?) administrators of the wiki, Stanimus is one of my five 2014'er friends. He's contributed a lot in this wiki and by time, he broke my one year streak of being RANKED #2 in the rank of points. Oh, and he also renamed my Upcoming Features page that had over 2k (possibly over 4k) comments. (sad violin plays)
FUN FACT : I am the cause of him being administrator! If I didn't brought up the "Stanimus for admin!" (which was initially a joke) on one message wall of Chart's, he won't be what he is now, an admin.
8. ChartreuseNarwhal[]
One of the (two?) administrators of the Survivalcraft wiki, ChartreuseNarwhal is one of my five 2014'er friends and my best friend. She appears to be my most supportive friend and has helped me in the roughest situations of my life and wiki life. She is one of the best contributors this wiki had. She adopted the wiki when the owners abandoned it. She has been the RANKED #1 in the wiki for, like a year and a half.
FUN FACT : She joined not too long after I did! She joined in April 11 of 2014.
If you'd ask me who are the friends I will miss, it would be number 3, 4, 5 and 8.
--- 2015 In a Nutshell ---[]
2015 was trash, to put it simply, bad. Please note that this is my own opinion. During 2014, contributors were so active and that every minute or a few minutes a page gets edited, and spams were not so often. 2014 was the best year for me. 2015, when many spammers came. But trust me, spammers aren't only a problem in 2015. Spammers were also a problem in 2014 but it wasn't page spam. Page spam was less before, only comment spam is the main problem. Only a few pages were locked, but in 2015 many articles were locked, including Potential Features, the renamed version of the infamous Upcoming Features. But not the whole 2015 was trash. Most were, but all, not. Let's hope that 2016 will be a good year. Even better, let's MAKE 2016 a good year.
--- Me ---[]
Having 1,930+ edits, I, Plant Champion, joined in March 27, 2014. THis is the first wiki I have contributed to. Many of you don't know, but the name Plant Champion is from the game PvZ, when I was playing PvZ and was looking on the PvZ wiki (particularly the Hacking guide, wanting no recharge and infinite suns for some reason) and thought of contributing the wiki. I created my account after that but I never contributed to the wiki. Instead I contributed Survivalcraft, for some reason even I don't know. I started commenting, then created my first official edit of an article, the Upcoming Features page. The page was "bombed" by false features and was later deleted. I recreated the page and since the spammer was gone it didn't get deleted. Just to clarify, the Upcoming Features page is NOT dead. It still lives, with a new name. A few days later a new user named ChartreuseNarwhal came. She had so much potential. She wanted to help the wiki, and by that time the admins were already gone. She posted an adoption request, and one day, the request was approved. She made the fallen wiki rise again, ever since the admins were gone for long. She had our support.
So what will I do now? I have a lot of plans for 2016, because why not? You can do many things in a new set of 366 days. Sometimes 366 days is not just enough, but you will have another set of 365 days after that.
For everyone, especially my friends, if I ever did, I'm glad to be part of their story. This is my story, but this isn't the end. One day I will come back, not so early, not so soon, but not so far future. If not tomorrow then probably the next day.
Farewell.
