More about me:
I am an Atheist, this means I do not believe in God nor follow any religion.
I have several medical conditions. One is ADHD, which makes me a little hyper. I have also been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which is a mild form of Autism. As such, I am somewhat of an organization genius, and extremely intelligent, but I am somewhat lacking in the social department, and I have difficulty discerning a person's emotional state.

My Wetpaint History:
The beginning:

I first got introduced to Wetpaint in the summer of 2007, when I was searching the internet for spoilers related to the upcoming season of CSI. After a few months of lurking, I finally joined CSI Wiki on August 25, 2007. I did nothing at first, but a few months later I started editing pages like crazy and finally got promoted to Moderator in Spring of 2008. As a moderator, I was able to institute many changes, under the permission of the Wetpaint and CBS personelle who ran the site. After CBS abandoned Wetpaint later that year, I was able to operate even better and I started uploading thousands of screencaps, running several games, and organizing the wiki to make things easier to find for people. In my time there, I made many friends, and also had a few cold encounters with some fellow staff members.

Wetpaint Central:
After I had built up my reputation on the CSI Wiki, I began branching out to a few other wikis, mostly TV related. I also started visiting Wetpaint Central and helping users out with their enquiries. Finally, after reversing a spam attack in January of 2009, Jeremy finally promoted me to Community Moderator in February of the same year.

My first act as Moderator was to lock all 400+ pages on Wetpaint Central.
I also began re-organizing the layout of several pages.

Over the summer of 2009, I started drafting the Wetpaint Central Rules, which now serve as the official rules for proper conduct on this wiki.

In fall of 2009, I once again went th
rough all 400+ pages and resized all the font from Size 12 to Size 10.

Later on, I started the Non-Role Play Top 50 list, to show the top non-role play wikis apart from the Top 500 list.


In Fall of 2012, I was finally promoted to Community Administrator, following CryingDove's resignation from the post.

In January of 2013, I designed and implemented a brand new homepage design. This new homepage is designed to be more dynamic, functioning more as a newsletter, and less as a boring page with basic informative links. I also formed the new Wetpaint User Manual page as well.

In February of 2012, I began cleaning and re-organizing the discussion forum in order to eliminate all old, irrelevant, and outdated threads.

When Wetpaint upgrades their server hardware, I am planning on going through all the 4,000+ deleted pages and removing their keyword tags to further reduce the chances that anyone might find them in the future.


Golden Paint Can Awards:
After several failed attempts to create my own wikis, and diminishing activity on CSI Wiki, I focused back on Wetpaint Central. Then, in the summer of 2010, Wetpaint abandoned the Golden Paint Can Awards and began focusing more on their new entertainment platform. I finally petitioned to take over the Golden Paint Can Awards wiki, and was promoted to Administrator in September of 2010. After three years of running it the same way, I finally decided to change the whole format of the awards.

Overall, I have had a pleasant time on Wetpaint, though there have been times I have felt like doing this:

Hello, It has been sometime since Wetpaint has posted its warnings, etc. How might I and my college students access Wetpaint Education to create educational wikis that will be open by invitation only?

Hi,

I am the creator of http://draculasgirls.wetpaint.com

The two pages below were deleted from the google searches of Indiggo:
http://draculasgirls.wetpaint.com/page/Indiggo
http://draculasgirls.wetpaint.com/page/JAY-Z+%26+INDIGGO+TWINS+%2F+WATCH+THE+THRONE

The pages appear on google with the following description:
"A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more."

Until now these 2 pages appeared on Indiggo google searches on the first page. Did somebody block them? How can I add them back in the google searches?

Thank you, Violeta

Anonymous What is the future of the disrespectful "community" site? 5 Apr 15 2013, 7:05 PM EDT by bellswebster

Hi CaptainSpaz,

I've been following the issue of wikis being blocked on wetpaint (I always liked the http://prepaid-wireless-internet-access.wetpaint.com - damn useful to find a cheap Internet access abroad - it is blocked now). There are many complaints, but two are there each time - the site has been blocked with no warning, and no-one is able to give any explanation. This is a HUGE lack of respect to people who put years of their time in their wiki. This is simply outrageous. I also cannot see why the admins of the possibly non-compliant wikis could not have been warned, asked to make changes, ... There are many possibilities - the easiest and stupidest - just block - has been chosen.

I have seen all the arguments of "but wetpaint gives us a good mixture of features" - does it really? The last two do not seem like a welcome addition, do they? I would reconsider having my stuff in a place like that - without ever being sure it will be there next day. With disdainful, disrespectful and stupid company behind.

In any case - lots of luck. I will NOT join you all anytime soon.
