User blog comment:DevonAndersen/Why Did YOU Join iCarly Wiki IN THE FIRST PLACE/@comment-3083473-20111208005050

Well, I joined the wiki because I loved iCarly. Well, that part was obvious. I was actually fangirling over a show (which I refuse to name because I absolutely despise it and I'm kinda embarrassed). Anyway, I just discovered wikis and all, so I thought I might as well join the iCarly Wiki since I loved iCarly. I was an anon at first, since I didn't make an account yet and anons were still allowed when I found this wiki (the beginning of September 2010). A week or two later, I joined this wiki as a member. I commented on blogs (at the time, Roxas82 was the "blog queen" and it was easy to meet people by commenting there). I also edited a lot of pages to make it seem like a wasn't just there for discussing it, but also for making the wiki better. After a period of time, I became a respected user and had lots of friends. I thought I would only go on for checking for new iCarly news, and also for new Seddie news (which I became obsessed with after joining, when I was sorta nuetral when I joined - but towards Seddie more). Then I realized what a great community this wiki had and I couldn't leave. Then, I came on daily for not only iCarly, but for all the awesome, friendly users. Over time, the wiki HAS changed, but not so drastically that I would say I'm on a whole 'nother wiki. Some people who were here for a few months think the wiki has changed a lot or whatever, but think about how this wiki has changed over a YEAR. 99% of the active users on now weren't even ON the wiki when I joined. I've gained so many friends when I joined, but that was a problem. I became so close to them that I couldn't leave. Unfortunately, not many people have the same point of view as I do. They left anyway. But looking at the users now, I don't think they'll leave. But nobody knows for a fact. I never thought anyone from months ago would leave. Guess I was wrong.

I joined the wiki because of iCarly. I stayed on the wiki because of the community.
