Hey guys,
I’m really pleased of my CPHistories. They are fun to write, and my feedback from them is that they are fun to read. Anyways, I always thought that The Watex Files would always be the most successful CPHistory. Last month you guys proved me wrong. “Fear The UMA: If You Dare” passed up the Watex Files, and even got some new visitors. And to believe it almost didn’t happen. I was going to use this months CPHistory theme instead, but realized that UMA fit better in May, because the Boiler Room Battle took place in May. I’m hoping this months is also a hit. This one may be harder because possibly CPHistoriy’s biggest fan, Tanuki I, isn’t really using his site Anyways, Enjoy!
A long time ago, there were no blogs. Very few knew how to take pictures. There are only 3 or 4 known pictures of the beta test party. But then, a new idea as introduced to Club Penguin. A blog! Because Club Penguin updates so much, well, you could post about it on a blog! The best part is…you would get famous! Many of you are probably just rolling your eyes now, saying “Yeah yeah, and then penguins like Watex and Chewy Pup got famous” But it started out different. Most penguin chose WordPress, and those who didn’t usually switched. But many blogs were really amateur, and you could find out more about the updates from the Club Penguin Blog. Blogs seemed like a stupid idea, until October came around. A year after Club Penguin was launched, blogs skyrocketed. And all because of 4 penguins. All because of Paintboy100 and Antras. He started a site, and decided that he would post updates. On time, and with all the details. That was all you needed back then. Of course, he had more. SECRETS! His site was huge. But one penguin couldn’t launch the Club Penguin blogging craze alone. His good friends, Kornareso and Dendo Guy, also has sites that were huge, and a penguin named Chewit Dude.
However, blogging back then was different. You see, it was as if those four sites were the only sites. They controlled the blogging industry. Very few other CP blogs were heard of. And the 4 were just fine with that. Everyone visited their sites, and they were famous and rare. Everyone was talking about them, and soon they were the highlights of the “rare” server, Mammoth. If someone was to say “Paintboy100 is at the Lighthouse Beacon” you wouldn’t even be able to get into the Beach, much less the lighthouse, even if he wasn’t there (Which he always wasn’t) But some people didn’t like that Paintboy100, Dendo Guy, Chewit Dude and Kornareso controlled Cp Blogs. Indeed, Paintboy above all got most of the insults.
But eventually, something began to happen. A new site, run by Watex, got popularity. It never moved up to the Top 5 sites at that time, but showed that sites other than those could get popularity. Nothing dented their fame until something began to happen. You know how Micheal Jackson sorta went crazy because of fame? Same thing happened with Paintboy. By this time, Watex’s site had passed almost all of them up, and Dendo Guy was losing hits. That was when Paintboy lost all the will to blog. He stopped showing off his rare clothes, usually wearing nothing, or a blue cape, and stopped approving comments. It gave an eerie look to his site. He had lost to Watex. Of course, at the same time, Chewit Dude disappeared, without a sign of why. His site was even suspended ages later, for no reason. Dendo and Kornareso carried on for a bit longer, then in time, Kornareso disappeared, and Dendo quit. The last remains of the Blogging Titans fell
None of the Blogging Titans were left. Instead, there were many famous penguins. Watex and Mimo777 now battle it out for top site, with new famous penguins with top sites like Toronto and Mohd. But maybe a good friend of mine is right. Its the famous penguins who are newbs. Some of them so wrapped up in fame, they can’t see ahead of them.
But in time, Dendo came back. Of course, his hits per day were minuscule, but he was back. The small stem of a plant poking up through the debris. As writing this, Chewit Dude just returned about a week ago. Its going to take an awful lot to restore their sites to the quality of their old ones. Who knows, maybe Paintboy100 may even return and re-invent blogging again. Maybe this time, it will be a new penguin, unheard of now, who will rise up and follow the work of Paintboy100 and Watex. We could sure use it. Just go to the Dock at Frozen. So many insults being thrown around its almost a wasteland. Ah, the sad story of Frozen is a story for another day (Possibly even a CPHistory) Who knows….
