User blog comment:The Ultimate Dude/Remembering Old Vocaloid Wiki/@comment-4544715-20141112135416/@comment-53539-20141112154608

I only used them originally as a prompt, it was the same for some other stuff I did. thats why some of the things I did early on were completely random rubbish. O_o

It worked in the end.

Less then happy memory? The original grudge against the wikia starting up at VO. It was like every time a certain few members had the chance they just openly struck out against us, if not for them we'd be getting along better now. Its improved, but still there... I kept trying to explain to the VO'ers doing it, that we need VO forums because we can't cover everything and its best that all fans congregate at one location and stressed how this is not good because we send many visitors their way. The last thing they need to do is start a fight because it would hurt both sites.

I have as many memories that are happy as good. >_<

I remember prior to editing that once upon a time, when I first lurked, all english vocaloids were slapped onto one page. IT had broken down by the time I got here.

There was also lots of fan crap on here, random derivatives. Also, when I first lurked there was as more UTAU on here too.

I remember when we allowed any image of Leon and Lola onto the wikia, I put my foot down as a bureaucrat because it was sending the wrong message to some fans and we've not allowed fan-OC-Leon on since.

I was a lot snapper back in the early days because I had issues with people within the fandom. I shouldn't have had to tell people that editing wikipedia and the wikia and bringing it to standard was important and it really irked me at the time. I also had a fit at several stages more then I had have issues already. Wikipedians got it worst, to be fair, as I could not believe that they'd ignore English Vocaloid JUST because the Japanese Vocaloids were more popular because it was the early English V1's that held most of the really important stuff that needed to go on the page.

I also remember feeling really, really lost when I first edited. Like... I had always done wiki editing related to anime and manga or video games even, I had 'never done one related to software. I had no idea what direction to work in. I imagine it was the same for others also in those early days. For a long time, it was "toss it in to see if its working or not". :-/
