User blog:Arstarpool/How did you get here?

I am just curious, thats all. Tell us how you came to the wiki today? Me, well it's a long story...

Admittedly I have been an "observer" on wikis since two Septembers ago as an anon. Yeah. Never made an edit. Actually I made two edits on the Star Wars Wiki that got me banned :P Around January-Febuary of '10, I made a Wikia account and first edited on the Zombies Wiki, where I made the pages about Cuba, Safe Zones, and the ISS. I remember some time in March I saw an advertisment for the Althistory Wiki showing some North/South US Map and a bunch of other countries. I've always had a thing for maps, so I had to click it. I think the first timeline I saw was 1983: Doomsday, and the first nation I saw I remember to this day: it was the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

I was hooked. There were so many articles, so many stories, it was pretty cool for me. I think the first edit on this wiki I made is on the (P) United States talk page where I commented on "enclaves" where I was blasted by Yank. Great welcome, huh Yank? :)

I also commented on the WCRB South US report where I thought of some Florida nations. I brainstormed a lot, but for some reason I could never decide on the name. I came close to making a page called "Everglades Territory" but then Zack approached me about making a nation in Florida. He beat me by minutes on making South Florida. No lie, I was about to save a page called "South Florida". Creepy, huh?

So tell me how you got to the wiki?
