My story... tsk tsk, where shall I begin?

It's changed so much, it's hard to remember my first experiences with this place. I do know that I was an anonymous user for quite some time, I was too scared to edit anything, and the article I visited most was Morgause's! (She used to be my favourite) In fact, I accidentally went on it before I saw the finale, and saw the photo of her head smashign against the pillar. I was like :O then closed the page, I was too afraid of spoilers! So that's basically it, my only contact with anything Merlin was through Channel Ten in Perth TV. Then I started to contribute to this Wiki, hmm... I think my first focus was on the blogs section, I made a blog post about the Dochraid in the trailer for Season 4, when we first heard of the Dochraid's name.

I saw Series 4 episode one only a couple months after I watched the finale of Series 3, so it was pretty cool, more Merlin! Back then I was unaware that Britain had got it a year before! I'm glad Channel Ten improved their pace, being only 3 weeks behind British broadcasting come Series 4.

I have to say, I was rather unimpressed with this Wiki, the amount of nonsense circulating on here was pretty worrying, I fell for a lot and had wrong expectations of Series 4 and found myself confused. I didn't know what to believe. I looked up to many of the users here, I thought they were crazy devotees, and never imagined I'd be the user with the second highest edit count and top admin. But, I love my Merlin, and I tried and tried, eventually getting the role of admin. At first, like you, even considering it seemed impossible. MrThermo was all the way up there, you know, all you people down there, none of you are gonna get power here, but bam! I did, and we have team R.A.T, we've exceeded MrThermo.

Hey, this is pretty much what I wrote on the Community page!

What I can say, though, is that my standards have changed dramatically. Remember adding a link to the drop down menu for Series 4 was a big deal? When MrThermo finally added "Series 4" we were like "WHOA! Finally!" I actually thought doing that wasn't possible back then! Haha, but I didn't have an inkling of CSS and JS and what that can do! This has better customisation than Wordpress!

I started to roam here mainly in June-July of 2011. I cannot recall if I came here before that, it's been a while.
