Neither is "cooper". That is another name, though. 108.17.6.105 wrote:

Sadly today, one of the administrators of this place, the Australian girl Pinkolol16 (or "Pink" for short), decided to quit it due to the "immaturity" of some of its users. It's a quite severe loss for it, as she was one of the most serious and competent admins of the wiki, despite probably not being the oldest one in age (16 years old).

First a bit of backstory. Pink, whose real name Amber, first came on the wiki near November 2013, "entierely by accident", as she wanted to know how the YouTuber SuperMarioGlitchy4 (or "SMG4" fo short) was popular. She noticed the place was badly made, with "poor" or "bad" explanations on most of its articles, and that several of those pages were too short or had missing details in them, though the users there were clearly fans of SMG4, who is noted for his videos including a crazy retarded adult humour (but his fanbase is partially composed of children who often act immature due to the crazyness of his "bloopers"). Pink then intended to contribute to it to make it look better and more professionnal, but decided to wait for a while before doing that (in the meantime, the founder of that encyclopedia, EmigasFist3 (who was apparently impersonating Chuck Norris hence his alias), got blocked for infinite due to his big scandalous behaviour). She finally started her cleanup work a decade of days later, on September 2014, and then became one of the most active contributors of the wiki. Later, she also noticed most of the users weren't exploiting the comments sections propperly on articles, as they apparently didn't know the purpose of those messages was discussing about how to improve the articles themselves, and not saying random stuff about their main subject; so another admin, The Zog. (aka "BedrockPerson", who lives in the state of New-York), listened to her and disabled them in reply, and let the separate talk pages opened as they were less often targeted for spamming. Thanks to the cleanup work, helped by a few other including AgentMuffin (or Agent for short, American himself too), the wiki had progressively started to look better, but there was still a lot to do, and after she more or less managed to force the other persons to stop using rotating code to make pans text of various size and pictures to rotate, one other major problem, which is the main reason of Pink's leaving, was (and is) still not fixed: most of the other contribs were atcing immature (some of them being kids) and going off-topic in conversations on various threads and blogs. She then created on late April 2015 a topic dedicated to "random off-topicness" on the Fun and Games board which is itself meant to those kinds of things. But despite that, the other users were still going off-topic on the other threads (and blogs). A few days ago, she told them in a blog post that there was a need to to keep the place under control, and that she was adding some new wiki rules to respect in a new page (although there was already one dedicated to that), and also posted a message about her management issue on the Wikia Community Central (where people can ask questions and get help to solve their problems). One of the other contribs, EmigaRaptor (aka Zenon Kandenbach, more often simply called by his main name Zenon, who lives in Italy (at Venice)), stated that he didn't accept to stay confined in one single place for having fun and going crazy as it wouldn't be funny for him.

Today, as she was fed up of that "immaturity", Amber unfortunately decided to leave the wiki and to let other people having fun, and considers herself as dead here. She also thinks everyone on this place hates her, which is untrue as some of those contribs (inlcuding myself, Zog, possibly Agent and others) don't hate her, although several others do indeed dislike her. She now hates the wiki, and believes it'll progressively fall and be taken other by immature people doing random innappropriate things. "This place is destined to fall. To all of you, rotate pictures however much you want, and go off-topic anywhere. Not like it'll get you anywhere. I'm gone. You all hated me anyway, so what's the point in staying? I had my doubts, and they came true. You were all just pointing towards the gorge. And I've jumped. Goodbye. Manage this pithole yourselves." as she said in a message on her wall. "Because of certain idiodicies with this wiki, not only with the amount of editing but with the amount of immaturity some community members seem to have as their f-ing second heartbeat, I'm gone. I'm done. Goodbye. Oh, and if you came here from my userpage, kudos to you. You found a dead user.", as she said on her userpage, replacing all its previous content. She then took the link to the SuperMarioGlitchy4 off her list of favourite wikias although she does still like SMG4's videos that she usually find funny, which now only includes the Sonic News Network Wiki, the Wikia Community Central and the Kirby Wiki.

The future of this wiki is rather incertain now, despite Pink is convinced it'll end having a lack of rules. Actually, only a few users, including me, reacted to that sad event. I'm currently thinking about a few solutions which may or may not work for solving the issue.

July 4th, 2015, by the French/Parisian anonymous user who is still not registered, a fake news reporter. I didn't know her real name was Amber. because it was completely necessary to quote the entirety of that long ass-post (am i doing AAVE right?)

and yes i am a hypocrite
