Revision as of 08:42, 2 August 2013 by imported>CK (tried to make the history a little less biased towards certain users. Mario, please fix up anything wrong you see or change it however you'd like. (Also, idk if "Archives" should be capitalized or not but I thought so because it's referring to a place))

Club Penguin Archives was created in December 2010 after the removal of the swf.cpcheats.info mirror. This site also helps keep the nostaglic Club Penguin memories flowing. From our homepage:

Club Penguin Archives is a site dedicated to preserving Club Penguin's history by archiving the files that made up the game prior to its closing.

This is our goal.

History

swf.cpcheats.info, part of a Club Penguin cheats forum and blog, was a great place to get SWFs, until it was taken down in December 2010. Refractor compressed a copy of the site before the shut down, and Tux uploaded the mirror to the server and created the Club Penguin Archives Wiki as part of the (then just a month old) Club Penguin Wiki Network.

ClubPenguinMaster was one of two administrators and was the main editor on Archives for years, until mid-2012, when a few new users from the network started to edit. Around June and July 2012, new users started to join Archives, and the SWF count on the wiki began to increase. In September, Cp kid and Nando144 became administrators, and Mario Rk won the rights after a vote in November. Along with the "revived" administration, many new things came to light on Archives. One of the notable things that came to light was the "foreign language project", which urged users to upload SWFs of all languages rather than just English. By November and December, Archives had a small but active community. Also, to give the wiki a "fresh new look", it was renamed to Club Penguin Archives (dropped the "wiki"), received a fresh new main page, and even a new logo designed by Cp kid (with elements made by Wboys14) for the wiki's second anniversary. One other significant change in Archives was the promotion of Archives' first bureaucrat (ClubPenguinMaster) at Cp kid's request to CPWN staff so the staff wouldn't have to promote and demote everyone on Archives anymore. Unfortunately, ClubPenguinMaster had fallen inactive, and was demoted a few months later via community vote.
