Wiki Era

The Wiki Era is the name for the period in which the BZPB RPG was played on the BZPB Wiki (Wikia) instead of on a forum. It lasted from April 25, 2010 to November 7, 2010.

Because of the way in which it is formatted, it is difficult to link directly to "posts" in the Wiki Era. To view the Wiki Era in its entirety, see here.

History
In late April 2010, the BZPower.com forum topic that hosted the game BZPB (then known as BZPower Battles) was locked by BZPower staff member Friar Tuck. The reason given was that BZPB had evolved from a simple turn-based game to a full-blown RPG, and the only RPGs allowed on BZPower were ones that had to be approved by the mods and hosted in the RPG Subforum (however, up until that point, the mods had ignored BZPB because of how huge and ambitious it was).

To remedy this, User:Heat (then known as -Blackout-) announced that the game would continue on the BZPB Wiki (which was then hosted on Wikia). The game did indeed continue there until User:Shroom returned to announce that he had created a new forum for BZPB with fellow User Kon. While some were initially wary of the move to a new forum, it turned out to be a massively successful idea and guaranteed the game's future for five more years.
