Eventually, I had finished the main group of Pikmin characters (my friends from PR and the newest PL people). Then one day, one of my minor friends from PR who had joined from the beginning, and logged back in near the end heard about the wikia and started to fool around with me. He was talking about my wikia page, and when I checked it out, he had screwed up the spelling.
For an example, he would spell words such as ''the'' as ''teh'' and he would spell ''would'' as ''wood'' or something like that. In general, he messed up the article, which I had to edit.
This really kind of ticked me off. I don't understand why he'd do this. But anyway, I finished the topic and locked it, just in case he might do it again.
I also checked the other topics if he edited them. He only edited his topic and added some gangster quotes, which I then corrected the spelling and grammar.
By this time, I started to get lazy, but I kept trying to improve it.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 9: Depression
Recently, the forum hasn't been doing too well.
Besides the fact of the some new RPGs, The PL System which is being made by OP, the forum has lost most of its charm.
The activity level has gone through a massive downfall. I remember going on PL and having almost no posts posted and waiting in the Cbox for someone to chat, but only about 10 posts were made that day. The reason of this tragedy is probably because of Louie not coming on for some reason, along with his GF, Nitro is in Las Vegas, which hopefully he comes back soon and Weebl was on vacation most of the time, and more.
This is a sad time for Pikmin Legends. Sometimes I miss all the spamming and stuff that used to happen. At least that was actually fun in a way. Now it's just boredom and depression... But still, I'm sure that the activity will return and there will be new adventures.

The Pikwikia Story - Chapter 1: A Great Idea
Some time when the site was at about 10-20 members, me and a bunch of people saw Weegee's own wikia, called ''Pwnapedia''. This inspired me into making a wikia myself. But what could it be about? Finally, I decided to make it a Pikmin wikia, which gave some info about Pikmin games, but most importantly, to make articles about all the Pikmin characters who were planned to be used in the fanfiction that got deleted a while ago, named Pikmin Heroes.
When I had made the wikia, there was one problem I didn't notice until I finished my article. Above the title, it was categorized as a ''lifestyle'' wikia. It was supposed to say ''gaming''. Still to this day I want to change it.
After a few days, I had put in my character, and a few other characters.
But then more members came on with new characters, so I had to keep going.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 8: Today
The spammers are gone and all is peaceful at PLR currently, providing that the site doesn't get erased a fourth time. Sadly, the activity has dropped a bit.
Power tries to come on with new accounts, so a close eye is being kept out for him, but if he has managed to sneak in, he has not done anything yet. The site is still members only but perhaps it will be opened to the public when the threat of spam recedes.
Now we must only wait for the next chapter of Pikmin Legends....

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 7: Under The Bridge
Soon, Cowbell, a minor troll from PR was, perhaps regrettably, told about PL by OP at Rauru's Raturn. He came over and trolled a bit, but that was just Cowbell. Then one time, I allowed Louie to put some emoticons in the Cbox, but after he was done I accused him of putting inappropriate ones, like a sperm emoticon. He said that he didn't put it. Possibly, that was PM using the account, since he got it. Nothing too serious had happened... yet.
After a while trolls showed up. Many trolls. They couldn't get in the forum, but they posted over and over in the chatbox. Cowbell suggested that the spammers were from Flannel Shirt Discussion, made up of the more shady PR members. The spamming lasted several days when I suddenly, I had received an e-mail saying that Cowbell had done all of the trolling, including the trolling done at PL, and I promptly deleted his account in anger, but this was a big mistake of mine.
Later, Cowbell explained to everyone how obvious it was that the e-mail was a troll itself, and although his IP for another account was unbanned, he was furious enough to leave the forum and complain about PLR on other forums. Everyone felt bad about this, but there were more pressing matters. The spam continued, and Hyper was exchanging e-mails with the spammer to find out who he was. The e-mail was "terryboe" but that may have been a reuse. Orange Pikmin frantically compared IPs, but the spammer was using a different IP every time he appeared, so that was no use, probably suggesting that the spammer was using proxies.
The spammer claimed to be several other people, including Foo and PM, but his/their identity is still unknown, although there is a great possibility that it was PM. I was certain that it was PM because he was talking like PM and he was informing me about how he felt when PL went down, but this is still not 100% certain. The mysterious spammer(s) had knowledge of things that would require a mix of PM and a regular on PR. Eventually OP proposed that the Cbox simply be moved to a members-only section. I did so, making any spammers that tried to make an account very easy to spot. Now the trolls have completely vanished from PLR, and peace has returned.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 6: Life Returns
At this point, everyone fled to forums related to PL, such as Ridley's Realm which I had put in the affiliation board as a backup site in case PL suddenly went down and Mario & Luigi Story Forums, a site made by Captain Olimar AKA Takumi who was hired admin by me.
On Ridley's Realm, we made a plan to restore PL. To do this, we needed to inform the active members. Some people went to Mario & Luigi Story Forums to email people such as Takumi, Louie, Pres, etc of what had happened as the rest on RR continued to do other things to restore the members.
The next day, the users had rushed to Ridley's Realm, as they continued to talk about what happened, while I was making the new site, named ''Pikmin Legends Returns''. Eventually, it seemed like we were back on track.
This site did not have PM to drag it down thankfully, and Power was also banned for all the trouble he caused. It seemed as though peace had finally come to the Pikmin forums.. but this was merely the calm before the storm.

The Pikforum Story - Chapter 5: Child Abuser
One of the admins, Propeller Mushroom, also known as Bomb Pikmin and originally Weegee, who was my partner in creating this site, had become extremely corrupt and abused his powers regularly. Somehow, I saw this coming, because he wasn't really a nice guy before on PR, and he was somewhat acting like Power on PL, posting lame fanfictions and only coming on to post in a spam house.
PM would edit and delete posts to make himself look good, and he crossed the line when he announced that anyone who used a meme would be banned for one day. This was very hypocritic, as he spammed memes so much that on PR his enemies had given him the nickname "WeegeeS***tymeme''. At this point, I decided to try and get rid of him so he would cause no more damage. Most members were behind me to an extent, but they all had doubts. I couldn't remove PM's root admin powers, so the members suggested that I should change his email and password, preventing him from going online.
So I tried to change his activation e-mail and his password. However PM still somehow activated his e-mail, but he could not find out his password. It was also suggested to tell all the members the password just in case, so I told Louie, who told everyone including Power Pikmin. This was a grave mistake. PM asked, or in Power's words, pleaded for his password. Power did not suspect anything for some reason, and told him his password. PM immediately logged into his account, and sent the forum into chaos. He made Orange Pikmin and Epsilon Pikmin mods, possibly because they were not behind the idea of overthrowing PM just yet or he thought they would do a good job as mods, and began spamming.
Then the next day, I logged into Pikmin Legends and found out I was banned by PM. I took a look around the forum. Then I began to chat in the Cbox about it, when PM appeared at the scene. Everyone began flaming him, as I tried to explain why we tried to get rid of him. This made him furious, as he whined and complained about him being the root admin (who I was supposed to be) and him being the supreme ruler of the forum, and right after, nuked the site.
