{{U|Solar Dragon}} started off working on [[wiki]]s on the [[Top Trumps Wiki]], which was originally founded on [[:Category:Editthis.info|EditThis.info]], in [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|2007]].  After that wiki was merged into [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], Solar Dragon started working on wikis there, eventually finding his way to [[Simpsons Wiki]].  He became an [[Sysop|admin]] on around thirteen (13) Wikia wikis, most of which he was active on.  He became an admin on Wikisimpsons in [[:Category:FoundedIn2010|2010]], after only a couple of months of actively editing.

When Wikia released their new [[:Category:Skins|skin]], Solar Dragon listened to many complaints from [[user]]s of Wikisimpsons, and opened a discussion about [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|moving away from Wikia]].  Wikia's staff later removed his admin rights, in fear that he might harm the wiki, and later [[block]]ed him for protesting against this.  He then founded the new Wikisimpsons on [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]] and the wiki was moved there, with most of the active community moving along with him.
When Wikia released their new [[:Category:Wikia skin|skin]], Solar Dragon listened to many complaints from [[user]]s of Wikisimpsons, and opened a discussion about [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|moving away from Wikia]], ie, [[fork]]ing.  Wikia's staff later removed his admin rights, in fear that he might harm the wiki, and later [[block]]ed him for protesting against this.  He then founded the new Wikisimpsons on [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]], and the wiki was moved there, with most of the active community moving along with him.


After a few months on ShoutWiki, Solar Dragon was given an offer to move Wikisimpsons, to become an independent wiki.  After opening up a discussion about it, it was decided that the wiki would stay on ShoutWiki.  However, a few months later, a new discussion was opened, and it was decided that the wiki would become independent, with Solar Dragon becoming the 'Head Admin' on the independent Wikisimpsons.
