Poptropica Wiki was founded on June 11th, 2008 by user Jakeejakee, and thus being the first ever Poptropica fansite. The wiki was created (and purpose is still today) for the online virtual world, Poptropica. Bob Bricks took action after a few more adoptions and hired a handful of new staff members, of which created the basis for the wiki and contributed the majority of content the wiki has now. From there, the original wiki split off with another provider and this wiki continued on.
