User blog:Webkinz Mania/Project 10



 Total Drama  turned  ten  in  2017  and to celebrate  Ten Years of Total Drama , the staff has created  Project 10  to commemorate the best and worst of the series.

About
 Project 10  was a retrospective activity created by  Webkinz Mania , to commemorate the ten year anniversary of  Total Drama . Its first blog was posted on  January 1, 2017 , with categories and nominees based off  Total Drama Island .

The polls were accessible through the  Google Forms  links posted on each blog and closed on the final day of the month. Results and winners were posted on the following month's blog.

 1,330  ballots were submitted this year. The most popular month was  August 2017 , with  182  ballots cast. We averaged  121  ballots cast per month.

Final message
I announced  Project 10  in my speech during the Holiday Wiki-Fest  one year ago. We saw a lot of new users in a disappointing year without a new season.

Next year will be 2017. 2017 is the ten year anniversary of Total Drama Island. ''We plan to go bigger and better next year, including a brand new blog series where opinions regarding everything in the show will matter!  You will hear more about Project 10 in the days to come. I will be posting a blog before midnight EST. The staff is really excited for this.  Things might be uncertain in the months and years ahead. Both for the show and series, but the community will always be one.''

This was a concept I have been looking into since 2011 for our third Wiki-Fest. I am glad  Project 10  was such an exciting year-long celebration. Users stayed up late to be among the first to vote in the polls, react to our results, and participate in our record-setting six Wiki-Fests held this year!

One year earlier, most users thought the series was over and others thought that the ten year anniversary of the show we all know and love would go unnoticed. One year later, we received one thousand votes in  Project 10 , and there is now  Total Drama Daycare  for you guys to enjoy or rip to shreds next year. I hope this season can parallel the critical acclaim that  Total Drama Island  received.

I did my job and it has been a fun adventure not just this year, but also the nine past years on the Wiki. Today marks the end of  Project 10  and will also mark the end of my tenure on the Wiki. I have made a lot of memories on here, but it is time for me to move on. I will be leaving tonight. If you need to contact me going forward, send me a message on Community Central. Thank you everyone for your continued support.

One final time,
