The night CP shut down, my college gameroom was full of grown-ass adults playing one last time. It was glorious.

Riley legit sounds like he’s going through his villain arc

You know what really sucks? Disney was completely fine with CPPSes until those guys ruined it for everyone..

I will never forget Lily0926…37. We met in the late 2000’s. On Club Penguin.

Everything was going well. We’d go around everywhere. The pizza place, dojo, disco club, the plaza, and the iceberg… But then one day she did the sad/hurt emoji and I asked, “What’s wrong?” And she repeated it. She kept only responding with the hurt emoji and waddling away from me.
Then I started waddling after her spamming the hurt emoji. It was at the iceberg when I last saw her. She did the hurt emoji once more and logged off.

She didn’t log back on for what felt like weeks… And I waited until eventually I saw her online. Sadly the penguin population was full for the one she was on and I couldn’t meet her… That was the last time I ever saw her log on.

And that was the first time my heart was broken. I remember being upstairs in my room and wanting to cry. lol. I was like 9 or 10 years old.

My username was Fox9tails. LILY IF YOU’RE OUT THERE. I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT YOU

Who would've guessed that CP ruined CP

There was a private server called Club Penguin Island Forever which recreated the original game. However it was sadly shut down due to not getting many players probably because of the original CPI’s bad reputation during its run.

he thought that the CP in club penguin meant something else

I didn't know all of what was going on, but as soon as they added a "mature server" where people were allowed to swear, use derogatory and sexual language, etc., I knew it wouldn't be long before it came crashing down. Disney is very protective of their property, even stuff they're not currently using, and there was no chance that they would be allowed to continue with that even if Riley hadn't been a predator

If anyone still wants to play Club Penguin, there’s Club Penguin Legacy, Club Penguin Journey, and New Club Penguin.

Leave it to one guy to ruin a perfectly good website for everyone.

God, you're gonna have a field day if you find out about Toontown Online and it's history with fan servers. More peaceful nowadays, it once turned into harassment, doxing, hacking and bomb threats.

[crimsoncrusader]

It is sickening that people like Riley exist in our world

[Somedyingdude]

The whole story sounds like an actual plot for a movie

[jonathansdreamland]

I love how this went from club penguin game unfortunately shut down to a money hungry team that rose up against the biggest club penguin private server by slowly killing the smaller competition

[noVva]

Why does everyone that gets a little clout is always like: "hmmm i suddenly like minors now"

[Marsupial]

I genuinely forgot club penguin island existed lmao, I loved watching raids.

[jefferyfeistel]

Learning all this, it makes me sick that i used to play and support Club Penguin Online. I learned about what happened in news articles after the shut down, but i didn't know it was this bad.

God, how hard is it to not talk to kids....

[scarytalesgame]

the discord server for cpo still exists and has 24773 bans to this day
