Shark Boy: Vanishing before our Eyes!

4/19/2014

10 Comments

 
PictureNOO! Come back!
I am here with some bad news today. Shark Boy, the beloved Creator (and proud resident of Shark Tooth Island) is slowly being killed off by the other Creators. No joke. Wiped from history. I'm serious.

We should have seen this coming, in a way. On the Poptropica Toys page, Shark Boy has been missing since February 2013, though he was announced and he was there on Feb 7. If you go to his current toy page, you get a simple 404 error. So simple... but only the beginning of a web of deceit.

Any of you got Shark Boy as a Friend? (Here's how to do that if you don't know). His username was SharkBoyCreator, and his Poptropica name was Shark Boy. Now he's been renamed to SharkGuyCreator, and his Poptropica name is Shark Guy. Shark Guy?!! Maybe they're just softening us up for when they get rid of him for good.

Check out his profile. Notice that it's a perfect clone of his original account:

The worst part: All of Shark Boy's Creators' Blog posts have been shamelessly transferred to Captain Crawfish. (Even though Shark Boy has been posting for much longer than ol' Crawface). I knew he was bad, but not that bad... Look at this post (image here too):

The title says "Can you beat Shark Boy's high score?", and the video features him as well. In the post, the author says "I have the highest score..." etc., but look at the author icon at the bottom. That's right, Captain Crawfish. They won't even let him keep credit his high scores.

(Which I beat, by the way. By more than 240,000 points. But I digress...)

Can someone explain this madness? Can someone explain why one of our favorite creators is having his identity slowly and methodically dismantled? Nate Greenwall (his real name) has barely said anything about his job on his website, but then he hasn't posted anything since 2008. Only time will tell Shark Boy's fate...

Note to self: Do not go on an upgraded island while wearing the Shrink Ray Gun handheld item. It will just shoot green beams repeatedly and you cannot turn it off... 

Don't worry, I've reported this bug, and some other bugs with going to the Map from an upgraded island, so these should be fixed soon.

Ha, puberty sounds like a pretty good explanation! Anyway, yeah, they haven't really replaced him. They've just left an empty hole. "Shark Guy" is nothing more than a name.
