Actually, Lava, you forgot about a lot in your phases!
(and don't bother with the ark mobile server, you may have fun at the start but after a few days.. well, you'll see)
I'll only include info that I know/rememebed
Phase one: The beginning
The moment the "Stories" section releases, Seasnake and P. Metallica (Big Blue Spider) start writing. Their stories (Skullhelm's Story and AJTTAT) weren't the best, honestly. After a few days/weeks DTG starts writing Dodo Tales, the story that everyone was obsessed with (Because everyone loves the short-chapter stories without properly developed characters and a horrible, makeshift plot), which boomed in popularity.. Soon after, Bob followed in DTG's crooked footsteps
I call these four the "True OGs"
Phase two: The Big Boom
I wouldn't call these ones OGs, necessarily. Maybe Swamp up to Nazgul, but the rest arent very original.
Anyway, Swamp guy joined in the mix, Skronk and Nazgul trailing behind. Lamprey, CL1 and Dilo start writing stories as well. All of the new fanfictioners bring new types of fans, and the community swells immensely. Apex, Red Dragon, and Silverwings joined around this time (or in/after P3/P4)
Phase Three (some of these events may have happened during phase two!): Altered Systems
Things have changed now. A new writer (I wouldn't call them a fanfictioner since they weren't apart of the community, and, well-) starts writing a story about all the fanfictioners. The Fanfictioner Hunger Games, or something along those lines. Trust me not to remember these things.
Around this same time we discovered something apparent, that we needed somewhere to call our home. We needed a place to regroup and just have fun together overall.
"Wheres the Dodo Tales" guy mysteriously disappears around this time. RIP 😔
Anyway, someone (unnamed) suggested that we go to the dyes. And then another post suggested we go to Silver dye! So there we go.
We moved in. That's pretty much it
Phase Four: Discord Erupts
To some, Silver Dye wasn't enough. We couldn't share pictures, and it took a day for our messages to post! (And that's why we need a real talking platform, one with members that are active on here too. I might make another discord..)
Bob suggests an app, something that allows us to talk to each other freely and play a game at the same time! Nation something.. my memory is horrible, sorry. Either way, well, it didnt work out.
Next suggestion? Discord! Personally, I had previous experiences with discord and vowed never to go on it again (lets just say I broke that vow) and some other fanfictioners refused to join as well. I made a discord and invited DTG first. Then came CL1, Dilo girl, Silver.. Anyway, the discord slowly grew. It was fun in there! I loved it. But came consequences. Back in Dododex, a lot of people disliked the idea and for a good reason. Most of the members who transferred over to the discord became inactive.
Phase Five: Missing Whole
In dododex, it may have not been clear, but if you searched hard enough a dark future was tangible.
The decline of the community was upon us. Plots dried out and not much was left for us to write. In addition to that, part of the community had been ripped apart, left to join Discord, leaving new fanfictioners to fill its hole, But despite their best efforts, something was always missing. They couldn't find the right fit for the tear.
The discord lost all hope and broke apart-
DTG mainly.
Phase Six: The Steep Climb (current)
Slowly, more and more fanfictioners slipped into the hole and filled it up. Like glueing together a broken stone; it may be fixed but it won't ever be the same.

More Silver Coloring Tips
Dilo Girl, HJK, PD, anyone from pre2023 Silver and prior to the rebuilding of Achatina!!!
This is PrimalApex, I am from Achatina and joined the fanfiction community there in March of 2023, and didn’t find about anything in the dyes until 2024. BUT I need your help. I come here with disturbing news that I need help with. And I need someone to help me absolutely verify this.
It’s about Tina.
I know everyone has said she died, I legit told someone this, and that Peter, her brother came in here and confirmed it himself. But I know there was some sort of fiasco with a person ‘impersonating’ her called Cherades cause I had to look just now.
To make long story short, after I told this person that she died, I got real curious about her and look for her old posts. I was looking for any of her older posts on here to find a start date and put any information I can on her in our Fandom to properly memorialize her there. I was looking through the creature posts because it can verify the account and show you what other stuff they have posted in the past on a creature story post (for some reason dyes are anonymous posts so you can’t verify) and I found a post from Tina’s account, in December of 2022 going by the name of Charmer. Now I had checked before doing my dive into the creature posts and saw Peter’s announcement of Tina’s happened in August of 2022. Which means this should be impossible. But, there was also that other run in ‘FakeTina/Cherades’ in December. So is this fake too? It is from her old account that posted stories, so is it real???
I need to ask anyone here, anyone who has Discord and is on the Silver Dye’s Discord if anyone, someone has verifiable proof that Tina is really dead. Cause this is breaking it if it is real.
I am not here to stir up controversy, I am not here to open old wounds, I am not here to do anything but find the truth. If you want to verify my evidence, please do so. Go to Bing (Google won’t do it anymore, at least for me), and look up “Survival: a fan made story — Chapter one Dododex”, Copy and Paste it and go to Bing. Or go to the Achatina Fandom and ask to see the evidence from PrimalApex. I WILL SHOW IT TO YOU!! Please, I beg of anyone who can, please prove to me we had solid proof Tina died. Because I am afraid that all we have is the word of Peter, I think a terrible mistake happened. And it hurting me to think about it.
Please, somebody, anybody, if you don’t believe me come to Achatina, and use the website version to see the stories. I can prove this is genuine and I am the genuine PrimalApex. I just need someone to help me lay this rest. Please, anyone?
Until Next Time,
-PrimalApex
(Who is actually tearing up)
Hi, I have decided to try to write stories starting in silver dye. I am a new ark player so bear with me.
My start:
I woke up in an unfamiliar world. I look around, and all I can remember is my name, Blue. I feel a pinch on my arm and look down at it. I see a gem. I try to rub it off but I can’t. I walk over and start punching a tree. I get wood and thatch in my gem. Then, I punch a rock. That gives me flint, stone, and 1 metal. I tap the gem and look inside. It looks like a computer. I see different parts. I tap something called an eneagram and unlock a axe and fire. Then, I unlock a pickaxe. I use the axe to get more wood and thatch and the pickaxe to get stone and flint. I get no metal this time. I look in my crystal agian and see a crafting part. I craft a fire. I run in the forest and feel pain. I look down and see tiny dinosaurs. I start running away but they follow me. They kill me. I wake up agian, confused. I look around. I think “I must have somehow respawned.” I tap my crystal and see a message. I look at it and it says “you have been killed by a level 3 compy. I see a green beacon of light. I run to it. I find myself in the same place I was where I died last time! I look around apprehensively. I can’t see the compy.
More hopefully coming soon. -Joy

… I thought the impersonator was LeTroll… was there another one that I didn’t find when I was… not… digging deep into the dyes for lore…
Feels like I’ve discovered an ancient landmark in Dododex.
A hidden community hidden away in a random place.
Arguing and chatting on the most random subjects.
I think they even made a discord.
Fascinating to know Dododex isn’t just a wiki for some, it’s a community.
-SomeGamerGuy, the stupid friend.
okay, but, what the shuck is going on here, who is Tina (rip if it was real tho), who is dtg, I needa read allo’ this lore to get caught up, seriously tho, this silver coloring tips section is completely bizarre.
5 years ago this was me. Bruh I'm in college now...
-Dilo Girl, I still live!
Wow, so glad I found this place, it is so cool. -Joy

I will be continuing and revamping The Righteous.
