TL;DR: Kumizone is a bad joke shop, not a wiki.

Kumizone was a legendary website which started out as a Kusaba chan board, then turned into a wiki. It was originally intended to be a parody of ED, though over time it devolved into a place to write about whatever rubbish some bored people pull out of thin air on a sleepless night. Knowledge of its existence today is little and far apart, but those (un?)lucky few who participated in it are now known as Retro-Kumizonians.

Two of the sauces of much win on Retro-Kumizone was the one-word story and translation party graph. Though these esoteric pieces of software are now completely inaccessible, together they gave rise to some of the memes that have since been documented right here on Compile Worlds.

-'''Kawachan''' is the [[website]] which [[you]] are reading [[right now]]. It was originally known as ''Kumizone'', as it was only part of the Kawachan website, but slowly grew to take over the whole domain, at which point the two separate names didn't make sense, hence the renaming. Kawachan was named after [[Kawase]], and was initially created as a [[Kusaba chan board]], whereas Kumizone was named after another of Kawase's nicknames, with the "zone" being a long-since-forgotten [[pun]] on the [[Sonic series]].
+'''Kumizone''' was a legendary website which started out as a [[Kusaba chan board]], then turned into a wiki. It was originally intended to be a [[parody]] of [[ED]], though over time it devolved into a place to write about whatever rubbish some bored people pull out of thin air on a sleepless night.

-Kumizone came about on [[February 18]], [[2008]]. It was originally intended to be a [[parody]] of [[ED]], though over time it devolved into a place to write about whatever rubbish some bored people pull out of thin air on a sleepless night. Though it was born from a [[hilarious]] [[MSN]] [[multiconvo]] between [[Kawase]], [[Keiji]], [[Sara]] and [[James]], the latter two didn't stick around due to being [[way too busy]], and Kawase eventually shied away later. Recently, the more active users are [[User:KasaneTeto]], [[User:Chao]], [[User:Neko Kohaku]] and of course [[User:Keiji]].
+Two of the [[sauce]]s of much [[win]] on Retro-Kumizone was the ''one-word story'' and ''translation party graph''. Though these esoteric pieces of software are now completely inaccessible, together they gave rise to some of the [[meme]]s that have since been documented right here on [[Compile Worlds]].
-Although the name Kumizone has long since faded into obscurity, the term ''Kumizonian'' remains... mostly because "Kawachanian" would just sound silly.
-== One word story ==
-The ''one word story'' is a [[free]], [[online]], [[instant-access]] [[non-game]] created by [[Team Ikaria]]. It is the [[sauce]] of much [[win]] on this site. On [[April 4]], [[2009]], the one word story from was transferred from [[Team Ikaria]] to Kawachan as it fits better here, and as all [[Dumbledore]] content needs to eventually be moved to [[Gollum]].
-Unfortunately, due to not actually being used by sensible people (And [[User:KasaneTeto|only one person known to use it]]), it's now full of crap. It might be rebooted one day, but it's not a priority.
