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.

-'''Kumizone''' is the [[website]] which [[you]] are reading [[right now]]. For a period of time it was known as [[Kawachan]], because it was being hosted on ''kawachan.org'' and formed the only part of the Kawachan website. 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]]. On its third anniversary, [[February 18]], [[2011]], it <s>was</s> will be officially renamed back to Kumizone and be hosted at ''kumizone.org'' for the first time. This is so that Kawachan can refer specifically to the software that Kumizone runs on, as opposed to the website.

-== Beginnings ==
+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]].
-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]].
-Even while Kumizone was called Kawachan, the term ''Kumizonian'' remained - because "Kawachanian" would just sound silly. Now, with the imminent split/move, it finally makes sense again.
-== 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.
