Most notably the leader of the BNO, Lord Andrew Mallace, the current President of the GFW.

Notable events:
*Closure of Pirates Online - On September 19th, 2013, Disney officially closed Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Many users and administrators alike quickly abandoned the wiki, and the PPW became a ghost town almost overnight. Most users who wished to stick around the community migrated to the United Gamers Wiki, in large part due to their rules on allowing swearing in chat. Following this, the name of the wiki was changed from the POTCO Players Wiki to the POTC Fanon Wiki.
*The UGW Boycott - In late November 2013, in an effort to restore activity to the wiki, users Nults McKagan, David McMartin and Albert Spark organized a boycott of the UGW in favor of returning to the wiki. They were quickly joined by users like Captain Ned Edgewalker, Lord Andrew Mallace, Jim Logan, G-man., and more. The boycott brought many users back to the wiki and ultimately gave the wiki a temporary new lease on life after the closure of POTCO.

Notable pages/blogs:
*Quote of the Week by Captain Ned Edgewalker - Arguably the most popular page or blog on the wiki since The Mystery of The Stolen Design, Quote of the Week is a blog in which users submit a quote from a wikian or famous person for it to be put in a central poll every Sunday. Quote of the Week eventually became the second article and first blog in wiki history to reach 1000 comments.
*A Shift in Direction by Nults McKagan - In July 2014, Nults McKagan proposed "A Shift in Direction" to the Seven Seas Court. This proposal extensively increased the amount of games that wikians could write about and ultimately began the wikis' move from the POTC Fanon Wiki to the Gamers Fanon Wiki.

Notable Pages:
*NeddehCraft 2.0 by Captain Ned Edgewalker and WaglingtonŒ - Considered by many users to be among the best wiki-servers in the wikis' history, NeddehCraft 2.0 was influential for a variety of different reasons which are detailed on the page itself. But most notably, the introduction of the minigame Cactice to wikians and the creation of the Invidere universe.
*Invidere by WaglingtonŒ - Considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the single greatest story in wiki history. Inspired by the events of NeddehCraft 2.0, the story has spawned an entire lore that continues to generate activity on the wiki many years past its creation.
Notable Events:
*Pirates Forums ends partnership with the wiki - On April 2nd, 2016, longtime partner and fellow Pirates Online site abruptly ended its relationship with the Gamers Fanon Wiki. Site owner and administrator Davy Darkrage cited the wiki's immaturity and offensive content as the reason for the partnership being broken. This event led to the chat strike system being brought back, chat rule modifications and banning swearing on roleplay blogs.
*Attempted demotion of G-man. -  On May 4th, 2016, Captain Ned Edgewalker wrote a request to demote Wiki President G-man from his position. The vote was rejected at first due to the return of older users, leading to new Voter Eligibility Rules. Following the passing of this new rule, G-man himself held a second demotion vote, which ended in a tie.

Notable Events:
*Creation of the REDACTED - Early in 2017, Captain Ned Edgewalker and Nults McKagan created a wiki of their own for various reasons and called it the REDACTED . The creation of the REDACTED was revealed to GFW users on August 7th, 2017, and was received extremely poorly by wiki users. This reception was (understandably) made worse by the two blogs written by Ned (see: Blog & The Good Blog), which were heavily criticized for both being not serious enough and not explaining enough. A proper explanation was eventually written by Ned months later, and can be seen here. The creation and revelation of the REDACTED is partly what sparked the community's move to Discord in September of 2017.
*Creation of the official Gamers Fanon Wiki Discord - On September 3rd, 2017, Nults McKagan proposed the creation of an official GFW discord to the Seven Seas Court. Some users, most notably WaglingtonŒ, opposed this with the belief that moving from wiki chat to Discord would kill off wiki activity. Nevertheless, the SSC vote ended in a 2-2 tie and the vote moved to a community vote. The community vote passed easily by a margin of 5-1, and on September 12th, 2017, the move was made official when the Discord was opened to all wiki users.

Notable pages:
*Toab. - Created by Captain Ned Edgewalker and Lord Andrew Mallace - Originally intended as a picture gallery to document their adventures in various games, Toab. has become much more. Toab rules the world now.
*Mario Kart Online - Created by ITVdude2000 - A consistent source of activity during a period of inactivity, Mario Kart Online was created by relative newcomer to the wiki ITVdude2000 and has been consistently updated with new content since its inception. Mario Kart Online is also arguably the first page of its kind on the entire site, being a new type of content that is much different from the type of fanon generally found on the wiki.
Notable Events:
*Creation of WikiCraft - In the summer of 2018, Captain Ned Edgewalker founded his seventh Wiki Minecraft server, aptly titled WikiCraft. Since its inception, the server itself along with the accompanying Discord channel has become the primary or secondary hub for many wikians to interact with one another, in addition to the main GFW Discord. WikiCraft related content has also provided a nice activity boost for the wiki since its' creation.

Notable Events:
*Creation of the WikiCraft Wiki - On May 7, 2020, Captain Ned Edgewalker had a discussion with President Mallace to inform him that the WikiCraft community had created their own wiki to serve their various purposes more specifically than the GFW had. Ned and Mallace, having formed the global conglomorate that is Toab., Inc, quickly came to an understanding and the two wikis shortly affilliated with each other to permanently commemorate their friendship and history.
*Executive Order 66 - On May 8, 2020, following the prior announcement from Ned, President Andrew Mallace enacted the contingency plan known as "Executive Order 66", restoring former wiki President G-man to an administrative position to perform various aesthetic (and other) changes to the wiki, most predominantly the classic PPW theme. Later on, as a part of the executive order, the SSC would be permanently disbanded and Mallace would, presumably, become the Supreme Leader and Eternal President of the Gamers Fanon Wiki for the remainder of the wikis' lifespan.
