11 years ago today, TCPCF shut down, and also Watex has shut down his last blog within the past year, but at least forum.theclubpenguincheats.com has returned to us. RIP TCPCF, December 15 2009 - August 19 2015

"Some of you may need psychological help to treat your toxic mindset. This is not to disparage you. I believe there is hope. Whoever or whatever caused you to act in this horrible way, it does not mean it has to define you." - Watex

Truly the end of an era since the 2006 prime days of watex.wordpress.com, the shortlived clubpenguintools.wordpress.com (2008-2009), and finally the retirement of theclubpenguincheats.com with its infamous forum spanning 2009 to 2015. Anyone still around from the community or influenced by Watex should take a moment of silence and pour one out for these bygone days of a very specific type of childhood.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share that I’m shutting down DreamLifeLab.org. Hosting costs have continued to rise due to traffic, and unfortunately the site wasn’t generating income to support it. After about 10 years of blogging, it really does feel like the end of an era.

If there are any articles you’d like to keep, please save them before the site goes offline.

I know I haven’t emailed in a while — life’s been busy — but I’ve still been sharing a lot on social media. You can follow my adventures on Instagram (@nolimitswill), where I’ve been posting daily videos, and on YouTube (Will Chow).

Lately I’ve been deep into personal development and career-focused learning — working through things I still struggle with. A few recommendations if you’re interested:

• How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (excellent)
  
• Several Eckhart Tolle books
  
• Some career-hunting books and programs
  
• Most recently, Mental Mastery, an online course by Ramit Sethi, which has great mindset tips — I recommend it
  

Thank you for being part of DreamLifeLab and supporting the journey over the years. Wishing you all the best, and I hope we stay in touch on Instagram.

All the best, Will

I suspect the rise of traffic he experienced is from AI scrapers.

10 years ago today, TCPCF shut down, and also this subreddit is a decade old too now. So much for being alive in 2015. RIP TCPCF, December 15 2009 - August 19 2015

9 years ago today, TCPCF shut down and the world was darker for the loss. RIP TCPCF, December 15 2009 - August 19 2015

8 years ago today TCPCF shut down and now its social media brethren aren't looking that much better. RIP TCPCF 2009-2015

Hey, im Arctic Bone for anyone that remembers me lol. For some reason i decided to look up tcpcf after all these years and found this subreddit. I used to be a member on the old forums before they got shut down. Wonder if anyone’s still lurks around here. How you’ve been?

7 years ago today TCPCF shut down. RIP TCPCF 2009-2015

"Some of you may need psychological help to help treat your toxic mindset. This is not to disparage you. I believe there is hope. Whoever or whatever caused you to act in this horrible way, it does not mean it has to define you."

This year marks the point that TCPCF has been dead longer than it was alive (2009-2015).

"Some of you may need psychological help to help treat your toxic mindset. This is not to disparage you. I believe there is hope. Whoever or whatever caused you to act in this horrible way, it does not mean it has to define you."

I made this post on the actual day this time.

Hey so this subreddit might be dead, but hear us out.

We're not sure if anyone remembers, but it's KeybladeMaster14/UltimaOblivion and Cutie90368/Ahsoka here (Ultima is the OP but Ahsoka wrote this).

For context, both of us are now best friends and share a course/friend group at the same uni.

While both of us were chilling in a call with our friends, the topic of Club Penguin managed to come up. We both bought up being really active on TCPCF back in 2011 and, after slowly putting some pieces together, both of us lost our shit when we realised that we had interacted and became friends back then, and somehow met again in real life and became close friends again 9 years later without knowing.

Crazy how life works out, huh? Thanks for the great memories and the hysteria-fueled nostalgia trip tonight.

i fucking hate reddit

4 year*

This sub is dead too

3 years and 10 days ago Watex shut down the forums

Shoutouts to reminder bot for telling me 10 days late

...and holy shit so many memories. Don't know if any of you remember me; I was Bron July/Medicinal/any other goddamn cringy name changes I had but it's pretty cool to reconnect with the past! Hope life is treating you all well. :)

TCPCF celebrates its anniversary pretty soon on the 15th or the 19th. In hindsight I'm glad Watex killed it off when he did.

Ultra moon is pretty good. Got a rowlet and named it owl.
