Whether it’s the PHB or Poptropica.com, these websites get updated from time to time, and these posts are here to document those developments.

Shrink the shot!

Slanted Fish

Do you have what it takes to beat Shark Boy’s high score on the Shrink Shot minigame? Be sure to check it out on Shrink Ray Island if you haven’t already.

According to the ending of that video from the PoptropicaCreators, as well as Poptropica’s official Shrink Ray Island info page, Shrink Ray Island starts on June 30th! It didn’t say whether that applied to members only or to everyone, although we can assume they meant the members first (but you never know, right?).

Stick the banner's HTML code into your website!

In other news, comics are back up and running on the Daily Pop, and Director D. thanks you for your patience. 🙂

Also, check out our Poptropica Help Network site (www.poptropicahelp.net)! It’s recently been updated for accuracy, and the banners page has seen the most improvement. Six new banners were created to advertise the PHN, which you can embed into a website to help spread the word! (Click the labels at the top to navigate the site.) Remember, the PHB (blog.poptropicahelp.net) is only one part of our large Poptropica community!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 million!

Slanted Fish

As of today, May 24, 2011, the Poptropica Help Blog has reached the milestone of five million visitors. It’s been less than three years, but we have had thousands coming to our website every day for their dose of Poptropica awesomeness.

And we couldn’t have done this without all of you guys. Thank you to each and everyone of you for continuing to support the PHB!

As a reward, you can now indulge yourself in the goodness of some limited edition PHB cookies made just for the occasion. 😀

The ninja’s guide to saving Japan

Slanted Fish

Even stealthy ninjas need a little help sometimes. And that’s what the Poptropica Help Blog is here for. Thanks to Super Thunder and Icy Comet, a guide is now available for the new Red Dragon Island! Just click here for the walkthrough (it even has pictures!), or here for the island page. Update: Red Dragon Island will be released to all on June 2nd, 2011!

If you prefer to be taught visually, our video playlist with the trailer video and four-part guide by YouTuber Graser10 is now available on our YouTube channel. We are working on creating a labeled map for this Magic Tree House-based island, but in the meantime, the Poptropica Creators have released the trailer video that’s sure to get you excited to help out Jack and Annie!

Can you save your friends from a legendary power? This is the test!

April Fools?

Codien

[Insert quirky pun to trick all Poptropicans here.]

Remember the good old days of Scary Tomato's Weblog?

(post written by Hijuyo; trick by Codien)

If you know your PHB history, you know that the founder, Hijuyo, used to be known as Scary Tomato, whose Poptropican was pictured in its very first blog header (shown above for your reference), back when ST/Hijuyo’s graphics weren’t all that great.

A few months later, along came Codien. He became the third author to join the team, after Smockers, and began sprucing up the place by creating amazing graphics for the site and even renaming it from ‘Scary Tomato’s Weblog’ to ‘Poptropica Help Blog’ – what we still know it as today.

PhotoAnd although he left the team, Codien’s missed us and is back to posting and being the awesome graphics guy – that part is not a joke! Coming back just in time for April Fool’s Day 2011, he quickly came up with the idea of triggering back some old memories as part of the prank – by putting the very first header up and once again changing the site name to Scary Tomato’s Weblog!

We hope it made you smile, but rest assured, we’re back to being the Poptropica Help Blog, and with Codien back on the team, our next header is definitely going to awe everyone. 🙂

Happy April Fool’s Day!

-‘Scary Tomato’ and Codien

*note: Since the PHB prefers to maintain a limit of 7 staff members and Smockers hasn’t been posting for almost a year despite attempts to contact him, we have removed him from the staff list. We are saddened to do this, but it is extremely unlikely he would have continued posting anyway. Farewell, Smockers, you will be remembered. :,)

P.S. Wondering what Poptropica did for April Fool’s Day at the same time? Check out the new ‘Prank Can’ gold card available at the Poptropica Store!
