Is there a reason to start making and fleshing out this page? I mean, there is still a sections on CWCki Club, and it does HAVE the term "CWCki" in it, but does that mean that there should be a page up here?

Ehh. I already made a section on the CWCki Forums page about the CWCki Club. Plus, on their statement about the death of the Kiwi Farms, they did said that even though that they are about "so-bad-its-good shows and media", they are advertising their section on Chris. Plus, their about us does say "We're off our meds and on the online as the primary forum-based community dedicated exclusively to the one and only Christian Weston Chandler. Known as the creator of Sonichu the electric hedgehog Pokemon." So, yeah. The CWCki Club should be mentioned over here (especially now that the Farms are gone), but I'm not so sure if it should have its own page or the section on the CWCki Forums page is good enough.
