Revision as of 13:45, 5 September 2010
My name is Joshua Martinez, and I hate you. You are a fat, retarded, no-life who spends every second of his day drawing stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you just take to a whole new level. This is even worse than fucking an anime blowup doll.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn animal people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are a faggot who should just kill himself. Thanks for listening.

CWC's Sonichu Site! (full title: The Official & The Originial [sic] From Christian Weston Chandler the Sonichu and Rosechu Site!) was launched on August, 17, 2000 to celebrate Chris-Chan's greatest creation, Sonichu. The site has resided at different webhosts over the years since trolls keep hacking Chris's password. Since the site is frequently hacked and/or down, a mirror of the site from November 2008 is archived here.
Design and content
Chris likes to harp on how he took two HTML classes and likes to construct his page on Netscape Composer, a mercifully discontinued software product. It is fairly obvious that either the HTML classes didn't teach good web design principles, or Chris slept through those sections.
The main hub of the Sonichu site is the front page, which has frequently been compared to Time Cube. The comparison isn't entirely unfounded, though Gene Ray at least has an ounce of sanity when it comes to color choices and readability. Like Gene Ray, Chris dumped everything on the front page, all of the content centered. Chris also added things to the page in random places with little thought as to where they would go, and didn't really have the time and energy to update the page. In its later incarnations, the page had mentions of Animal Crossing material, Chris's changes to the comic, and had "Copyright CWC and Nintendo", long after the end of the Miyamoto Saga.
Chris's site also boasted that it was a member of the "Super Sonic Webring"; closer inspection reveals that Chris's site is not listed as a member of the webring, and Chris failed to insert the correct codes (i.e., he failed to put in his member ID, leaving "_SITE_ID_HERE_" in the links) — this simple failure to follow very simple setup instructions may have been why he was not approved as a member, as Webring owners usually checked this. His Fastcounter link is also broken.
Sonichu-Fans (2008)
Sonichu-Fans was a small sub-site of Sonichu.net, created by PandaHalo, and meant for use by Chris's fans. Most of the site's features were never really created. Its most notable feature was "Sonichu fan chat", a Java IRC applet that connected to Rizon's #sonichu channel. In the days following its introduction, Chris appeared in the fan chat in person a few times.
Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack (Early 2009 - May 2009)
- Main article: Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack
After the nuclear winter following the release of Sonichu 8, Chris made a solemn promise not to release any more naughty imagery. Naturally, he had to break this vow when the Sonichu Girls forum members asked nicely. (Actually, they didn't as much ask as they merely happened to exist, and Chris thought up something nice for them.)
Hosting history
Primordial origins (August 2000 - 2007)
The originial incarnation of the Sonichu Site was hosted on the near-legendary free host for crappy personal web pages, Tripod, at http://sonichuchandler.tripod.com/cwcson.htm (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://sonichuchandler.tripod.com/cwcson.htm). As the site was launched back when it was not yet a crime to violate aesthetics and common sense in web design, Chris's page blended right in. Before this, CWC's Pokésite 1 and CWC's Pokésite 2 were hosted on AcmeCity (go.com), another popular host for ineptly cobbled-together personal pages.
Chris even reminisces about his "Sonichu Site Filing Facility Hosted by Tripod" in Issue 10 — not that it makes any frigging sense. It is probably just some sort of a comic-page manifestation of a psychotic break. He even calls this "burning the Tripod bridge". The fact that trolls hacked the site must have been particularly traumatizing to Chris.
In the comic, Chris-Chan Sonichu defeats some bad-acid-inspired devil trolls, moves his files away from Tripod and bombs the crap out of the site, then says "Tripod was weak, in security, and it lacked the support for Flash media, anyway". In truth, Chris's site was hacked entirely due to his weak passwords and sloppy security practices (for example, in security questions, he has put in answers that could be looked up from the web; everyone knows his favorite film). And fascinatingly enough, CWCipedia doesn't support Flash either — otherwise, we'd be thrilled to see what kind of craziness his two HTML classes could inspire him to create in Flash.
sonichu.net (2007 - January 2009)
Established in 2007 sometime after trolls registered sonichu.com (in Christian's words, "nothing but net."). Was hacked at least twice (read: Chris gave out his passwords). Sonichu.net was hacked in January 2009 by Gregg Mays, prompting Chris to show his fangs. The domain was sold on eBay and is currently used to host a parody CWCville homepage. In February 2010, it became a redirect to Meatspin. The parody page can still be accessed at onetruecwcville.net.
sonichu.info (January 2009)
Quickly established in January 2009 to replace sonichu.net, and just as quickly hacked. The site now redirects to sonichu.110mb.com. When the man takes you away, do not resist.
sonichuandrosechu.com (Early 2009 - August 2009)
After a hiatus Chris finally relaunched his site here. It lasted a little longer until he gave his password to Julie with predictable results. This incarnation is most notable for seeing the debut of Chris's official Rule 34 section, Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack. As of August, the website is down.
cwcville.com (April 2009 - May 2009)
After another hiatus, Chris relaunched his site at this new domain on 9 April 2009. Since Chris doesn't know how to manage the mess of links he has created, some remain broken such as the one to Sonichu and Rosechu's Luv Shack, so you'd have to change the domain name to visit it. Da major update he made to this site was to paste his autobiography after it got deleted from Wikipedia.
On 15 May 2009 it was hacked yet again, and featured gay pride imagery and a message that demanded the completion of Sonichu 9. This was later replaced with images of Joshua Martinez and Vanessa Hudgens, some of the pictures suggesting that they have some sort of a relationship. As of August, the website is down. Now it's one of those search sites, and the ads are for dating services.
An archive of the site in all its fugly glory can be found here.
CWCipedia (July 2009 - May 2010)
In late July 2009 Chris finally began to use the CWCipedia, a wiki given to him by Cogsdev so that he could share his version of events with the True and Loyal Fanbase.
It wasn't long before Chris started abusing the free web space provided by using it as his de facto new site; in early August 2009, he had already uploaded every comic and tried to upload the debut album of Christian and the Hedgehog Boys. Most of Sonichu 9, all of Sonichu 10 and the incomplete preview episode of Sonichu 11 were first published in CWCipedia. Chris also used CWCipedia for his Captain's Log and rambling about various characters, both imaginary and possibly real. What he didn't know was that he was sharing shit web space with a wiki full of dang dirty trolls.
The shadowy forces of wiki administration also tried to improve Chris's communications with the outside world by establishing and maintaining the Mailbag; Chris responded to the correspondence for a while, but eventually quit when the questions proved too stressful. CWCipedia also hosted a Twitter feed, in which Chris – predictably enough – failed to produce short and timely updates. However, the nebulous masterminds in the administrative positions also did many things Chris didn't approve of, such as selling ad space for questionable content. How Chris never saw through this, we may never know.
CWCipedia has been locked down twice, first time due to Chris posting unauthorized advertisements, the second time in February 2010 due to DMCA claim by Evan. In March 2010, Mao purchased the CWCipedia for $100, placing it out of Chris's control, at which point trolls vandalized the everliving shit out of it, greatly improving it. WikiSysop, however, decided to ruin everyone's fun and reverted much of the vandalism until May when it was trashed with even greater force. Days later, it was finally given to Alec and Hamsty, who gave the site a complete wipe and are currently producing the Sonichu reboot Chris failed to deliver.
