| From Dante's Divine Comedy, eerily summing up CWCipedia | ||
CWCipedia (not to be confused with the CWCki) is a wiki set up for the sole use of Christian Weston Chandler, as a sort of personal Wiki as opposed to Chris vandalizing the CWCki with his bullshit. Furthermore, it is designed to allow Chris to "get the truth out" as he so desired to do on his Wikipedia profile.
Since its inception, Chris has more or less treated the page as free web hosting, a place to put his comics without having to pay for the resulting bandwidth use. CWCipedia also served as the ultimate test of the use of MediaWiki software and software usability, in that it strove to create a platform that even an autistic manchild/lazy fuck can easily use. Of course, Chris, being a retarded fuckface, still managed to fuck it up from time to time, even with a Sysop holding his hand.
Chris has a tendency to let his mind wander while typing up his entries. For example, in his Sonichu article he ends up going off on a rant explaining what had happened to Kel (even though it didn't involve Sonichu at all), and the fact that Chris himself is the leader of the CWCville Pokémon gym. This leads into Chris describing his supposed gym at length, what Pokémon he has in his team, and his collection of Pokémon in the game (in addition to their level and how he had leveled them). This somehow leads to a fantastically retarded idea for a Pokémon game system that's basically just the holographic projectors from Yu-Gi-Oh, except with Pokémon. After all of that dumbfuckery he gets back to talking about Sonichu again.
The early days
Several months after Chris began using the wiki proceeded without incident. He was able to display his comics and music, share more details of his personal life, reveal more background information about the world of CWCville, and shout his bizarre homophobic rantings from the virtual rooftops in peace. The administrators of the site remained a silent, benevolent force behind the scenes.
Towards the end of 2009, this would change.
CWCipedia advertisements
As 2009 came to a close, CWCipedia's operators ran into financial trouble keeping the site in the black, given the many hits it gets on a daily basis and the profusion of large files held on its servers. To help keep the site up and running for its TRUE and LOYAL fans, the Sysop that maintains the website for Chris turned to selling advertising space on the site. Keep in mind that these ads were all randomly generated by metadata created by Chris and the people browsing his site, not special hand-crafted ads made by trolls. Due to the somewhat complicated laws of the jurisdiction in which the servers reside, ads may only be purchased from within the European Union.
Chris makes NO money from the advertisement revenue. All of it goes to keeping CWCipedia up and running.
Chris responded to these ads with a few complaints to the admin and Jack Thaddeus, who has so far been the only donor who has delivered over €1000, qualifying him to create custom advertisements on the site. In a blog post, Chris hoped that someone within the EU would be able to step up and donate so much money that they'd not only qualify for custom ads, but help to remove the homoerotic ads that appeared on the site (even though most online advertisers give no such heavy-handed preferential treatment to premium advertisers, and indeed, no such stated policy exists in CWCipedia either). Even though it may be tempting for some European fans, the appeal of this opportunity seems limited. You can buy a PS3 for you and your friend with €1000. Or buy three Hex-Boxes. Or four Wiis. Who would pass up such an opportunity?
On 27 December 2009, the ad space, which was previously at the very bottom of CWCipedia's navbar on the left side of the page, was moved to the very top of the navbar. Another ad appeared on Chris's main page beside the logo. On 28 December, Chris flipped out and replaced it with an ad for the his beloved My Coke Rewards program. The Sysop, however, scolded Chris, telling him that he had no control over the ads.
On 30 December 2009 Chris, unable to change the now-protected main page, lashed out the only way he could, by adding a block of text to the bottom of his (already hideously ugly) front page image, declaring that no ads were allowed on that page. In the message he said that he would not remove this block of text until the offending ads were removed from the main page. To put this in perspective, Chris defaced his own website in an attempt to get someone else to stop advertising on it. You can guess how well that worked.
On 2 January 2010, Chris began cluttering the website with his ads again, shilling for Coca-Cola, Avatar and Proposition 8. He took his self-bestowed title of Captain to an absolute extreme, posting the following message to CWCipedia:
| “ | I have another pair of pages for today, and I will answer another Mailbag or two after uploading. But I also have another announcement; Jack thinks he can get away with occupying my Introduction Box with ANY Ad, well I have a few items I fully support as well. I will be placing my own Ads around the Cwcipedia, as I assert My Rights to do so as Captain of this website vessel.
I DO NOT WANT MY ADS REMOVED OR REPLACED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN MYSELF. |
” |
Additionally, Chris posted the following message to his Twitter:
| “ | C.C. Sonichu says:...Removal of Any of ALL of MY Ads is consider Mutiny, and Mutiny will not be tolerated. Stay Safe, and have a good day. | ” |
As to whether or not Jack will receive forty lashes less one for his inevitable insubordination, Chris has no comment.
Due to gay porn ads on the CWCipedia, on 01 February 2010 Chris unleashed a curse upon Mao "Bamboo" Ling, after which he "apologized" to Alec and Evan.
Eventually, on 26 February 2010, Jack Thaddeus returned with an unclickable ad reading "JACK'S BACK" (in text, later converted to a jpeg) and featuring a picture of a man releasing his navy. Chris, surprisingly, never reacted, even though he has a giant homophobic ass.

The Twitter feed
- Main article: Twitter
On 25 December 2009, the WikiSysop added a live Twitter feed to the mailbag. This was short-lived, as on the early morning of the 27th Chris removed it in a fit of rage and added the following note:
| “ | o I will have NO DISCUSSIONS GOING ON BEHIND MY BACK ON MY OWN WEBSITE WHATSOEVER!
I DO NOT SUPPORT YOU GOD DAMN GAYS!!! I F***ING HATE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE THE MAJORITY OF TROLLS WHO MESS WITH ME AND MY LIFE! GO GET YOUR OWN LIFE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!! NO TWITTER ALLOWED!!! |
” |

Exactly five minutes later Chris would create a special page for the Twitter feed, and delete the homophobic outburst quoted above. Chris would create a Twitter account for himself the very next day, regaling his fans with stories of him doing yardwork. The wise and magnanimous Wiki Administrator later put to the feed to the front page of CWCipedia, due to the fact that (ahem) it probably needed some wider exposure.
A history of (un)availability
CWCipedia closed due to aIDS
During the last weeks of 2009, Chris became more infuriated as the gay ads continued piling up. In desperation, Chris began placing ads of his own that didn't inspire uncomfortable questions about his sexuality. The Sysop became furious at Chris's unauthorized interference and warned him that if he didn't remove the ads, serious consequences could happen.
On 2 January 2010, the CWCipedia was served a cease and desist notice by the Coca-Cola Company for its unauthorized use of their logo on the site. Thus, the Sysop was forced to close the website for a few days until the matter could be resolved. Having learned a little first-hand regarding what copyright law is all about, Chris issued an apology on YouTube. In the video he claimed that he thought Coke would appreciate the free advertisement, but he is completely unaware that no self-respecting company would ever want their product to be associated with his website of fail.
Within a few days the site was returned to normal.
CWCipedia closed (again) due to theft
In the early morning of 6 February 2010, the CWCipedia was closed down again, this time thanks to a DMCA request from representatives of Evan George. According to the request, Chris's use of the character Simonla Rosechu on his website and in his comics infringes upon Evan's intellectual property, as Simonla is clearly a derivative of Evan's character Simonchu. This was most likely triggered by Chris's announcement, in a video from 5 February, that he agreed to do away with Simonla and stop featuring her in his comics, but only at an unspecified "later" time.
Three days after the CWCipedia was locked to edits, it was wiped from the internet entirely. In its place appeared a redirect link to Asperpedia; however, due to a bug, it redirected to an online role-playing game, Dogs of the Seas.
CWCipedia lives on
On 12 February 2010, the CWCipedia was revived to a certain extent. Although it was still locked to edits and only a "login required" screen was accessible, it was functional enough for Alec Benson Leary to display the first two pages of "Sonichu Revolution." The next day, Chris fulfilled Evan's request and the CWCipedia was restored for all people to see. "Sonichu Revolution" continued onward from there, prominently featured at the top of every page of the CWCipedia.
On 24 February 2010, a new set of ads appeared on the CWCipedia, calling Chris out on his unwarranted self-importance on his birthday, with a message from Sean imploring fans to give gifts to victims in Haiti instead. The next day, CWCipedia vanished for a couple of minutes for unknown reasons. Likely due to Wild and Simonla's bastard child. When it returned, for a few days visitors were treated to the sight of a series of animated ads featuring gigantic ejaculating cocks, revenge from Jack Thaddeus in response to Chris's execution of the Asperpedia Four at the end of Sonichu 10.
CWCipedia closed due to parody
| “ | Also, you might want to take a look at your site before you go around advertising it... Some pretty vulgar vandalism you have going on there on a majority of pages. | ” |
| Some guy on LittleBigWorkshop. Chris never read this and discovered the vandalism the next day. | ||
Going into March 2010, Chris appeared to lose all interest in updating the site or presenting any meaningful new content. He neglected updating the Mailbag and stopped uploading new comic pages. His only additions to the site in the first three weeks of March were a series of rants directed at trolls and his fans, where he accused them of breaking up his pursuit of the Wallflower and complained that the demand for new Sonichu comics was ruining his life.
On 18 March 2010, CWCipedia was taken down and replaced with a redirect to a parody version of the website run by Mao. The Sysop had decided to allow Mao to buy a permanent redirect for 100 dollars. Since Chris was the captain, he decided to sail the U.S.S. CWCipedia into an iceberg and let it sink, making Jack pull all his funding and forcing the Sysop to shut the site down for good.
CWCipedia opened for everybody
| “ | STOP THIS!!! THIS IS MY DOMAIN, and I WILL NOT HAVE YOU FAGGOTS SCREW IT UP!!! | ” |
| Chris, somewhat upset. | ||
A day later, however, the original CWCipedia returned. At the same time, Mao was given sysop, bureaucrat, and oversight powers on the site, suggesting the arrival of a new "captain" on deck. The result was much good vandalism, most notably on the main page itself, by "Kine", "SEANBOTMK2", "ALECBOTMK2", "EVANBOTMK2", and "Metal Asperchu." Soon, account creation was enabled for all and the website was utterly vandalized in a flurry of genitalia.
CWCipedia closed to outside edits again
Early on 22 March WikiSysop returned to the site after being busy on other projects and quickly reversed everything back to the pre-Mao state of the site. However much of the pictoral vandalism continues to remain in the history of many of the pages, and several pages were not changed back, either due to WikiSysop skipping them over or not caring.
Broken dead
During the early hours of 31 March, the front page of the CWCipedia decomposed into HTML code. This was attributed to the nature of the 110mb server. The true and honest version created by Mao is still up and running.
Resurrection
Whether it was through coincidence or an act of Godbearjesus, the CWCipedia came back on Easter Sunday. It is more likely that some technicians actually worked through the easter weekend just so an autistic manchild can carry on putting up badly drawn comics when he feels like it for his fans.
