Chris's First Interview
I noticed on Talk:Chris-chan_Discusses... you asked for someone to mirror Chris's first interview on Youtube. I know that was a while back, but as far as I can tell no one has actually done it yet, so I went ahead and did it for you [1]. I hope you're pleased. --That Man 23:10, 27 December 2009 (CET)
- just noticed a while ago that it's aleardy been uploaded by The CWCville Library. I have no clue how I was so oblivious to that. --That Man 03:26, 28 December 2009 (CET)
- I didn't notice this either, thank you for telling me about this though and I appreciate your effort anyways.
- Also can't seem to find it on the CWCvilleLibrary...could you possibly post a link?--Champthom 07:49, 28 December 2009 (CET)
Thanks, Champthom

New Hotness for Videos
Take a look at this template for videos that User:NeoShadow made; it's really sweet. It can wrap around videos (in the middle of the page, where they are now) or it can be used as a sidebar.
- Template: Template:Infobox/video
- Centered example: User:Neoshadow/sandbox/Sonic_Sweepstakes
- Sidebar example: User:Neoshadow/sandbox/Sonic_Sweepstakes2
Thoughts? It's been on the to do list for a while now, and we could get one or the other in place pretty quickly. The big question is which placement to use, and general style questions vis-a-vis the way it looks. Let us know! --Dude 09:43, 3 January 2010 (CET)
- I really like it, but there was some debate (I need to see where) over the usage of video infoboxes, as some people argued it's unnecessarily replicates information one can gleam from the article. However, I think your centered example might solve that as this is ultimately what we can use to replace just pasting the video in Video sections of articles. I think the "Made by" would be useless in 99% of situations (with the very few videos made by other people, such as the Watch and Win one, or the videos by Scarlet). Personally I like your infoboxes, but I'm not sure if everyone else likes it elsewhere.
- Best I'd do is mention this in the community portal. As I said, I think your centered example might be very useful and a nicer display than just a YouTube video in the video section. --Champthom 12:11, 3 January 2010 (CET)
- This add-on is useless and redundant if you ask me. There's nothing new here you can't read in the introduction of the video, in the video navigation bar and I don't see the need for the "Festive" icons. I respect the efforts but I am a K.I.S.S.-Type of guy. Griffintown 15:02, 3 January 2010 (CET)
IMPOSTORS
Hey Champ, this is the "dude" from the old CWCki... somebody claimed my nick in the three hours between Cogs fixing the captcha and me checking back in =( Is there anything we can do about this? I can still log into the old CWCki to prove my TRUTH and HONESTY, and I used the same email signing up here (this account) and there (the old "dude"). --Umad 05:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'll consult with Cogs later tonight, as I'm not sure if we can kick this other "Dude" off and have you have his nickname, especially given that it's an extremely generic name someone could have chosen (like Anonymous or Nobody or some name like that) or if we can do this, if it is right in doing so. Now I am concerned that people might try to leech off the fame of others by signing up for accounts of previous CWCki users, either to jump start their e-fame or as a way of trolling, so I'll need a second opinion. If anyone wants to weigh in on the matter, by all means do so. --Champthom 10:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's pretty generic, but at the same time, I only signed up around October, so it wasn't generic enough to be taken by then. I am kind of surprised that somebody snapped it up so quickly, since I was pretty actively trying to get it back myself. I suppose it could be innocent, but it's still kind of frustrating. Thanks for looking into it. --Umad 14:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
can you give him the account back. i didn't know. i didnt think dude was gona be available, i though i got lucky. didnt mean to steal it, ill make another one Dude 00:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- No problem Dude (see what I did there?). Okay, here's how this will go down - new Dude, when you get a new account, AIM or message me in IRC when you do. I will merge your current account into your new one. That will free up the username "Dude" and old Dude can register that way. rpoblem oslved. If there's any problems, you guys let me know because then I have to resort to Plan B. --Champthom 01:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- New Dude has been inactive for about a week now... can I get my account back? --Umad 17:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- The new Dude needs to contact me so I can merge his old account into the new one, thus freeing up "Dude." If he doesn't respond in 24 hours or so, then contact me and I'll reset the password and give it over to you. --Champthom 04:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

- Well I was going to ask you to help upload images but people got onto that which is good.--Champthom 21:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Coolio. On Another note, don't bother restoring my Jerkop status. I don't need it now seeing as how images have a MUCH higher ceiling. I'll stick around to improve articles and help people with images if they need it. --Fuckingstupid 10:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I accept. Should I simply sign up for an account on Asperpedia and get started or what? --Fuckingstupid 09:19, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

A new Mailbag bombing
Well, our dear Christian has now started giving a copy paste reply as his new method of rejection. And hes done it to Mike Jackson's widow. We had a quick discussion about that in the talk page, and we thought it'd be an idea for another mailbag thats just filled entirely with letters about this one subject. Like how we had a whole mailbag asking about Asperchu and stuff like that? I thought we could have another of those; Only this time have an entire mailbag of people calling him out for being such a prick and for still not properly ansewing letters. What do you think Champ? --Edward 18:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- To amend that idea, I suggest having Sysop inform him of another pending legal issue that can only be averted if he gives full replies to each email--he can't use the "Inputed" response or delete the whole thing and replace it with a general response or else the site goes down again or something.--MoarLurk 19:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. We need some sort of cover from him rejecting it in any way. --Edward 20:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Jerkops Anonymous
Hey, Champthom. I've been in the mood to move a page or two recently, but my jerkop privileges were abolished with the move to CWCki 2.0. Would you mind reinstating them? Llort 03:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Summaries
Ok, so I will check. I've started trying to sort and format the summaries for each of the Mumbles, and it's March Mumble Madness, but I seem to have contradicted instructions (as I discovered having worked on ALL of them), by listing rather than writing a narrative. What is it you want exactly, so I can get on it ASAP. --YawningSquirtleRedux 04:11, 18 March 2010 (UTC)22:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Userboxes
Is it cool for users to make new rewards\userboxes, like the Grammar Nazi and Assburgers ones, for instance? Some wikis I've edited on don't like for you to make new ones due to space or whatnot, and others let you go crazy with it. Just want to check beforehand. BubblegumPinkButler 03:22, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's alright, just don't go too crazy by making a kajillion of them. Some of the useboxes, like the Jerkop, Admin, etc. are obviously protected and it's poor taste to award yourself awards like the Order of the Pickle, etc. --Champthom 04:44, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
April Fool's Day
Since its going to be april fools day when the ultimatum expires why dont we just shut down for 1 day and let chris think he's won. I mean worst that can happpen is he forgets about us, or the best is that he actually makes a "victory over cwcki" vid.
and then bring it back on the 2nd with a big fuck you chris
user: DKD 15.13 GMT 31.3.10
- No. That's stupid. Chris will make a "HA HA I GOT U TROLLS" video and quit paying attention to us because he thinks we are gone. If we stay up, we will have our own FUCK YOU CHRIS simply because we're not down. This will make Chris angry, and angry Chris is funny.--MoarLurk 14:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Never compromise, even in the face of
ArmageddonApril Fool's Day. Also, in the future, make a sub heading (it's two equal signs, then your text, followed by two equal signs). --Champthom 17:32, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
This makes me worry now. What if Chris is pulling a long, convoluted April Fools prank, possibly the idea of a white knight? --Zehnfragezeichen 16:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Don't be silly. The only White Knight who he listens to is Rocky, and even then, only just barely. And whats the chances that a church counsellor is going to come troll us? I think we're safe. Its almost certain that his plan consists of 'blank pages' and 'try to find and stab the webmaster' --Edward 16:32, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- Champ's got the rage. Dan, would that actually get to Chris? Seems to me it wouldn't bother him that much. Also seems he's making himself trollproof by becoming detached from us. Thoughts? --YawningSquirtleRedux 23:04, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- He's not trollproofing himself at all, he's just fighting the urge to go online and complain about things. This is exactly like when we got him to make the comic--he was really diligent about it and when he missed a day he usually made up by posting two comics on the next. Flash forward two months and he's only releasing it in short bursts. He'll be back on his own in that time--less if he thinks Sonichu is being threatened. I suggest that someone put up an ad on CWCipedia that states that Chris has declared all Asperpedia comics cannon within the Sonichuverse. Or something about how Chris risks losing the "copyright" if he doesn't make visible use of it for more than two months.--MoarLurk 23:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- I'm not sure, he didn't even seem too angry when he discovered the Cwcipedia was devastated (now THAT would've been an April Fool's Day joke). Could it be that he's becoming numb to it? We've done almost everything we can to slander him, his family, and Sonichu. We've set up "sweethearts" toyed with him and, albeit inadvertently, brought about the end of his last IRL gal-pal. We sent the health department to his house, without effect, and have parodied Sonichu and Chris himself. What else CAN we do to this guy? --Caboose -1 23:17, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- We didn't call the health department on him and he never learns from his mistakes. We do it again and again. He's not getting desensitized at all, actually. We know most of his buttons now, we've just got to know when to push them. Oh, and every now and then Chris will do something to troll himself, and that's always worth a laugh.--MoarLurk 23:27, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- But it's getting kind of cyclical, Chris gets a new sweetheart, he get's in love mood, phone calls are leaked, get lulzy videos and then, someone manages to anger him, he spews some death threats, then the sweetheart leaves/reveals as troll/dies and then we have sulk Chris, then he completely forgets about it and we have the smug Chris, and in between all that he makes a rant video once in a while. Pretty much we have seen everything chris has to offer for trolling.Basgon 04:26, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Artist for hire
I would be pleased to help by uploading pictures on the CWCki. The problem is that I don't know where to start. There was a page with the needing drawings but it wasn't updated in quite a while. I talked to Cogsdev on the irc #sonichu and was referred to you. I'm not new to the Cwcki, but I only registered only today. Here's an example of what I can do, if it's good enough: http://cogsdev.org/cwcki/File:Sonee_2.jpg --Blacksky01 23:10, 13 april 2010
- I'd say that the Artist Commune for requested images is still current, so you can still try there. I'd say that the Mumble chats could use illustrations, mostly of illustrations to go with notable quotes from the chat.--Champthom 03:29, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- Here's a pic for the IRC(16 october 2008) with 2 notable quotes from it. Since I'm not sure how to add it in a good way, I'll leave it to you.

Transcription Category
What are your views on a category for all articles containing transcriptions? It would make them easier to locate for maintenance or general interest IMO. --Anonymax 22:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Question About Templates
Hey, I recently uploaded the 4 templates Observer, Warrior, Hero, and Legend. I was wondering what I should do with them( I'm not the best at using Wikis). Should I move them somewhere, edit them, etc.? Also, since you deleted two of the category pages, I was wondering if I should restore those or delete the other two. Sorry if there are any problems. --Alcoholic Legend 03:10, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, also, just wanted to tell ya that I restored the two category pages for now (now all 4 are up instead of just 2/4). If you want me to change/move anything, I'll gladly do it. Just tell me what to do and I'll get it done. : ) --Alcoholic Legend 06:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Old Cats
As part of a revamp of userboxes and their categories, there's a lot of now unused categories prefixed with "List of" that need to be deleted forever. Can you fix? --Anonymax 05:16, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- There's a few more List of... categories that need nuking. You might have just got hand cramp or something :) --Anonymax 17:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion, moving and er, shit
To do with the Twitter stuff. I remember you saying something about Jerkop powers not extending to moving/deletion. Can I? --YawningSquirtleRedux 10:55, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
On a related note, I made a mistake on an article I created and I'm trying to move it to my Userspace. Can you help me with this? I don't see a move option anywhere so I'm assuming only admins can do it. Bill Lumburg 03:58, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking care of that. Bill Lumburg 04:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
New Performance Style
Made this and applied it to a few pages after discussion that in the latest video none of the templates reflected the performance style (unadulterated smugness). Probably should have run it by you before I added it to a load of videos, sorry about that. :(
- The template has been named incorrectly (Should not have the .png). The icon doesn't seem to match the style of the others - most notably the eyes. And I personally still don't think comeuppance is the right name we should give the template, but that's just me. --Anonymax 13:02, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Video Template
So I made a change to the video template last night which inserts a linked version of Chris's name on video templates when someone puts |maker= Chris. Do you think that since the template is intended for Chris videos, we can just make the maker default to displaying Chris's name and drop the |maker= line for most uses of the template - retaining the option to include it if we need to override it? I need to run this past someone before I start rolling it out.
Oh and I'm considering making the template parameters lowercase, as is common with templates. I could implement a way for the template to accept both while I transition each use of the template to use lowercase. Worth doing? (Some of the parameters are already lowercase - messy!) --Anonymax 21:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

A jerkop resignation letter
It appears that my furry background is raising a stir in /cwc/, and some people don't want me to post there. It does, however, bring another thing in my mind. I'd ask you to remove my jerkop bit. There's two reasons for this: First, if not having furries in positions of power helps some of the trolls to sleep better in the night, this course of action would help them. Secondly - and this is a far, far bigger reason - I'm not actually using the block/delete powers much, and having an account that needlessly has such powers is obviously a computer security risk. I don't think losing those rights would affect me that much as CWCki editor; I'm more concerned about site security and user happiness. Respectfully, --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 16:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- I need to discuss this with Cogs first. I appreciate your selfless concern for the site but I'll be damned if /cwc/ tells me or Cogs how to run this site. What you do outside the CWCki is nobody's damn busy, to be honest. You are one of the finest CWCki editors we have, particularly because you have experience editing Wikipedia and I will not let you be intimidated by Internet fucktards at least on the CWCki. --Champthom 16:40, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- Understood. I just have to add that this is one of those "last nail in the coffin" type things; like I said, the security issue is, in my opinion, far more important than the troll reaction. I'm thinking of all that ruckus that was caused by the hacked sysop accounts in Wikipedia a year or two ago. So please, if a policy needs to be made, it should be made on the security grounds, not trolling grounds. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 17:47, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
- I saw the thread on the /cwc/ you are referring to. In my humble opinion, you shouldn't give them any power over what you do. If you identify with a paticular group on the internet, it's not important. You seem to be an important editor to this fine Wiki, so having a bit of power can't be wrong in your case. The opinions expressed by the "members" of the /cwc" imageboard aren't worth anything on the CWCkie. Also, an hacking attemp on your account seems highly unlikely if you don't let any clues on your password. But it's only my opinion on the matter, it ain't worth all that much.--Blacksky01
- I know. The whole situation in the thread was ridiculous. Me making the teensy bit of a mistake of being a namefag (I knew the pain threshold was low, but sheesh), people spamming the thread with the (admittedly awful) drawings I drew years ago. (Careful readers might know that I specifically made a promise not to "spread the cancer" here. It applies to /cwc/ as well. But if the /cwc/ people wish to repost the godawful drawings, that's their headache.) The only real effect the thread has had on me, personally, is that I've tried to objectively evaluate some of the things that actually do suck: I mopped my user page of the rambling and put it in subpages, replaced some of the drawings on my home page (damn, those were old and awful) and I have to rethink the promotion strategies for my webcomic, since that is obviously not working. I still stand by the security concerns, but if Champ and Cogs don't think it's an issue, then I promise to not use the block/delete tools for anything heinous, as was the case before. =) --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 14:02, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- I saw the thread on the /cwc/ you are referring to. In my humble opinion, you shouldn't give them any power over what you do. If you identify with a paticular group on the internet, it's not important. You seem to be an important editor to this fine Wiki, so having a bit of power can't be wrong in your case. The opinions expressed by the "members" of the /cwc" imageboard aren't worth anything on the CWCkie. Also, an hacking attemp on your account seems highly unlikely if you don't let any clues on your password. But it's only my opinion on the matter, it ain't worth all that much.--Blacksky01
- Understood. I just have to add that this is one of those "last nail in the coffin" type things; like I said, the security issue is, in my opinion, far more important than the troll reaction. I'm thinking of all that ruckus that was caused by the hacked sysop accounts in Wikipedia a year or two ago. So please, if a policy needs to be made, it should be made on the security grounds, not trolling grounds. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 17:47, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Trouble in Asperpedia
I've just gotten confirmation that the recent confusion in Asperpedia is being caused by vandals [2]. Now I know you've got no power over at Asperpedia, but if they've taken the admin accounts there's nothing they can really do, and I was hoping you might have connections with someone who could help take the site back.

- Well if it's a trick, its still pissing me off. I just made a project proposal to him and he answers by deleting all the fan content. Bill Lumburg 18:05, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Have you considered the possibility he is TROLLING YOU BACK? --Champthom 18:07, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Not if he was destroying everyone else's fan content. That's just too extreme for trolling one person. Bill Lumburg 18:09, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Admins can undelete deleted content so it could be an elaborate troll. --Anonymax 18:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm aware of that, in fact my first thought was that Mao was taking a piss all over me, until I saw he was deleting the entire fan portal and not just my content. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. Bill Lumburg 18:36, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Wait, your telling me that this is the actual Mao doing this? --Edward 19:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
As Champ said, you cannot rule that possibility out knowing Mao's traits. --Anonymax 19:04, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I never thought Mao would do something like this. This is extreme even for him. And he's deleting Asperchu too. And he's talking about /b/ and people's passwords. And the toher admins are acting like that too. --Edward 19:06, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk pages
I think we should start looking at temporary bans for user who continue to use article talk pages for personal discussion. It's out of control. --Delabonte 03:19, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
