A question

I'm not posting this on the CWCipedia itself, because, ahem, I'm unaware of the community rules of that site. It seems to me that Chris is the only real user - shouldn't user registration and anonymous editing be disabled? (howto) And why isn't Chris a Sysop? If one wants to test the MediaWiki's suitability, as this article claims, we should give the user a little bit more tools. =) Just don't give him Oversight. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 11:46, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

  • CWCipedia is the wiki that only CWC can edit. Myself and Cogs share sysop privileges because Chris has no fucking clue how a wiki works and he sure as hell doesn't know how/want to do boring shit like categorize things, make templates, etc. (just like this wiki, lol).We've more or less told Chris "Chris! Here's a page like Wikipedia all to yourself and nobody can ban you or anything! Knock yourself out" There's a reason why this looks like his old website, it's because to him this is just the new incarnation of it.
The idea that only Chris can edit it is so we here on CWCki have an accurate and public source that can be cited in articles and it's in a format that is easy for Chris to use and edit. The Wikipedia article was a goldmine of information, now Chris has an entire wiki to do this and he can go crazy with it.
But yeah, there's no way to register for CWCipedia, and no one can edit anonymously. --Champthom 18:05, 30 July 2009 (CEST)
Ah, so the stuff is disabled. I was confused because the login button says "Login/Create account". I forgot that old MediaWiki version show that whether or not accounts can be created and didn't actually check if I can see a reg form. New MW versions just say "Login" if account creation is disabled. Oh well. Oh, and a side note - just a few days ago, I was wondering "what would happen if people hinted to Chris that Chris would probably be very welcome in Conservapedia (the wiki for Good Patriotic Christians)"... and boom, we suddenly got CWCkipedia. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 22:48, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

A Concern

I understand where you're coming from by giving Chris this tool, but considering the current issue of space, I wonder whether hosting it on the same 110mb account is wise. I noticed he's uploading his songs as you can see here which are going to eat up space really fast. He's also uploading the entire comic series at full resolution which unnecessarily violates the limit (is that even enabled on his side?) and if I'm not mistaken, we already have them on this side right? Duplicating these is also going to eat up a great deal of space as well.

Lastly, I hope you made sure he has a secure password. I don't know how many of the previous account hacks were done by individuals, but I'm sure this new Chris-only wiki will be a prime target for newfags wanting to prove their 1337 5k!11z. --Whoreos n' Milf 20:16, 31 July 2009 (CEST)

  • Actually, we don't really have any of the comics here though cogs hosts an old mirror site of the old Sonichu.net circa November 2008. Cogs has reassured me that we do have enough space but if does become a serious issue with Chris, we'll subtly redirect the media links to RapidShare or some site like that.
I'm not sure Chris really understands the concept of webspace. I know the concept of HD space isn't foreign to him, as he wishes they made bigger HDs for his PS3 so he can download more crap, but I'm guessing on his old space he got some unholy amount of space and since it was just him, he knocked himself out. He has a vague idea that Cogs hosts other sites but he assumes that Cogs can worry about space.
Also, pretty much the way Chris's accounts were hacked where that they were either given to someone (in the form of "Hey Chris, can I have your password?" "SURE, IT'S ______ I LOVE YOU [X]!") or because Chris had an insanely easy password recovery question ("What is the name of your favorite pet?" "What is your favorite book?" and shit Chris has blabbed out over 9000 times). If someone tries to reset Chris's password, they'd have to get into ChrisChanSonichu@aol.com and that, my friend, will be tricky. --Champthom 00:57, 1 August 2009 (CEST)
  • All right then, might I suggest having Chris set up a MediaFire account to put his music on. Someone could explain the site space limit like a memory card that only has 110mb and we need to stretch it as far as possible. MediaFire on the other hand is free and allows single files up 100mb with unlimited storage space and bandwidth. Plus he could set a custom url such as www.mediafire.com/CWC for people to go to to download his TRUE and HONEST works.
But enough of me touting a sharing serice, what I came to mention is an error on the CWCipedia. I'm guessing the mistake of having the page 1 of Issue 10 next button linking to page 2 of Issue 0 is probably from copying the same template pages for each issue and just changing the links and this got missed. Anyway, my guess is Chris wouldn't know what's wrong and probably wouldn't notice it anyway so is there a page here dedicated to contacting the sysops regarding problems on the other side?
Also, 110mb is a free hosting service right? if Chris realizes what else is being hosted on cogsdev, well, shit'll hit the fan big time. Maybe we should create a different domain for him, sort of a 'not putting all our eggs in one basket' type of situation. This way he won't be interfering with CWCki space. --Whoreos n' Milf 06:24, 1 August 2009 (CEST)

A Reputable Source?

Alright, so maybe we can't expect anything reliable from Chris's mouth, and he is lazy as all fuck, but his "In his own words" article references Ivy as his sweetheart in the present tense. I know that article in particular was a copy-paste job, but what are we really reading here? I've read survivalist neo-fascist manifestos that make more sense. On the other hand, we're getting all kinds of primo new bullshit material, so I guess it's a wash? CDiddles 08:58, 8 August 2009 (CEST)

  • Since this is a valid point, in general (how can we be sure of anything Chris says to be true?), I'll address it. There's some truth to what Chris says though. Stuff Chris says, however warped and twisted, is still more or less reputable because there's usually some truth compared to us assuming things or speculating. Point is, if we started to assume Chris wasn't a reputable source, then our CWCki would just be an entire wiki of people speculating shit and that's not encyclopedic.
Yeah, Chris has a warped view of things where it comes to him, and in some cases he's too lazy to revise things. But there's usually some truth in what Chris says and so CWCipedia, is for the most part, a reputable source. But given Chris, it gives Chris's take on things, giving insight to how he views the world, and gives us impetus to double check with any outside information we have. For instance, Chris will babble on about how he was a volunteer gym leader at The Game Place and how everyone but Michael Snyder loved him and he was a positive influence. I actually managed to hunt down Mimms and asked him about this. Turns out Chris was a volunteer gym leader - for one week, when the regular guy was out. Otherwise, Chris was a liability and a pest at The Game Place.
tl;dr - CWCipedia is the best new source of stuff straight from Chris and it gives us some insight into his head. --Champthom 09:22, 8 August 2009 (CEST)
