| From Dante's Divine Comedy, eerily summing up CWCipedia | ||
CWCipedia (not to be confused with the CWCki) is a wiki set up by the great leader Cogsdev 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. It has been up and running since June 2009.
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. Of course, Chris, being a lazy, retarded, manchild fuckface, still managed to fuck it up from time to time, even with a Sysop holding his hand.
CWCipedia also serves as the ultimate test of the use of MediaWiki software and software usability, in that it strives to create a platform that even an autistic manchild/lazy fuck can easily use.
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 levelled 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 are 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 Cogs and Jack will receive forty lashes less one for their 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.

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.
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 (For Good) Due To Theft
In the early morning of 6 Feburary 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.
