The new home is en.uncyclopedia.co. Press release with reasons, old site move thread, new site move thread. I need to go through and copy all my old UnNews to NewsTechnica too.
Can you correct the “new site move thread” link?
D’oh! Fixed.
Feel free to treat the stuff we co-wrote as entirely yours.
As much as I respect Wikia (yes, really), they are far too advertisement- as opposed to information-orientated these days. Oh, and the fantastic News Technica is criminally underpopulated of late [:(], but the UnNews stuff will no doubt breathe new life to it. :)
Rock on.
Yeah, I stopped writing NewsTechnica because it basically had very few readers for the amount of work, and I couldn’t quite get the knack of writing pieces that really had legs (with exceptions, like the BitCoin piece). I did finally get money from ContextWeb, though! $50 for about a year and a half of ads! Almost all of which are PSAs hence $0 – they seem to sorta lack inventory in the UK. So now NT is strictly as I feel inspired. Bumsex.
Wikia is lovely for what it is, and Uncyclopedia still loves Sannse, but “it’s not me, it’s you” is still about right.
I do worry the new team have underestimated costs and overestimated funding – hosting a moderately popular MediaWiki is not so cheap. There’s a reason Wikia has all those ads. But we shall see.
