"At all costs"? Like handing over your firstborn to Google or something?

This place is hardly the British Library when it comes to content, I think the Uncyclopedia has more relevant information in it really. The Internet is probably not missing much if our words of wisdom are a bit hard to find.

It might be nice to make more use of the topic archive forum though... it's not been used since 2006. It'd be a handy place to move the giant threads when they become a bit too large.

I dunno, I bet the British Library has a few copies of Readers Wives stashed away, an all. :D

Heh yeah, except http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Jesusland which was Kemper_Boyd's creation and was spawned on Yakyak.

It's good to know we invented a meme

That shit went viral. It was New York Times too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesusland#Origin wrote:Origin

The original image was created on November 3, 2004 by G. Webb, a poster on yakyak.org, an Internet message board for fans of the work of Jeff Minter (see the original discussion). It quickly became an internet meme, which The New York Times described as an "instant Internet classic".[2]

So, what we're saying is that we need more memes. Which infect and infest the internet-o-sphere to draw the unthinking content hungry corpse-eyed puppet people onto this site, and then we can somehow profit from it. Perhaps sell them a fantastic future of something or other with fur on. Stick an Arduino in it, a webserver and a clock and I'm sure it will become the most sucessful thing since missing a letter c out of success.

We could go WoTR and close the place to unregistered people; that'd show the dirty outsiders what we thought of them.

So we're linked as a source on wikipedia? Isn't that going to be better than being on Google anyway once China hack it to destruction? :)

I'm quite suprised that someone hasn't editted out the yakyak link from Wikipedia... you know, just in case.
