    The cwcki probably doesn't get attacked anywhere near as much.

    It might be a huge leap to consider, but I think the CWCki's departure from 1776 Hosting unlocks opportunity to reform their policies in the same ways as the CWCki Club is doing: the reforms could include (but not limited to) reviewing the pronouns for Chris and other transgender people involved, especially at a time when transphobia is undeniably coming under immense scrutiny.

    I think the Sonichu community is in very big trouble, with the sealing of the legal case and the fallout from the Keffals incident. I think we can no longer ignore the immense scrutiny we have been getting, after four years with 1776 Hosting.

    I think we reluctantly need to have a serious conversation about the future direction of the CWCki.

    I don't think there's any one "Sonichu community", although I take it you mean people who keep up with the failings of "Honor Roll"? A trait in common doesn't always a "community" make.

    As for this site and the wiki, I think it'd be best if it remains politically neutral.*

    Being politically neutral should come as a no-brainer honestly. Chris is made fun of for being a bible bashing weirdo who hates african anericans and gays, while being made fun of for listening to weird music so he could grow a vagina.
    If you're laughing at chris while cherry-picking his political views, you're laughing for the wrong reason.

    Understood. I think my wording was lazy because of a sleepless night for no reason, but yes I mean making sure the CWCki is politically neutral, after four years of being hosted with an "edgy" site.

    After talking with @ToroidalBoat, I apologise for being unclear with the term "Sonichu community", although it is very easy in the age of rumours for people to assume that all X are Y, which was in my mind when I made the previous reply.

    Lol don't worry about it. It's just an odd term to define people who just got involved with lolcow stuff, although at this point lolcows and related media are all pretty mainstream anyway.

    I'm pretty much all for this, and not even just on the political side. It's a pretty odd shift in tone, but I think it's actually necessary more than ever to keep everything neutral and objective on the CWCki as much as possible now. CWC is no longer a niche Internet topic only a handful of people know about. It's an Internet phenomenon that's basically a requirement to know about these days, especially because of the consistent orbiter waves. Considering that, it's not really that ideal to talk about whether or not what Chris or any of his oribiters did or believed is right or wrong, considering how morally gray all of it is at the end of the day.

    IDK what you'd mean by the Sonichu Community being in trouble anyways. His court case being sealed doesn't mean the results won't eventually come to light, and it's not like we're going to get arrested just because Chris gets talked about online.

    Twitter might criticize us but Twitter also gossips about Chris.

    Marvin (The Man in the Pickle Suit) owns the Cwcki. I guess he finally had enough of Joshua's shit and moved the site as far away from his control and influence as much as possible.

    I think it had more to do with the host service being under attack for so long.

    I honestly don't know too much about his relations with Null, but I'm fairly certain he did it because he had no other choice. The 1776 host, which other "edgy" websites also run on, was effectively taken down.

    The CWCki doesn’t go out of its way to poke the hornets nest and Marvin isn’t going to be a freeze peach martyr. It’s probably going to be fine.

    Just in time too: someone in the Twitter mob with a business connection got KF offline'd yet again.

    (KF may go back up after the weekend, but the CWCki is still up.)

    For the record: https://archive.ph/iytZ6
    Seriously, the Internet Archive should have done what DDoSecrets does, and the use of the Progress Pride flag indicates that the latter isn't remotely edgy.
