Since this was last asked back in 2006, and the website has gone though quite a few changes since then, I thought it'd be interesting to see how present-day users have discovered Uncyclopedia. MadMax (talk) 17:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

So how did "you" find Uncyclopedia?:

Seriously, I have no memory of how I got here. One day I choose a stupid name, started writing a page, and am still here. But can't remember how I heard of it or why I clicked onto the site. Aleister 17:36 8-4-'13

I actually ran across Encyclopedia Dramatica and thought some of their articles were pretty funny. I forgot what the website was called so to try and find it again the next day I Googled "humor wiki" and found Uncyclopedia. No joke. --EMC ^[TALK] 14:00 Apr 9 2013

I didn't. Uncyclopedia came to me. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:05, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I found Uncyclopedia when I was looking on Google for resources on Asperger's syndrome (I was doing a report). For some reason it pulled up Assburger's syndrome. Then I decided I liked this wiki, and joined. Worst Best decision of my life. ~[ths] UotM 21:37, 04/10/2013

Saw a link on some forum I used to lurk at. Thought it was funny, eventually started editing and finally caved in and signed up a few months later (probably after being banned once or twice. Once by Codeine I'm sure). --Roman Dog Bird (talk) 15:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

So there I was, just minding my own business back in the great year of 2009-ish (yes, that's a valid year), when a stray gang of students appeared during another one of those God-awful keyboarding classes and started looking at this otherworldly-looking Wikipedia with a potato for a logo. (A potato of all things! Are these people lunatics?!) Of course, being the sixth-or-seventh grader I was, I had to check it out for myself. I made the decision to make an account after editing an article about Grand Theft Auto or some garbage like that so that I may continue to resubmit it and get banned for a couple days put it in userspace and continue to edit it until I became mature enough to realize that the page's entire concept was entirely childish garbage, and I've been creeping about the site since, albeit I have not been as active on here as of late. --Gamma287 ☭Tetяis? 20:57, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I sought advice on how to talk to women from google. And came across this. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 05:46, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

It was one of the final steps in my quest for the holy grail. Alas, I forgot about the grail when I read that Jimi Hendrix "invented the electric guitar and LSD", and somewhere there's a very angry European monarch waiting ever-more-impatiently as the years go on and he continues to hear no word on my progress. I've taken to hoping he thinks I'm dead. -RAHB 06:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

I discovered this when I was trying to find funny pictures on google and somehow this showed up. I don't remember what the keyword for this was how I discovered the website. But needless to say, I found this place and I've stuck with it - good times and bad. User:Matthlock/sig2 23:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Shabidoo

I was researching techniques on how to place as many anal beeds as possible up my rectum and after a long night of succesful experimenting I discovered that there are other webpages on-line that deal with things other than playing with yourself. Uncyclopedia was the only non-erotic website I could tollerate, as it seemed clear to me that the whole community are mostly guys who alternate between editing articles and playing with themselves. Its like a happy family! --ShabiDOO 15:38, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

The Internet Chess Club. A member had an amusing Uncyclopedia quote in his finger notes. Don't ask me why they are called finger notes. Maybe they're notes that you should play with your fingers on an instrument. Really, quit bothering me about it. Style  Guide 17:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
