So... Did Wikipedia actually change itself up? And other obvious discussion points. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 17:32, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, we talked about this earlier, and I think the decision was to do nothing, because everything is perfect as it is. Therefore, Wikia will probably change it later (since, honestly, our current format makes no sense), which will naturally spawn outrage from the masses. But seriously, our current format just doesn't make sense anymore. In related news, Wikipedia's new format looks like crap.--<<>> 20:12, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think what Brad is trying to say here is that everything sucks. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 22:15, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Especially Wikipedia's new format. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:21, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

The one really really good thing we have here that wikipedia doesn't have (unless they've changed it or there's a way to get it I don't know of, anyone?) is the in-text editing link list. When looking for a link here, and two or three letters are typed, the ghost in the machine gives you a list of options. So many times I've edited wikipedia and had to go to the search box to look for a proper link. Kudos to whoever brought that in here. The one thing wikipedia has which I wish we had are the counts of how many people a day/month click on a page. Chance of that here? Al sans chains 23:27 1 6 mmx

I think we used to have that, but keeping a count was hitting the server too hard. Or something. I honestly don't remember the explanation. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 00:36 Jun 02, 2010

Fuck no

If you want retarded formatting, let's just copy ?pedia. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 00:24, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

I take offence to that, just kidding ~ Readmesoon 00:41, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Please don't link to illogicaliedia in a sig., unless I'm wrong. Is that OK here? Al des chains 00:47 2 6 MMX

Wrong about what, being able to get into my pants ~ Readmesoon 00:48, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Your pants do intrique me. But I don't know if a sig link to an outside site is "allowed". Mainly because of what cookies and things someone might be saddled with. Is it a safe site? I've honestly never looked at it. You have a good page here, and why don't you come back and write with us? Al des chains 2 6 MMX

?pedia and Uncyclopedia's userbases overlap tremendously. It was started by Uncyclopedians in the first place. So yeah, it's fine. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 00:52 Jun 02, 2010

Didn't know that. I'll take a look at Readmesoon's page there. Thanks. Al des chains 00:54 2 6 MMX

Wait, come back here? Pah. It's a miracle I just edited here at all. What was left of my brain has already been sucked in by the rather-suckish vacuum called ?pedia. ~ Readmesoon 00:56, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

?pedia is great. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 01:09, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Just looked around, a fun site. Readmesoon is a bush shaker there, nice. And he nommed A Wizard did it, so that's cool. But here's the thing: I talked above about counts of hits on pages. On each page on ? they have at the bottom: "This page has been accessed # times" There, they have a count! But my server did stick a few times and it took longer to load. What are some of the real good pages there? I read Snowman, good article. Al des chains 1:14 2 6 MMX

You can always check out the features, but otherwise they're sorta of just scattered around the site. ~ Readmesoon 01:27, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Whoa, Uncyclopedians laughing at ?pedia humour. Didn't see that one coming ~ Readmesoon 23:53, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Drugs schmugs. It's all about bottled dirt, nowadays, or at least that's what the kids call it. ~ Readmesoon 05:26, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Go to basics.

Goa Tse Clan says: Go back to basics before starting to look like ED and Wikipedia. First off, we should change the UnBooks logo. It's old. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Pinoy CUN|IC Kill | 12:37, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

I remember back when it was just UnBook. Good times. Also,

I'm going to post this pic everytime I see ED mentioned in the forums. It's a nice pic of my Pa'. *sniff*, I miss Pa'. Went out for smokes and never came back, he did. Plus, since headers don't appear to be length-limited, I can just ramble on about whatever comes to mind. Which is nice. The rambling, I mean...

ED; large and in charge, probably. I haven't been there in a while. Not since that picture of my butt exploded on the scene. Not literally. (Okay, literally).

Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 12:40, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

What did he say about ED? I think I heard things about ED... Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 17:24, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Modusoperandi, how many times I have to tell you that your father is a murderer? And still, UnBooks logo needs to be changed into this:

It looks like this
