That there is another Uncyclopedia came up in the Forum:Google Banned Uncyclopedia? discussion and I'd like to open up talk about WHAT THE FUCK?! There is nothing about this that isn't a complete rip-off; they even stole our logo. So here's what I want to discuss: do we want to do anything about it? --Sir gwax (talk) 04:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Extort them for ~~drug~~ kitten money? -- Village Idiot♠KUN Free Speech 04:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Nobody cares. It is lame, and contradictory. Their logo is a screen cap jpeg of ours, haha. If we DMCA them we are just whiney bitches like ~~Encyclopedia Dramatica~~. The best thing we can do for them is to keep linking to them and complaining like this, giving tthem more attention. Consider it flattery and ignore the fuck out of it, imho. --Splaka 04:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

bit of history, thats the old uncyclopedia after it was hit by a swarm of admins, it once looked like this uncyclopedia --Da, Y?YY?YYY?:-:CUN ³ NotM BLK |_LG⁸+::: 07:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Forget them, Splaka is right. They only have 11 articles, and they have to "upgrade to premium" to have more than 3 comments on each page + having administratoros, etc. Really, they dont deserve our attention.--Rataube 14:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

LOL @ Uncyclopedia don't you foolz realize what this is? it's a parody of us!--Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 16:01, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Idk, I'd personally like to beat the shit out of them. I realize this would give them alot of attention, but for every little bit of attention they get, we'd get the same. Besides, when we are through with them , they won't exist anymore. It's an obvious copy-vio and we should really show them who's boss and take control.

I'm with Splaka. Why is everyone getting upset about this? It's not like that site is getting hits from anyone but us, right here, whining about how they obviously stole from us. It's actually a compliment that we're now so big, she just mentions us and expects everyone to know who we are. Just like she does with Wikipedia. We're becoming big enough to not have to threaten people who steal from us. Everyone knows we're the big dog online. Anything we do to this pathetic blog lowers our class.--<<

To be honest, their Uncyclopedia looks like an asian blog. In fact, it is --Nytrospawn 20:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you came to my site, isn't it pretty? o_O

I made this site for fun to amuse myself as well as my friends...

When I made this site I was heavily inspired by English Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, the "real" (cough, fake) Uncyclopedia, and the various Asian voices on the internet such as BigBadChineseMama."

Doesn't look like there have been any edits in weeks. I think we're probably safe. Though she does call Chron a "dumb idiot." --—rc (t) 21:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

We need to do something about this. Their aesthetic and appealing design will surely attract members away from here, something we cannot stand for! ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 02:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

At least we can politely ask them to DOT HEAD remove our DOT HEAD logo, not because we would DOT HEAD sue them otherwise, but because it's just DOT HEAD immoral and unfair. - Letting them have the logo is too DOT HEAD far. Sikon 05:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

And DOT HEAD change DOT HEAD the DOT HEAD name. --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] DOT HEAD 19:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

In my time on the interweb, I have seen thousands of sites be born and then rot, quickly turning into a useless pile of moldy electrons. I personally have made a bunch of sites which did just this. Looking at the site you have lined to, I see the same thing. It doesn't matter if they've taken this entire website and re-hosted it - nobody is going to continue to pay for web hosting and a domain for a site that nobody visits.

What makes Uncyclopedia so successful is that I haven't managed to ban everybody yet. I'll get there someday, when I have more time, but for now, Uncyclopedia will continue to grow and flourish, against my will. Now excuse me while I take the many lessons I have learned from the waves of barbarians from the east we have had here, and go make some...improvements to that website...

When I first saw this, I was going to suggest that we mention to them that their name was already taken by us, and that they need to change their name, but it seems they also stole our logo!! Obviously, they copied us being fully aware that we already existed! I say we wage 'all out WAR against these plagiaristic bastards! --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] 18:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we ought to put a link to them right on our main page. 503 error: bandwidth limit exceeded! --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] 19:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Firefox Googlebar(c) tells me that the fake Uncyclopedia has a page rank of 0. In comparison to real Uncyclopedia's 6 (and my website's 2), we could be even more mean and never speak of/link to them again. Let it die in obscurity.--(~Sir)Nuke || Talk v MUN v Not An Admin v Completely Unimportant 03:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Has anyone started an article about this? If not I'd like to. I know, this will give the attention whore who started the other Uncyclopedia undeserved attention, but who cares? The best thing to do is have fun with this. --Naughtius Maximus F@H Woof! MeowMUN 03:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
