| It was then that Cyde, upon one ] night after a ], discovered the ]. | |||
| ], this was the first step towards ]. | |||
| Cyde ] towards adminship by ] ] and the rest of ], that granted him ] ]. Since it's ] that the requisites for being a ] are being ], a ] (see ] and ]), and/or ] (see ]), it was obvious that his lonely childhood had left him ]. By becoming an admin at the greatest page ], as ]s have determined, Cyde obtained ] ammounts of ] and ] over every single other user in not only Misplaced Pages, but ] itself. Such is the fate of a ] admin -- one who forgets that being on a special ] does not erase fucktardery. | |||
| In ] so much ] this adminship means to him, that it seems to be the ''only'' trait worth of recognition according to his user page, which goes like this: | |||
| "''I am an '''administrator''' on Misplaced Pages. I'm mostly interested in anything having to do with ], including but not limited to, ], ], ], ], ], and ]. I'm also interested in ], mostly because of the ] influence on ] it's been having lately. I am an unabashed ].''" | |||
| Needless to say, ] soon followed. | |||
| ==The Great Userbox Drama== | |||
| ] ever again]] | |||
| Since Cyde never ], he lashes out on the entire Misplaced Pages community. Nobody in Misplaced Pages is supposed to laugh, according to ], ], ], ], and ], ] Jimbo Wales (the equivalent of a ] ] on a ]'s ]) ] wrote himself -- although probably Cyde ]ed him into it, since Jimmy appears on every single picture ever seen of him ]. | |||
| So it was just a matter of time until Cyde, between blocking ] ] and ] so they couldn't complain about it, noticed something. | |||
| Something terrible. | |||
| Something '']''. | |||
| ]. | |||
| This tiny little colored fellas gave ] and ] to everybody in the green, ]fied Wikipedian fields. | |||
| Of course, something ''had'' to be done, because in Cyde's mind, nobody is ever to have a ] ] ]. Because for him it was ] that queer old good times have ]. | |||
| "]. There should be ]", thought Cyde. And indeed he did something. Something that ]. | |||
| ===What he did=== | |||
| Instead of calmly doing ] like most Misplaced Pages admins try to, coming off as civilized and smart, Cyde went ] ] ] ] one mythical May the 13th, when he and his ] ] nominated , despite the fact that in ] userpages. | |||
| This ] continued, much to the amazement of everybody, and by May the 14th, Cyde and his buddy had already nominated , based on these main three claims: | |||
| * "'']'' template, does not belong in template space. Opinions like "Oh but it's ]" are ], as humor is ], but our ] are not." - Cyde Weys. | |||
| * ''Uncyclopededic'' template, simply ], no point in ]. Get this ] out of template space. - Cyde Weys. | |||
| * "Stupid and lacking in humor. Pointless to have around." - ]. | |||
| Mind you, some of them were nominated by Conrad and "speedy deleted" by Cyde in less than what it takes you to say ]. Not to mention '''many''' userboxes were nominated without a deletion warning, thus preventing wikipedia users from ]. | |||
| However, the truth WAS made public, and a ] filled Misplaced Pages's userpages, where userboxes' warnings of deletion were screwing up the ]. Soon afterwards ''thousands'' of "'''KEEP''' n ] syde] ]" comments appeared on the deletion voting logs. Since most of Misplaced Pages users are not ], with the exception of ], most userboxes ''did'' survive Cyde's vendetta, thanks in large to an admin known as ] ], who tried to ]. A few ones, however, fell victim to "speedy deletion" (i.e. nominate for deletion at April 1 8:00 pm, delete at April 1 ''7:59'' pm) by Cyde's ]. | |||
| Thanks in large to the unity of ]some Wikipedians, the userbox fad stayed. Of course, Cyde kept on ] so eventually userboxes stopped being templates, or something, but that's ]. | |||
| ===The aftermath=== | |||
| From the Great Userbox Drama comes the (by now) ancient wikipedian song of the Bonfire Userbox: | |||
| ] | |||
| :Remember, remember, the thirteenth of May, | |||
| :the deletion of lulz and the box | |||
| :I know of no reason why the lolercaust of the box | |||
| :should ever be forgot. | |||
| :Cyde Weys, Cyde Weys, | |||
| :t'was his intent | |||
| :To speedy delete up the lulz and the lol | |||
| :A suckpuppet and a ] below, | |||
| :poor old Misplaced Pages's lulz to overthrow! | |||
| :By ] providence he was stopp'd, | |||
| :With a ] ] and a ] ]. | |||
| :Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let him be a ]. | |||
| :Holloa boys, Holloa boys, ] save the ]! | |||
| :Hip hip Hoorah! | |||
| :Hip hip Hoorah! | |||
| ] Misplaced Pages users celebrate the 13th of May by ] of Cyde Weys with a stash of ]. | |||
| ==Other Drama-Generating Techniques== | |||
| Cyde's attempt at "serious lulz" (the "serious" here being ]) is something called ], but quite frankly, ]. Additionally, Cyde has written various ], such as reply he gives to anybody who doesn't agree with him. | |||
| ==Userbox Generator== | |||
| Why would cyde, the one who deletes all the userboxes, have a userbox generator? It is at . And his userboxes page is the page with the most userboxes on THE WHOLE WIKIPEDIA according to Interiot's list. | |||
| His USERBOX page is here http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Cyde/testboxen. | |||
| Why the hell would CYDE the hater of userboxes have a USERBOX GENERATOR? It really gets you wondering who cyde really is.... | |||
| ==]== | |||
| Some argue that Cyde Weys is nothing more than Tony Sidaway's ]. This ] theory is based on the fact that Cyde's full name is pronounced exactly like Tony's last name. Also because they work in teams of injustice - Cyde bans a ] and Tony deletes the poor bitch's talk page, contribs, and existence from the universe. ], there's even a , further increasing the ] range. | |||

About meI've been an editor on Misplaced Pages for a long time (coming up on nineteen years as of 2021). For the majority of those years now I've also been an administrator. I'm mostly interested in anything having to do with science, including but not limited to, evolution, encryption, astronomy, science fiction, SETI, and computer programming. Professionally, I'm a software engineer. I'm also interested in politics, mostly because of the negative influence on science it's been having lately. I am an unabashed naturalist. I also contribute on Meta and Commons. Misplaced Pages programsI've written some programs to perform useful tasks on Misplaced Pages. All of them are released under the GNU General Public License.
BotsI run one bot, although he handles a multitude of tasks:
