 | Misplaced Pages Sucks As part of my own wiki project, I'm interested in providing links to (and especially reviews of) sites that claim to criticize Misplaced Pages. I say "claim to," because the more interesting (and sillier) criticisms usually boil down to this: "Waaahh! The bad WikiNazis won't let me edit my pet articles the way I want, so therefore they're censoring me!" So far I have three notable examples of this sort -- including "Misplaced Pages Watch" -- but I'm definitely interested in more whining of this kind. If you're tired of folks like John Byrne coming in and threatening the folks here because they don't like what we say, then please send them in my direction. My Web site is http://www.modemac.com/Wikipedia_Sucks -- I'm not inserting a blatant plug into the Criticism of Misplaced Pages article itself, because I'd probably be accused of promoting my own Web site if I did so. Feel free to drop by and take a look. |
"Hi there!" -- Peter Gabriel, "Big Time"
I stumbled across Misplaced Pages in August of 2002 and immediately became addicted. I'm proud to have been a Misplaced Pages admin since 2003, though of late the management of my own Web site has cut back on my Misplaced Pages activities. The success of Misplaced Pages inspired me to make a major upgrade to my Web site in 2005, to allow for easier editing, faster updates, and contributions from outside visitors. Thanks to the ease and simplicity of wiki-based Web utilities, I have been able to launch my own wiki, a follow-up (and tribute) to the holy SubGenius tome High Weirdness by Mail.
- The High Weirdness Project
A SubGenius wiki, founded February 25, 2005:
In preparation for the coming arrival of the Escape Vessels of the Alien X-ist Armada this coming July (X-Day), the First Online Church of "Bob" has opened its doors to the public, to allow for wider exposure of the so-called "fringe elements" of our society: the strange, the weird, the blasphemous, the Slackful, and the subversive. This site is dedicated to providing you, the reader, with a gateway to many strange, unusual, useful, and above all SLACKFUL sources of information. And because we are using wiki software, we are able to be constantly updated. Anyone is free to add their own contributions to this Web site -- which guarantees that we will never be outdated.
This ministry has been online since April 1994, and my Web site has been in operation since May 1995. I am proud to have been at the focus of various controversies involving the Church of Scientology and its war against the Internet; the net.kooks and spammers of the news.admin.net-abuse.* newsgroups; and the great X-Day gatherings of 1998 through the present day at Brushwood (home of Starwood).
There have been a few other pagan-based wikis founded recently, including Sourceryforge, but The High Weirdness Project is not an attempt to build another "encyclopedia." Rather, we are looking for links (and especially reviews) of information sources related to what is commonly known as "the fringe" elements of society (where many of us like to let it all hang out).
This project is open for mutants, SubGenii, Discordians, hackers, blasphemers, and other unmentionables far and wide to visit, read, and make their own contributions. Feel free to add your links to whatever parts of the page you find appropriate -- Other Mutants, Music, Books and Zines, Sex, or what have you. At the moment, we have sections on culture jamming, media manipulation, and information warfare that have made a good start, but are still in need of development.
The First Online Church of "Bob" was founded as a way of opening people's eyes to the truth about the Conspiracy, so as to bring them Slack and achieve my own Slack in return. Here's hoping that the High Weirdness Project inspires you to make your own mark on the world.
Especial thanks to Reverend Ivan Stang, the author and compiler of High Weirdness By Mail, upon which this Web site is based.

Modemac, in response to your personal threats on my page regarding my update on the fact about stang's death:
I was certainly under that impression. Please refrain from further harrassment of my being or I will have no choice but pursue civil action. That being said, please send me your legal info in case I am left with no choice in the future.
If it's the case that Stang was merely faking his death, please let me know, and as that would be unverifiable until his alleged faked death is exposed, my words are not slanderous, as no fiscal or emotional damage has resulted from my exposing this information.
Please hurry with that legal contact information, as I feel you lack the ability to control yourself, and am really quite afraid. I'm sure a restraining order is the way to go, but I can't do that without the information required to bring one about.
Chris Punches -Pontius Ethics.
P.S. I'm not 'Gammamute', I just happen to work for them.
