UnSignpost:UnSignpost/20190622
KABOOM
By Snarglefoop
It finally happened -- Wikia nuked the home turf of Oscar Wilde.
Fried potatoes, puffed potatoes, flaming bits of potato raining down all around....
And so has begun the Great Diaspora, as the Wiki To End All Knowledge searches for a new home. So far there are three (or four, depending on how you count them) known clones in various states of functionality, along with some number of unknown clones. (Watch for future issues of the Unsignpost to learn more about the Centers of Uncycliness.) (That is, if the site stays up long enough for there to be any future issues.)
Many of us are still unsure as to exactly what made the roof fall in, but Wikia's objection seemed to have something to do with the fact that we're offensive, undisciplined, disorganized, and not fans of anything anyone could identify, and that doesn't fit with the Wikia Story going forward. Furthermore, after spending all day (and all night) in front of the computer, there's a rumor that some of us don't smell totally amazingly wonderful, and that certainly does not fit with Wikia's self-image, either going forward or backward (or sideways).
There may have been more to the explanation but this reporter had to go get more coffee and correct someone who was wrong on Facebook and by the time he got back the meeting had ended.
Blasts from the past continue

Bureaucrat Admin "Spike" seems to have endorsed the effort to regroup at "some location on the outside of Wikia," suddenly reappearing and even updating his user page to claim to account for a two-year "sabbatical." Says the new wiki runs adequately on his steam-powered vintage browser, as Wikia did not; and the new website tolerates Bare Nipple, which he claims does not matter to him.
Spike, no stranger to occupying two seats at the same time, has reclaimed his former portfolios, Votes for Deletion and UnNews, and has resumed contributing new content, including one news release imported from his two-year refuge at Miraheze.
Spike says he is enthusiastic about the "relaunch" of Uncyclopedia in the Great White North, and if anyone isn't square with that, it's "six weeks in the can" for them.
UnSignpost finally revived
By Llwy-ar-lawr
The UnSignpost seems to have come back to life after almost five years of dormancy. After its original editors vanished into thick air, it has fallen into the hands of people who don't know what they're doing.
Is it really alive, or is it merely a shell of its former self, a zombie sent to thwart our brave party of adventurers? Will Snarglefoop and Llwy-ar-lawr continue with this project, or will they drop it in favor of those exciting squirrels across the field? Stay tuned for the next issue.
