User:Spike

This is the summer home of Spike, an Admin from the (original) Uncyclopedia parody wiki.

In 2017, webhost Wikia changed its unified login in a way that shuts out users of legacy browsers. (It did so in 2016 too, though you could get in if you didn't need visual proof that you had done so. Since then, I am even more convinced not to upgrade to the latest browser.)  In addition, a vandal hack in 2015 has become the excuse for a giant crackdown on the innocent, mostly involving keeping Admins from administering. A Community Representative promised to "study" my sudden inability to edit the Message of the Day, and that was a year ago.

Earlier Wikia crusades involved stamping out nip-slips, integrating our humor with their ad campaigns, and attaching a cover-your-ass disclaimer that spoiled the humor effect. That drove half the editors away to a fork website that has been in comparable decline.

Aspirations
It is still fun creating pretty pages, creating news and encyclopedia articles that look like the real thing, and coding in JavaScript. It might be fun to create a humor wiki here, though I am not sure anyone else would join me here nor that anyone would read it nor that I would keep at it. A month ago, someone took the user name Spike. If six months go by, he does nothing with it, and I do something with mine, I might petition to acquire it.

Initial observations
I don't yet see any material here worth contributing to. The list of wikis is huge, but several I sampled were stubs. It was disconcerting that I could not create my own user page when I created the account, and that Miraheze has still not emailed me to confirm my address.
