User blog comment:ForestFairy/Becoming an Admin Is Easy, Being an Admin Not So Much/@comment-13596550-20150805103612

I was on Uncyclopedia for four years before becoming an admin. As my previous interest was just to write, edit and advise/assist other users, I really wasn't interested much in the other aspects of the technical side of the site. This all changed when we had a 'forking' in January 2013 when the majority of active admins departed to run their own (non-Wikia hosted) version of the site. Since then I have tried to understand more how a site like Uncyclopedia works on the 'nerd' end as I call it.
