Uncyclopedians have had an independent website (or websites) for years; a long list of languages (including Japanese, Taiwanese - regular script Chinese traditional and the largest Uncyclopedia of all, Brazilian Portuguese Desciclopédia) never were Wikia and have been around since at least 2006. Many others (including the Americans and the Russians) forked years ago.

By redirecting uncyclopedia.org to uncyclopedia.wikia.com and returning "This wiki has been closed" instead of stating honestly "This wiki has moved to uncyclopedia.ca, a non-Wikia site", Wikia is misleading the public to believe the project is defunct. This is a problem if hundreds of thousands of inbound links from external sites are pointing to Wikia instead of to the active project, and it is doing reputational damage to all of the Uncyclopedias - including the ones which were always independent.
