[edit] Do We Have Enough Soda For Everyone?
When you toil away on a site like this, you do so in darkness. You wonder if your words will ever reach anyone. You wonder if you'll ever get attention, ever catch that pretty girl's eye... raise the eyebrow of that friendly reporter or, if we may whisper it... Jimbo Himself. You know that if you don't build it, nobody's coming. But oh, the efforts and the strain beforehand.
But you know, the right set of events happen, a dash of luck, a pinch of timing... and you get contacted about your efforts.
Such it was when a few of us got contacted by "the right people" and we chatted up about ourselves, our mission, our meaning. We set our little bottle in the water, and like that oft-quoted Police song, we sent an S.O.S. to the world.
And then it happened.
First we got mentioned by The Guardian. Then we got mentioned by Slashdot. Then we got mentioned by Digg. Then we got mentioned by everyone.
On Easter Sunday, 2006, Wikitruth.Info was visited by over FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE. FIFTY THOUSAND.
This is a dream beyond dreams, a wonder beyond wonder. Tens of thousands of people, all visiting, gawking, gaping and responding to our words. You could not ask for a better Easter.
Hippity Hoppity, Motherfuckers. We have arrived.
Of course, this flood has been followed by a veritable Tsunami of Derision, Hate, Viciousness, and Laughable Speculation. After all, we've been thrown around the Internet, and the message boards of the Internet have thinking and logic that belongs lodged deep into Satan's Rectum. But that's OK!
It was never about getting 50,000 fans. It was about getting 100,000 eyeballs. And 50,000 mouths, talking about what we're saying here.
People complain the site is too small; that's the point! Too much and we're "fanatics". One page and we're ignored. We strike a balance here at the Wikitruth. A balance, we hope, of insight and quackery, of the laughing jester and the twisting knife. We're all about the Benjamins, if by Benjamins you mean "Awareness of where Wikipedia is Fucking Up".
So welcome, all of you, find a seat. We welcome you with open arms and dropped pants. All of you.
Even the ones who hate us.
