Wikiversity
Wikiversity is another long, writhing tentacle of TOW. It was created to cater to frat boys and their interests, which mostly include circle jerks and other forms of mutual masturbation, particularly the textual kind. This is not, however, gay, since the balls don't touch.
Drama
Last Thursday a number of former Wikipedia users created a project on Wikiversity called "The Ethics of Breaching Experiments". It was basically a study on vandalising Wikipedia. When sole flounder Jimbo found out about this he deleted the project and blocked the users involved he also desysoped a user that undid Jimbo's blocks. Jimbo used his global sysops superpowers to do this as he wasn't a contributor to Wikiversity. When everyone on Wikiversity sperged out over Jimbo's actions, he threatened to convince the Wikimedia board to close down Wikiversity. Jimbo basically told the Wikiversity lusers "Respect mah authoritah!"

Jimbo Backtracks
After several days of discussion with the aspies of Wikiversity, Jimbo finally realized that Wikiversitians didn't like him showing up and swinging his banhammer around. Jimbo also didn't get any support from his flunkies as they were all busy on Wikipedia banning Wikipedos while masturbating with 3 cucumbers up their asses. He resysoped the user he desysoped.

Jimbo almost loses his founder rights
On Meta (a sort of wikipedia of all the wikipedias) someone started a Request for Comment to remove Jimbo's "founder" privileges arguing that Jimbo disrupted and discredit Wikiversity.[1] This time Jimbo's anti-lulz lackeys were out in full force to try to save him from ruin.

Trollin' Potential
Wikiversity has potential for delicious lulz. Whilst Wikipedia has a strict no original research policy, Wikiversity on the other hand welcomes original research (much like Encyclopedia Dramatica) as long as it's framed as a genuine research project. Moreover, as seen above, Wikiversitans generally frown upon new research projects getting summary deleted so they will have a deletion discussion thus generating even more lulz. So go ahead and create an research project on your favorite whackjob conspiracy theory! You could even create a research project on how Jews did WTC, GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!
