User:Ultra64Detective2401/Alpha Hole/10-6-2021 Announcement

So, it has come to this...

What'll happen to this wiki will depend on what the admins want to do.

I'll probably just archive this wiki unless they allow us to continue. (So, probably archive.)

You probably shouldn't get your hopes up, but I might make some serious versions of some of the pages here, like horror dungeon.

Well, this MIGHT be it, at least for the time being. I dunno. It depends on what the admin wants to do to this mini wiki.

Hope you enjoyed it... (Even if you didn't...)

Hopefully this has demonstrated exactly how NOT to make a wiki. Look at the badness of Alpha Hole as a reminder of what NOT to do on mainspace MIPS Hole. I originally created this wiki, after seeing a bunch of bad trends. Sort of the same reason the Alpha Archive was created, I suppose. It also served as a place where bad jokes could survive in.. if you wanted a meme wiki instead of MIPS Hole.. this was the place for that.

But if the admins delete it... it would make a fitting end. Let this stand as an example of what we must avoid turning into.

Secret Slide was disowned by its owner. Maybe Alpha Hole’s spirit can live on in there. As a mini-wiki, that is, this is probably too random even for Secret Slide’s mainspace. But, who knows?

These whole, alternate wikis on MIPS Hole weren't that great, but they were okay I guess. You should just make joke pages for dumb pages I guess. I don't know, this thing was in its heyday for a week or so then Busybody just continued it for too long.

Thing is, they probably wouldn’t survive as joke pages. Not unless you already understood the context. Plus they’d probably stink up the wiki, I made them profile subpages for a reason. I don’t want Special:Random to randomly stumble anyone upon an Alpha-styled page.

But yes, this probably “jumped the shark” a long time ago. It’s sort of the same formula over again. Everyone seems to either already get the point of Alpha Hole and is bored of seeing the same basic punchline over and over again, or doesn’t get the irony and (arguably correctly) just consider Alpha Hole as stupid and cringy.

That means the wiki has already served its purpose. Especially since half the point of Alpha Hole is yes, this stuff is cringe. So don’t do it on (at least not mainspace) MIPS Hole.

Alpha Hole itself was mainly a reaction to the cringe that was going on in MIPS Hole at the time. That’s died down a long time ago, meaning the entire wiki is now dated. It’s not funny anymore. It stopped being funny a long time ago. Continuing to make new Alpha Hole pages at this point is just cringe. So too is advertising the place. Only way this becomes relevant again is if MIPS Hole goes through another cringe phase... and I sincerely hope that DOESN’T happen.

I’m going to remove the link to Alpha Hole from my profile page. It’s not needed anymore. I’d keep it up in case it becomes relevant again, but no more linking to it for the time being.
