New page

<dfn>Wired</dfn> is a registered account on the [[Oddworld Forums]] that has been used by several members, including [[Oddworld Forums staff|staff]]. The account was initially created in <time datetime="2006-03-13T17:00Z">March 2006</time> for use by certain members to masquerade as a real person, until this was revealed publically <time datetime="2006-04-25T23:05">the following month</time>.<ref name="Wired discovered"/> After backlash, the Wired account was primarily used to host the [[Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards]]. Wired's final post was the results thread of the [[9th Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards]] on <time datetime="2011-01-23T02:05:55Z">23 January 2011</time>.<ref name="OWF Awards 9 results"/>

== Original use ==
=== Creation ===
Wired was created by members of the message board The Mausoleum. [[Hobo]] (then Super Moderator of Zulag Two on the Oddworld Forums) created <dfn>The Mausoleum</dfn> on ezboard, intending it to be an additional venue for staff and other respected members to socialise without having to share a forum with members he found unpleasant, in particular a member called [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=2743 Dino].<ref name="Hobo closes The Mausoleum"/> Dino was strongly suspected by Forums staff to be the latest in a string of accounts created by a single individual (their other accounts including [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1875 Codek], originally named Death;<ref name="Death renamed Codek"/> [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1741 Reese Charles]; and [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=2492 Mawk].<ref name="Dino is a multi"/> In <time datetime="2005-09">September 2005</time>, Hobo and [[Rich]] (then Moderator of [[Off-Topic Discussion]] on the Oddworld Forums as well as Hobo's second-in-command of The Mausoleum) invited several Oddworld Forums members to join, including [[AquaticAmbi]] (not yet Moderator of Off-Topic Discussion on the Oddworld Forums), who became The Mausoleum's third-in-command.<ref name="AquaticAmbi third in command"/> In <time datetime="2005-11-08T20:12:21Z">November</time>, [[AquaticAmbi]] invited non-moderator [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1383 Dipstikk] to join The Mausoleum<ref name="AquaticAmbi invited Dipstikk"/> against Hobo's wishes.<ref name="Hobo closes The Mausoleum"/>

Members of The Mausoleum came up with the idea of creating a parody account of Dino<ref name="Wired parodied Dino"/> and created the character of Wired with a detailed backstory and planned upcoming events.<ref name="Wired backstory"/> Wired joined the Oddworld Forums on <time datetime="2006-03-13T17:00:00Z">13 March 2006</time><ref name="Wired joins OWF"/> and first posted in his own welcome thread on <time datetime="2006-03-17T23:13">17 March</time>,<ref name="Wired first post"/> later on the same day that Dino was banned.<ref name="Dino is banned"/> Rich and [[SeaRex]] (then Global Moderator of the Oddworld Forums) were the only members of staff who were involved with Wired, with at least 5 non-moderator members also participating,<ref name="SeaRex and Rich were Wired"/> including [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1404 Facsimile],<ref name="Facsimile was Wired"/> [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1454 Leto],<ref name="Leto was Wired"/> AquaticAmbi,<ref name="AquaticAmbi third in command"/> and Dipstikk.<ref name="AquaticAmbi third in command"/> Wired made 83 posts under this pretense over 32 days.

=== Response ===
In late <time datetime="2006-04">April 2006</time>, Dipstikk revealed the existence of The Mausoleum to [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=3621 Sekto Springs], a member who had not been invited.<ref name="Dipstikk told Sekto Springs"/> In response to his breaking the forum's rule of secrecy, AquaticAmbi banned Dipstikk from The Mausoleum.<ref name="AquaticAmbi third in command"/> After this, while exchanging insults with Hobo in Hobo's birthday thread, Dipstikk revealed publicly that Wired was controlled by several forum members.<ref name="Wired discovered"/>

Reactions by forum members were negative, with participating members of staff being accused of hypocrisy regarding the rules against owning multiple accounts (or ‘<dfn>multis</dfn>’),<ref name="Havoc denounces hypocrisy"/> especially after Sekto Springs was only permitted to rejoin the Oddworld Forums with a new account under the explicit permission and ongoing scrutiny of [[Alcar]], due to his previous account—sligslinger—still being banned.<ref name="Dipstikk references Sekto Springs multi"/><ref name="Alcar warns Sekto Springs"/> Others feared that any new member could now plausibly turn out to be moderators playing a prank.<ref name="T-nex can't trust members"/>

Other critics pointed out that Wired had acted antisocially to members, even newly joined members who couldn't have been in on the joke,<ref name="Cyber-Slig denounces trolling"/> and although Rich had corrected accusations that Hobo was in any way involved with Wired,<ref name="Hobo not involved with Wired"/> Hobo's behaviour of insulting members was similarly criticized, and staff were accused of letting him get away with it because he was their friend; several critics requested that the staff moderate the Forums more strictly.<ref name="T-nex criticizes Hobo"/><ref name="Dipstikk criticizes Hobo"/><ref name="Cyber-Slig criticizes Hobo"/>

Members who posted as Wired defended their actions by confirming that it was intended as a performative joke for all members to enjoy,<ref name="SeaRex defends Wired"/> that the absurd nature of Wired's posts should have been self-evidently farcical,<ref name="AquaticAmbi invited Dipstikk"/> and that their use of a multi, despite being against the Forums' rules, was done with the administrators' prior consent.<ref name="Wired had Alcar's consent"/> Alcar explained that he gave tacit permission believing that such compromises were often necessary to keep a community active and interesting, and defended Hobo's comments as light-hearted jokes.<ref name="Alcar defends Hobo and Wired"/> SeaRex claimed that, if moderators were any stricter, many of the individuals complaining about Hobo and Wired would themselves have a lot of their posts deleted,<ref name="SeaRex denies mods should be stricter"/> but promised that members of staff would discuss the rules of the Oddworld Forums.<ref name="SeaRex promises new rules"/>

=== Fallout ===
In the midst of the public revelation, Hobo closed The Mausoleum.<ref name="Hobo closes The Mausoleum"/> He and Rich immediately began inviting members to a new forum called The Glass Prison, named jokingly after [[The Glass Asylum]], a previous occasion when the Oddworld Forums community divided over the actions of moderators. This forum was later renamed The Glass Farce.<ref name="The Glass Farce"/>

Shortly afterwards, [[Havoc]] and [[T-nex]] (then Moderators of [[Fan Corner]] and [[Oddworld RPG]] respectively) attempted to remove and replace the Oddworld Forums' other moderators including Administrator Alcar and Global Moderator SeaRex. They were unsuccessful but were not removed from their positions as moderators.<ref name="Havoc attempts coup"/>

After being involved in arguments with Wired participants, Dipstikk decided to stop posting on the Oddworld Forums, although he also cited the lack of Oddworld news and general lack of interesting recent content on the Forums.<ref name="Dipstikk leaves"/> Fearing that his posted art might be subjected to spam, theft or mockery in his absence,<ref name="Dipstikk explains deleting threads"/> he asked Havoc to delete his threads from [[Fan Corner]] and [[Non-Oddworld Art & Literature]].<ref name="Dipstikk asks Havoc to delete posts"/> On <time datetime="2006-05-13T22:28">13 May 2006</time>, Havoc deleted 43 threads created by Dipstikk between <time datetime="2002-12-18T02:54:11Z">2002</time><ref name="Dipstikk thread from 2002"/> and <time datetime="2006-05-10T01:32">4 days prior</time>.<ref name="Dipstikk thread from 2006"/>

On <time datetime="2006-05-29T13:36:08">29 May</time>, Alcar noticed the deletions and restored the threads in order to preserve the history of the Forums.<ref name="Alcar wants to preserve history"/> He also activated a feature called Edit Locking, preventing any member without moderation privileges from being able to edit any post older than an hour,<ref name="Alcar activates Edit Locking"/> although he soon increased this limit to one week.<ref name="Alcar increases Edit Locking to a week"/> This later had consequences for non-moderators maintaining community posts, such as [http://owforums.net/member.php?u=1210 Fez] was doing with the thread ‘The Classics’.<ref name="Fez updates The Classics"/><ref name="The Classics"/> Dipstikk took exception to being unable to remove his art;<ref name="Dipstikk wants art gone"/> after continuing to post until <time datetime="2006-06-17T21:51">17 June</time>,<ref name="Dipstikk's final post"/> he stopped posting on the Oddworld Forums for more than three years.<ref name="Dipstikk's return post"/>

In response to claims that the Oddworld Forums staff had not been moderating the Forums as sternly as they ought to, the staff began discussing and developing a new set of rules, but these were never implemented.<ref name="New rules 2006"/> The rules were eventually revamped in 2010.<ref name="New rules 2010"/>

== Later use ==
After being outed as the fabrication of several members, Wired no longer posted in threads under the pretense of being a genuine person. He was, however, used with the permission of Alcar as a proxy for the staff to create institutionalized threads such as the ‘[[Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards]]’ and ‘[[What Do You Look Like?]]’ (although Wired originally created ‘What Do You Look Like? (V6)’ before his reveal).<ref name="Wired for gestalt use"/><ref name="WDYLL6"/> His characterization as a parody of Dino continued but was downplayed. In this incarnation, Wired created 11 threads.
