It is one of a series of [[RationalWikiWikiWiki]]s that have been set up over the years.


==History==
The site was founded by a disgruntled ex-RationalWiki user who was banned from the site after posting an essay questioning the illegal status of child-adult sex. It was briefly shut down about two weeks after its founding when the same essay was reported to the site's webhost. The site owner chose to move the site to a new webhost rather then delete the essay, and the site was resurrected a few days later.
Founded on 1 September {{tag|FoundedIn2012|2012}}, this site was shut down on 11 September 2012, due to a warning from the site's Provo, Utah-based webhost (responding to a tip provided by a RWW user) that "{{tag|adult content}}," such as an essay questioning the logic behind laws establishing the current age of sexual consent, would not be tolerated, and that continued violations would result in deletion of all content. This was deemed to require at least temporarily shuttering the site because the terms of service specified prohibited content in terms so nebulous as to make it impossible to know whether one was in violation or not, if even political expression were to be declared too racy. http://rationalwikiwikiwiki.org/wiki/Essay:Adult_content
 
The RWW user who made the report described the RWWW site owner as "morally bankrupt" and stated, "I do not believe in 'freedom of speech', when it could be used against the innocent", a reference to the perceived need to protect minors not only by forcibly preventing them from implementing their own decisions concerning use of their own bodies, but by suppressing any speech that would oppose the laws authorizing and mandating such government intervention. Some RWW users had also criticized the RWWW site owner for using a [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|CC-by-SA]]-licensed image from their site without their permission, and for giving the site a name that was a derivative of RationalWikiWiki's. They complained that this was inappropriate, since the site was used for the voicing of opinions not representative of the views of RWW editors.  The irony of a site whose own name was a derivative of RationalWiki, and which devoted itself to critiquing and mocking that {{tag|wiki}}, complaining about another site doing the same to it, seemed to escape them, as did the fact that the creation of an independent wiki for the purpose of ''agreeing'' with RWW would be pointless.  The necessity of a fork arises when there are irreconcilable disagreements about site policy or content, and someone wants to break free of the restrictions imposed by those in control of a wiki by establishing a new wiki.
 
==Current status==
As of 12 September 2012, when a person (unrelated to the site) clicked on any of its links, a [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] 'special page' opens, displaying the following message:
<center><blockquote>'''ATTENTION, RATIONALWIKIWIKIWIKI READERS AND EDITORS<br>This site has been shut down.'''<br><br>If you already had an account, and there's content you posted that you want to retrieve, go ahead and retrieve it. If you were an anonymous user, and you need an account to be created for you so you can retrieve your content, email<br>[email protected].</blockquote></center>
It goes on to state that: ''You must log in to view other pages''. Links to download the database and file system were also provided. The site was considered to have a "goal reached" status since the page noted that in light of RWWW users' opponents' unwillingness to debate in any forum whatsoever, or to even allow their opponents to express their views on their own site without interference, in accordance with [http://libertapedia.org/wiki/Larson%27s_Law Larson's Law] said opponents could be deemed to have been conceded all controverted topics. However, the site was left in place as a memorial to the achievement. By 15 September 2012, the website had been resurrected at a new home, NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, the same host as [[NewgonWiki]] and many other controversial sites.

RationalWikiWikiWiki, or RWWW, seeks to critique and mock RationalWiki (RW) and RationalWikiWiki (RWW), and to host discussions deemed too controversial for those sites. It is one of a series of RationalWikiWikiWikis that have been set up over the years.

The site was founded by a disgruntled ex-RationalWiki user who was banned from the site after posting an essay questioning the illegal status of child-adult sex. It was briefly shut down about two weeks after its founding when the same essay was reported to the site's webhost. The site owner chose to move the site to a new webhost rather then delete the essay, and the site was resurrected a few days later.
