Uncyclopedia was transferred to Wikia on May 26, 2005.  Although initially promising to keep the 'uncyclopedia.org' domain and not host ads, Wikia moved the wiki to 'uncyclopedia.wikia.com' on October 23, 2008, despite protests from the community.  Further problems occurred in 2012, as Wikia censored images and placed disclaimers on the site; these were major factors in the decision of a sizable number of users to leave to establish an independently-hosted site in 2013 (see [[#Independent Fork]]), but were not of concern to the remainder of the community.
