Daniel Larson Wiki URL Transfer: Difference between revisions

On January 30, 2025, the '''Daniel Larson Wiki''' (Domain name https://daniellarson.wiki/), hosted by [[User:Admin|the previous admin]], suddenly turned up under the "404 Not Found" error when accessed by Larstorians and passive observers alike. Initially, it was believed to be a result of the wiki's bandwidth limit having been exceeded, as it had happened in the past. However, it soon became clear that this was not the case—the wiki had been entirely deleted.  

While the exact reason for the wiki's deletion remains unclear, it is widely believed that it happened as a direct response to legal threats from [[Lucas|Lucas Gunatilleke]], a past enabler of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel Larson.]] In 2023, [[Lucas]] began interacting with [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]], engaging in actions such as buying him motel rooms and food, pretending to be [[Grace VanderWaal]] to gain his trust, among many other things. This plummeted his popularity among the wider Larsonverse, leading to him being doxxed. Shortly after, an article about him was added to the wiki by editor KanamoriKamper.

Lucas eventually realized that the wiki was documenting his actions, and in August 2024, he allegedly sent a cease and desist letter to the old wiki admin while also directing racist and transphobic slurs at KanamoriKamper. However, since he did not file any paperwork or present proof of such, the wiki staff called him on his bluff, and Lucas retreated for the rest of 2024. Despite this, Lucas did not stop. Lucas began to up his efforts to wipe documentation of himself from the internet in January 2025. He filed a motion to intervene in Werling v. Menne, <ref>https://archive.org/details/lucas-motion</ref> the lawsuit [[Lil Sippy]] filed against [[Clark]], filed a lawsuit against KanamoriKamper<ref>https://archive.org/details/proposed-complaint-1</ref>, and reportedly also sent more concrete legal threats to the old wiki admin.

An argument broke out on his account's talk page between him and several editors, and shortly after, he joined the wiki’s Discord to provide his side. He argued with wiki editors in several channels, denying his actions despite extensive documentation and denying Daniel Larson's well-recorded pedophilic habits.

This came to a head on January 30, 2025, as Lucas shared PDFs of his legal documents with wiki editors. While most editors regarded this as a bluff—pointing out misspelled terms and the absence of KanamoriKamper's actual legal name on the documents—the former wiki admin was believed to have taken the threat seriously. Later that day, in the early hours of the morning, the wiki was deleted.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1ie7aso/wiki_down_emergency_code_red/</ref>

Confusion spread throughout the Larsonverse and various non-wiki editor members tried to figure out what happened. However, on the wiki Discord, editors began discussing a solution to the problem. Discord member zzyil/Aviv promptly began hosting a the wiki on a new website (Domain name https://wiki.lolcow.city/daniel-larson/, where you are now). This new wiki was launched with an archive from January 2025. While user accounts were not transferred, everything else has been restored.
