[edit]If I see this on AfD, no hard feelings - but I'll still cast a keep !vote. =^^= --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
My thoughts
[edit]Didn't realize someone had already tried to write this. If anyone's up for a second shot, I'd strongly recommend writing a new section at Lolcat first and then splitting it off when/if it becomes big enough that it hinders readability - until that point, it's more useful to have all the info available at the same place, and would allow this site's financials to give some perspective on the commercialization of the meme. That said, contrary to comments in the AfD, the site has garnered significant press coverage all on its own. Check out the following:

- That's good to know! I wish we could source the statement about HappyCat ... it is true, but it is not (currently) verifiable. Now I kinda wish I had a paid account at Something Awful so I could look through the archives... --Iamunknown 09:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- There already is a Lolcat article. StarfoxRoy 02:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Loldogs?
[edit]I call them "rofldogs." -- Denelson83 04:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- I call them a tired internet meme. 92.232.121.101 (talk) 12:26, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe so, but its possible that that's another title for "loldogs". Jerrokun (talk) 06:08, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Sister Site
[edit]I know there's another sister site with graphs and charts, but I can't remember it... Anyone know the URL?
Viridia (talk) 14:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
- http://graphjam.com/ is the graph website. There also appears to be one with matching faces. --UberScienceNerd Talk Contributions 15:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
References From Other Media
[edit]The [adult swim] program Frisky Dingo made two subtle references. One can be found here. I can't seem to locate the other. Worth noting? --70.89.239.70 (talk) 16:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Watch Out!
[edit]I'm not very well known, but I have a dedication/tenancy to completely revamp and aggressively improve 'broken' articles, like I did here. And I'm a big fan of this site, so I'll be keeping both eyes on this article.So don't get mad if I change something you wanted to stay put, it'll usually be to keep the article on top-quality, or as close as I can get to it. StarfoxRoy 23:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
I think you've all been trolled with the "over 9000" as the number of submissions. It was probably used as the meme, not the actual number. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.135.62.115 (talk) 00:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- I second that. over 9000 can't be honest. And what is your power level? --78.102.224.252 (talk) 19:08, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Section order
[edit]Since you mentioned the other sites in the Image creation services section, would it be better to mention them first? --kazu (talk) 10:24, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Template Cheezburgr deletion
[edit]The lolcat cheezburger template is up for deletion, feel free to post your opinion at: Templates for deletion, Template:Cheezburgr. Dreadstar † 05:45, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
reference in comic books
[edit]In pop culture namely the comic book New Avengers: The Reunion #3 the character Tigra is at a bbq and says the line while hanging next to the grill. Just want to mention that to show how far this line has gotten into mainstream culture —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.106.232 (talk) 04:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Other sites
[edit]I think some of the sites listed are not really from ICHC, some just benefit from the traffic and technology from them. kazu (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
These sites show the network's navigation in them and thus is a part of the network: 140pedia, Fail Dogs, and Tofulator. Should the other sites be mentioned at all? kazu (talk) 09:53, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please update this list of sister sites? There are quite a few more these days, including, but not limited to epicwinftw.com. They have the exact same layout and Id love to see a truly comprehensive list of them here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.94.21.149 (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Could someone also update the number of sites in the Cheezburger Network? It's not been updated since June 2010, I myself am not sure exactly how many sites there are - thanks! AgentSIRF (talk) 21:42, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Seperate section for fail blog
[edit]Yes 210.2.158.17 (talk) 10:35, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- If that blog has independent notability (multiple non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, then probably better to create a separate article. Otherwise, if it is just yet another side project, then it's fine as is, imo. Resolute 19:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Just for those concerned, a (somewhat vandal) article has been created before about FAIL Blog, but was deleted. kazu (talk) 08:00, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, Kazu, an actually well written and referenced article exists at Fail Blog. It was nominated for deletion, but the result was to keep. Leo-Roy! review/gb 19:14, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Replying to something posted two months ago, eh? That aside, you may want to check this out. kazu (talk) 14:29, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- I know, my point was that the article still exists. It was re-created, nominated, and later kept. Leo-Roy! review/gb 19:29, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I was just pointing out that my post up there was outdated. kazu (talk) 19:13, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

dispute on the semantics of "can i haz cheezburgerz?" it is a meme not a website
[edit]Hello, I see the can i haz cheezburgerz as a meme not a website. this needs to be changed on wikipedia. the website is not as important as the phenomena. Mdupont (talk) 08:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

It's a business empire
[edit](referring to the section above) - here[1] is a link regarding the creation and management of the sites from the business / personal perspective of the owner. I would say that if anything, it's a collection of Internet content, which means it appears on a site (or channels, or whatever) plus related books, calendars, merchandise, etc. And being a commercial enterprise there is a business behind it. Notability-wise, WP:WEB applies, but there is often a tension on Wikipedia between covering xxx.com the website and xxx inc., the business. Cheers, - Wikidemon (talk) 23:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
