Encyclopedia Dramatica: Death and Rebirth

Encyclopediadramatica.org is now:

Ohinternet.com

When I saw that it was deleted for a SFW Know Your Meme ripoff when we already have Know Your Meme as a lighter side of Internet culture for those not willing to subject their eyes to the many horrors of life and the internet, I freaked, down right I MAD! And I'm shocked that no one else was upset as I was. It was like that night on November 14, when John Solomon's webcomics review blog was BALEETED. I felt like Rorschach when the Comedian was murdered! No one was caring despite the fact that valuable internet culture was being swept away under the rug!

Let me recap to you what exactly the world is like without ED:

Gone is the epic Offended page. No longer can I test my endurance and sensibilities to see how American I am anymore.

Gone is the library cataloging the biggest assholes and losers the internet has seen. Losers like Chris Chan, Alex Wuori, Snapesnogger, and Zeriara are all going to get away scott free and are now able to rape women, children, and torture animals as they please, because no one will be there harass them and document everything they do and scare them back into their wretched hives anymore. No brave soul will be there to troll them to death in an orderly fashion and there would be no article to explain this news report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkAngvkWVkk (Hint: That shadowy Lulzkiller that Fox News is defending, is not a good person.)

Gone is constructive criticism! Now, tartlets are free to swipe art and ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL, as well as draw lopsided boobs and do other visual atrocities because no one will speak up to tell them how much their shit stinks. Once again, the same with John Solomon's death. No one will give satirical reviews of bad artists to shame and deflate their unwarrented self importance of their inflated egos while feeding the masses with fresh, unadulterated LULZ in the process.

Gone are the copypasta and creepypastas. Now, I can no longer read myself some funny/scary stories to bed anymore.

Gone is the insightful documents of successful raids on places like Gamestop and Habbo and organizations like the Patriotic Nigras and the GNAA. Important troll history is lost!

Gone is "The Comprehensive Guide To Life". Not only is that amazing article gone, but so is the many tidbits of helpful info. ED may have been dedicated to making fun of us and everyone else, but between the lines there was important cautionary tips we could take so that we don't end up like most of the assholes documented on it. We could take such advice on how to live our lives so that we adjust ourselves to society like any evolutionary organism. Our document on Chris Chan alone helps people lose weight, get a job, read books, and become independent. One step at a time, we could improve the outlook of humanity, if only we have some shame, and humility, the ability to recognize our flaws.

Gone is the fight for the LULZ. LULZ, the only thing in this world worth fighting for! A huge swarm of faggoty FRUNZ is upon us! They say "there's no humor in heaven" but who's to say that heaven is actually a state of denial in regards to society's problems.

Gone. Gone. Gone

To see one the greatest websites and purveyors of free speech, be deleted and replaced with some corporate sell out like Embaumsworld, catering to the lowest common denominator by showcasing material they didn't create and inputting nothing of their own. At least ED would tell you about the places the where content came from, rather than just being a circus. It makes me sick to my stomach!

But it's okay now, because we now have...

Encyclopediadramatica.ch (NSFW, but you guys already should know that by now.)

We Trolls, are the lifeblood of the internet, whether you like it or not! Our society and our way of life may be frowned upon, but we are that "necessary evil" that holds the bridges of society together. We have been always lurking in the shadows, watching over all of you. Think of us as the Dark Templars in your Protoss society. Without our blades, you cannot hope to destroy the cerebrates of swarming ANTI-LULZ Zergs.

BTW, help us out if you can. When Lulzkilling, femiNAZI, Anti-lulz terrorist turncoat, Girlvynl aka Sherrod De HIPPO betrayed us, and deleted all our archives, we lost a lot of pictures documenting valuable history of LULZ. The text was retrieved alright though. So help a fellow wiki out, we need you! If you have some of the pictures that were deleted, please upload them. Much lulz.

So, who wants to take charge of changing all the old links?

I'm still a little confused. Why should I support this?

What the fuck is this nonsense?

Jesus, ED's downfall really seems to screw up the brains of E Ders even more before.

It's "E Diots", not "E Ders".

Learn2terminology and lurkmoar plzkthx.

Yeah right, as if I give a shit what they call themselves.

this is better

I understand some of the constructive criticisms and the catalog of infamy, but ED was just... too extreme. If this new site can actually have well-written articles that explain why a work/person is bad rather than just saying "LOL Chris-chan is a fagut" *

Much as the cult of hatred CWC has accrued weirds me out, I think that restricting criticism to 'stuff he won't have a hissy fit about' may result in rather excessive criticism cutbacks. As in, an article consisting entirely of the ten words 'Christian Weston Chandler is a person who writes a comic'. Which he would then proceed to have a hissy fit about.

It is pretty extreme though. I've read multiple articles that gave me no idea how the target came to ED's attention, or did anything wrong, because all of that information is buried beneath mountains of verbal diarrhea calling Generic Internet Dweller #5438957438574 an Aspie Faggot Jew Bitch.

This discussion is pointless - there is nothing ED can do that will suddenly make it worth the server space it occupies.

I enjoy Encyclopedia Dramatica.

I can't tell how serious the OP is.

ED was exactly the kind of thing that it was supposedly designed to combat; perverted and self-absorbed, bloated under the weight of its own paradigm. It grew old, decayed and died, just like anything else on the Internet that refuses to adapt to changing times.

Perhaps, if OI gets half a chance, it can be a brighter future, what ED could have become.

Precisely. Take Ryal's re-edit of the article on This Very Wiki: Basically an endless parade of ban-hammer butt-hurt over everyone and their mother, none of whom are the least bit relevant to true internet drama or even of amusement to any but the most petty and troll-worthy themselves.

Honestly. Dramatica had its time, and it wasted it.

True, but deleting all the archives and replacing it with a different website without consulting other users and admins is a really dumb and pointless move.

Actually, I enjoyed ED too. I had learned to expect of it to insult me, everything I care about, and everything I don't care about.

Let's say ED went for a new beginning and I thought it was fun while it lasted. Other internet phenomena on the other hand have clearly overstayed their welcome, at least in my humble opinion.

JMH: A few tropers cleaned it up so there's less butthurt about who Ryal got picked on by, so it got passable. Still not enough troll material, though.

Ignore this; I'm trying to find the delete post button.
