Encyclopedia Dramatica is near death...
... and needs your moneys.

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/donate.html

We hate to interrupt your lol times, but we need a little bit of help. You see, lately Encyclopedia Dramatica has fallen upon some hard times. The costs to maintain the site have gone up considerably and advertising revenue is way down. Bandwidth and new hardware need to be purchased and we need your help to make these purchases. We here at encyclopedia dramatica enjoy the offbeat humor as much as you do, but we also enjoy supporting a platform that allows people to speak their minds freely. Don't you think that it is time to give back to ED? A small donation can go a long way. We will return the site back to its normal state in less than 24 hours, but without enough help we will be shutting it down.


Ded from lulz?

Maybe they should ask the EFF to chip in.

All credit card transactions are handled by a third party. Encyclopedia Dramatica never sees any of your financial information.

I love that they have to say that.

This very well might not be real, and even if it is, it's likely that there are enough people willing to fork over the cash. But I can hope, you know? I can hope the ED crashes and burns.

My heart is breaking. It opens like a music box. A little man is standing inside, and he is playing a very tiny violin as he rotates. The violin is 10µm long.

I wish there were a way to send them negative amounts of money, to speed up the death.

DO let the door hit you on the ass on your way out of the intarwebs, ED. Good riddance.

How much would it cost to run a website like that a month? Because it says it's 5,000-something away from their goal. How much money are they asking for?

I really have no idea about these sort of things.

They're using all the Times-generated traffic to beef up their usual on-going donation drive.

What [info]moonjaguar said -- they've had the donate page up for at least 2-3 years, as far as I can recall. Servers cost money, especially servers that host a fantastically large collection of images you never never ever want to see ever again.
