ED Goes Down, Permanently. An ensuing shitstorm also goes down.
This is slightly old news, but I don't see it having been posted anywhere, so I'm going to go ahead. I hope ED counts as fandom - it did not seem to be in line with the usual topics of Unfunny Business. I'll be happy to move it if this proves not to be the case.
So, it seems that Encyclopedia Dramatica, unofficial wiki of 4chan, has disappeared. It now redirects to OhInternet, a sanitized version of ED (which seems a bit like having a cleaned-up pile of shit.)
Says Geeko System:
Last night, visitors to Dramatica’s home page found themselves automatically redirected to a new site called OhInternet which appeared to have more in common with the new, slicker generation of Internet culture trackers than with the unvarnished, offensive Dramatica of old. Some fans of Dramatica wondered if this was an elaborate troll or an April Fool’s joke; visiting Dramatica’s old IP address, 208.99.87.133, gave a message that was interpreted by some to mean that Dramatica was only temporarily offline. But the redirect is permanent, Encyclopedia Dramatica founder and current OhInternet primary contributor Sherrod DeGrippo told me by email, and OhInternet is here to stay.
Encyclopedia Dramatica is no more.
EDIT: Warning for sexist, racist, NSFW language, graphic threats, privilege, misogyny . . . you know what, if there is any type of offensive text that you do not wish to read, I suggest you not visit this article. There's . . . there's something for everyone, there really is.
The comments, however, are where the real wank begins.
encyclopedia dramatica was awesome dude, it wasn´t racist, it was satirical, they even made fun of americans and europeans so shut the fuck up.
now it's just a stupid website for stupid people
Because anything that makes fun of Americans and Europeans is above reproach. Even if they also say things like "MTF transsexuals should be euthanized as quickly as possible."
Ank200: So you not only got rid of all the good content you had, but also sold it for very little money? Sucks to be you.
Jordan: I saw content on ED, but I can't say I ever saw good content.
XD
Anonymous: Funny how the majority of likes are not on your comment but on the people hating what you have done. I hope the new site does so, so well, retard.
. . . because quality by popularity is what ED was all about?
Void: Exactly what I'm thinking. Encyclopedia dramatica, 4chan, anonymous, and everything else dealing with the internet hate machine as a whole were founded on the basis of NO INTERNET CENSORSHIP. Now Sherrod's talking about making this into some new "toned-down" fucking piece of shit website, which is the entire goddamn opposite of what it was supposed to be from the beginning? I don't know about everyone else, but I think Sherrod is a 100% pure grade A selllout worthless sack of horse shit, and should be treated as such.
In reply, some fail from the other side:
Anon: "bawwww" indeed.
I don't think I've seen a bigger bunch of hemorrhaging vajinas anywhere else. Y'know... you have to admit, the reaction to ONE WEBSITE closing is damned funnier than anything you could find amongst the "hate machine", or ED while it was still functioning.
Is "vagina" really that hard to spell? Really?
Downwithohinterfail: (to, apparently, one of the owners of OhInternet) Then you are a fucking cuntfaced traitor and deserve to die by choking on your own cock after it is cut off with a rusty spoon and shoved into our throat you piece of fucking shit. This new site is going to be taken down. So help me If it takes months. The new piece of festering shit site deserves to be DoS'd to death. FUCK you, you smug piece of shit. You are the reason for hipsters and 14 year olds encroaching on what was once an original place and mainstreaming it.
. . . *backs away*
Guest: (also to the same user, Killhamster) When did you become a defender of faggotry hamster?
Anonymous: Do you guys really think that despite the fact that ED is down that it's gone for good? Does anyone here *really* expect Anonymous to just sit by and do nothing? To say this is a good thing worries me. I don't agree with some of the content that ED showed. I don't agree with some of the slurs and hateful articles, but to say this is a good thing shows just how much of a sheep one can be. It also shows just how little one cares for freedom of speech. Next thing you know, we're going to be China. I suppose however, as long as people aren't "offended", they're not going to mind and that's a very sad thing. "As long as I can't see the cops beating my neighbor for speaking out, it don't matter because I'm not offended, because I can't see it." If the ones who ran ED think this is over. They really not only are blind and stupid, but they're fooling themselves. If Anonymous would hack a website belonging to an internet security firm which helps the FBI... what makes these people think Anonymous won't fuck with them? I look forward to reading about how much hell Anonymous introduces these sell-outs to.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
Lolnou: The fun part about this is that 99.99999999% of all the anon treats are nothing but shit 12 years old newfags love to spew. Sherrod may be a whore, but if she endured years of legal threats and stuff from all the people who hated ED, do you seriously think she is even worried about you?
Sorry bro, but as a fellow Anon I can tell you are so full of shit it makes me feel bad. Sadly, the real deal Anons who could actually do something don't give a shit about this. Worse I can see coming is a DOS attack. And ED endured these for years.
N***rcockswithwarts: ED wasn't intended for people like you.
OhInternet is.
That's right, guys. It isn't for you.
There's more to to that comment, but I do not think it should be reproduced in polite company. Or in F_W company, either.
There are a bunch of people complaining that this change is ROBBING THEM OF THEIR HARD WORK/FREE SPEECH/KILLING THE INTERNET:
Guest: . . . a ton of people donated money and bought shit to keep ED up and running. Sherrod robbed anyone who ever donated to the site, especially those who donated recently because they weren't warned of the change. I know she's a troll, but if she was totally devoted to this shitty waste of space and its new principals of niceness and family friendly horseshit she wouldn't have robbed a bunch of people.
Fuck her.
Gonzobot: Bullshit. You're a liar, and a sellout, and you knows it. I hope you're satisfied with your compliance. ED *was* the Internet. This new thing is just a whitewashed, sanitized, don't-sue-me vilification of everything ED stood for - truth, funny, and Internet. When you censor things you consider to be untrue, you don't have truth anymore. When you take away the site that your users created, you don't have funny anymore. And when you alienate your entire userbase, you don't have Internet anymore.
Good Riddance ED: Oh, boo hoo hoo. All those bigoted, and/or sociopathic, and/or mommy's-basement-dwelling losers, deprived of their sacred gathering ground. Won't somebody help?
Or, y'know, they could get lives...
Plumdaddy: The old get a life insult. As incisive and hurtful as it is original. Way to cut to the core of the issue, you boorish thug.
Plumdaddy knows what irony is. It's like brassy, or coppery, except with iron instead.
. . . and I'm going to stop there. There are probably many horrible little corners I've left unplumbed, and I didn't even quote from more than one site.
