Encyclopedia Dramatica:IRC

ED IRC like many other internet treeforts out there have long standing traditions of elitism and ineptitude. #ED is no exception. So if you were directed to this page, you were misdirected.

The kids lucky enough to sit at the cool table that is #ED want you to think that this is where our best laid plans (of revenge against this site's previous figure head) and internet hob nobbing go on. What is a more accurate portrayal of the goings on of #ED are Brown nosing to sysops and petty flame wars. It's mostly hard gay.

Topics For Discussion

While on ED IRC, pay attention to the channel's topic. The topic should appear to you when you first open the channel up or in your IRC client's status bar. Usually, the topic of the channel is very pertinent to what is going on at that particular moment at Encyclopedia Dramatica and can often be very insightful to the conversation that you are about to enter. Topics range from very funny items found on the internet all the way to how to get help with some code on an article. Typical topics you will find:

Drugs
Jews
Drugs and Jews
Winning quotes
Finding true love
Quitting IRC
Being made fun of for your hairstyle

Rules of #ed

Don't beg for privileges (OPs or voice).
Wiki related matters come first, if some one is being helped for wiki issues, shut up if you have nothing to contribute. (same applies on #wiki)
Praise BASEDGOD every day

mIRC Encyclopedia Dramatica Search Script

If you use mIRC for your IRC client - and about 99% of the internet does - this little snippet of code can be a very valuable tool for your IRC experience and can also be a very fun part of learning some coding for the program, if you are into that stuff.

Open mIRC's script editor and click on the "Remotes" tab.
Make a new mIRC remote by clicking on "File" and then "New." You should be presented with a blank text area to edit in.
Paste this line in the new remote:
alias end { if ($1) { url $+(http://encyclopediadramatica.online/Special:Search?search=,$1-) } }
Save that Remote as whatever you want, but make sure it ends in .mrc also make sure it is someplace in your mIRC folder.
Load the remote by clicking on "file" again and then "load." Find your recently saved .mrc file and click that. The ED search script is now loaded.
To use, type /end (your search terms) in any mIRC channel or status window you have. The script will locate your search query and open the page in your default browser.

Example: /end Kittens will take you to this page

Yet Another Encyclopedia Dramatica Script For mIRC

This script searches encyclopediadramatica.se for your search item. If no search word is given, it will give results from a random word.

Syntax for the script is !dramatica search word(s) or just plain !dramatica for random.

There is a ! trigger that will notice the user and a @ trigger that will message the channel if the user has halfops or higher.
