wtf is this shit?

Sam Hyde All I see on front page now is stale white nationalist memes, "chimpout" "cuck" Has Encyclopedia Dramatica finally become StormFront wiki? This makes me less interested in continuing to visit here.  — Preceding comment added by Asood (talk • contribs), who is too much of a fucking retard to sign their own posts.

Tell ya what, friend, if you change our zeitgeist, we'll change our front page. Is it a deal? —  VX  23:59, 2 August 2016 (EDT)

Asood, if you don't the direction we're going in, you can kindly fuck off. You won't be missed. AlGore 00:56, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

It's a user-generated website, how about writing something that interests you. --Mantequilla (talk) 05:42, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

Also, Same Hyde is a youtuber whom CNN called a mass shooter because of 4chan. Is that not worthy of a single paragraph article? Seems to me to be exactly what ED was made for. --Mantequilla (talk) 05:53, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

Also, write something totally contrary to what you don't like, and if it's funny, I'll make that the main article. - Zew0 14:41, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

We literally don't discriminate here. Write what you like and, if it's good, it'll go on the main page. - Zew0 14:43, 3 August 2016 (EDT)

Youtube Embed do not Work

Is anyone else having this problem. Youtube embed load as a small rectangular bar and do not play. It has happened on multiple computers for me. Uberfukken 00:06, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

I was the first to notice. It got tweeted out by our official account. YouTube changed their API which fucked up some stuff in general, we'll be moving to html5 soon which should fix it. (talk) 01:00, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

Yup! We will be adding this in a little bit, which has HTML5 support. If anyone can find a better extension before it is added please list it. --Mantequilla (talk) 12:04, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

This won't affect the youtube template right in terms of having to re-edit thousands of embeds here? (talk) 12:14, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

• it seems to work for that shaman (Coleman), but i've seen a liveleak (i think) embed that had that short rectangle. -hipcrime 12:41, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

I was wondering why Kittens' sounds werent working. AlGore 08:22, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Rename Television portal

Well, the name hardly no longer applies. First of, while movies can be shown on TV, it is not what I think of when I heard "movie". Streaming has made old-school tv superfluous. So perhaps it could be renamed for something more relevant. And if the name could imply western releases only, so that animu releases could fuck off into the animu portal, that would be great. The only names I can come up with is akin to video media or media. And those just suck. CobaltCat 16:09, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

Seconded. My vote is for Media portal. Why wants to take on the arduous task of doing it without fucking everything up? --Mantequilla (talk) 12:02, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

media, jew media or hollywood all would be good picks imo. thirding media because i am a conformist now. :) -hipcrime 12:39, 14 August 2016 (EDT)

youtube/html5

i've upgraded the youtube extension which supports html5 video. report any issues here and i'll have a look. worst case scenario i'll rollback the extension. ^reply 11:31, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

• The new vidya resolution looks great. • Krade 21:14, 23 August 2016 (EDT)

Nice. --JuniusThaddeus 09:03, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

ok this can be fixed so i'll do that later. if anything else is broke lmk plz. ^reply 14:24, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

Fixed. uber noticed that someone fucked up videoframe. ^reply 21:01, 23 August 2016 (EDT)

captcha

new accounts can edit pages without answering a captcha, it is still required to create an account. this will improve user retention. ^reply 12:00, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

What changed?

VX allegedly added a sitenotice simultaneously to a Chinese DDoS attack that prevented editing. Luckily the freedom fighters have liberated our site here. What upgrades came with that? Mike the Great (talk) 04:31, 10 September 2016 (EDT)

Communism, mostly. The rest is yet to come. —  VX  10:45, 10 September 2016 (EDT)

updates/transparency etc

Shit is sucking more than we expected it would. It is going to take longer than expected and we shouldn't have even started doing it in the first place lol. We're doing a backup right now and then we are going to work on fixing the image uploader and then work on finishing the upgrade. whether that means actually upgrading this install or importing all the images and pages into a brand new install of mediawiki we still don't know.--Mantequilla (talk) 02:59, 16 September 2016 (EDT)

• I am disappoint. • Krade 14:30, 18 September 2016 (EDT)

Ur not the only one. Then yesterday the ssd and hdd for the raid needed to be changed which took like all fucking day. Hopefully we get the image uploader fixed soon, that is really fucking important. --Mantequilla (talk) 18:18, 18 September 2016 (EDT)

It's after midnight where he is tho so I don't see it being fixed today. I'm sorry, I know this sucks. I have a bunch of rare pepes to upload. --Mantequilla (talk)

When will uploads be fixed? I have a fuckton of autism and nigger images that need uploading. — GirlOnInternet 19:58, 20 September 2016 (EDT)

We have lasers to be fired when shits fixed. Good luck on the upgrades ~ (Al Gore) 16:05, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

Today hopefully. --Mantequilla (talk)

Godspeed then, dude. ~ (Al Gore) 16:08, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

• Looks like its fixed now. • Krade 22:10, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

Yes it is fixed. --Mantequilla (talk)

Users are welcomed with great sincerity to resume polluting ED's drives in all haste. —  VX  22:21, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

• Looks like it's still having random times when images don't upload. — GirlOnInternet 22:56, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

I'm still unable to upload anything. ~ (Al Gore) 01:59, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

It seems like you have to spam the fuck out of the reload button before they'll go through sometimes. — GirlOnInternet 02:30, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

• The problem isn't completely fixed; uploading multiple images doesn't seem to work, and I occasionally get: "500 Internal Server Error nginx" after making several upload attempts. • Krade 20:42, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

• Nevermind, I only had that problem with one .gif image I tried to upload... • Krade 19:00, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

now seeking editor applicants

are someone who writes good articles or someone who spams recent changes with a bunch of pointless autistic edits? do you know someone who does? let us know because we're looking for new editors. ^reply 23:29, 21 September 2016 (EDT)

User:Duranduran - I can fully vouch for this guy.

User:Midnight's Reich - Some random dude; EDITOR - IF he works more often

anyone know how to edit this

Anyone know how to make this page say "please type what you see in the box below" instead of "please type the two words you see in the box below"? --Mantequilla (talk) 01:52, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Done. — GirlOnInternet 02:09, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Thanks bruh --Mantequilla (talk)

we have a gnusocial install

That you could probably use to collaborate on the wiki or just stay in touch with ed ppl in a twitter like environment. We are just playing with it but https://dramati.ca is the url feel free to sign up. --Mantequilla (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Be sure to use HTTPS. The software hates clear text. —  VX  14:15, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

• Signed up... curious to see what it's about. • Krade 18:25, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Making rash decisions, I suppose. It's what I'm about to do to the sitenotice. —  VX  20:29, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Random links redirecting to other websites

Don't know if this is a new feature gone wrong or something, but every few internal links I click on the site open new tabs redirecting me to other websites such as this one. Actually as I write this it keeps trying to redirect me randomly when I click anywhere on the page. Talk 14:12, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

A necessary evil that pays the bills. It shouldn't persist throughout a session, however. —  VX  14:18, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

It's definitely happening about every 3-5 clicks, and making the site pretty much unusable at the moment. Talk 14:19, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Every time I click a link or click the screen at all I'm getting redirects. - (Al Gore) 14:23, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

SORRY!!!!!! I was trying a new ad company but obviously they are way too intrusive and I have severed our business relationship. --Mantequilla (talk)

You gotta pay the bills somehow, dude - (Al Gore) 14:32, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Ya that was too much tho. There's gotta be a balance, somehow. --Mantequilla (talk)

Shitlisted

The following articles have left one or more admins gape jawed and/or trembling with rage.

• PinkPrincessSunlight
• Inesthelostangel

Sysops are encouraged to vote, keep or delete. —  VX  06:04, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

They have actually brought a decent set of views. Inesthelostangel has almost 100 a day, whereas Pink has nearly 130 a day. So I vote keep, but be fixed. And I call not it. CobaltCat 06:22, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

Keep, clean the fuck up. not it. - (Al Gore) 06:54, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

Are we certain that those views don't count robots? More than 60 can be active at a time. —  VX  07:16, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

Keep the former after some cleanup maybe formatting etc. Do what you want with the latter. (talk) 08:50, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

Both seem to have potential, but both look like they were written by 14-year-old autists. I went ahead and cleaned up the series templates and images on both of them to make both of them presentable, but they still need a lot of work - especially that first one. — GirlOnInternet 12:16, 25 September 2016 (EDT)

• What exactly is the problem with the articles? --Mantequilla (talk)

I don't see how either of these articles warrant deletion. Uberfukken 09:56, 26 September 2016 (EDT)

They were listed because I have seen sysops bitching and moaning about deletion on their talk pages. —  VX  21:28, 28 September 2016 (EDT)

Gotcha, just leave em --Mantequilla (talk)
