Encyclopedia Dramatica:Article of the Now/December 9, 2014

Encyclopædia Dramatica

Encyclopædia Dramatica is a central catalog for organized reference pages about drama, memes, e-pals, and other interesting happenings on the internets. ED is also the final arbiter of truth and human destiny, and can be used to settle any dispute, anywhere, evar.

First created in 2004, Encyclopedia Dramatica was killed for at least 100 minutes in April of 2011. Not to be stopped by the enemies of the lulz, it was re-created on April 15th, 2011, while Girlvinyl was impatiently awaiting the delivery of her Jewgold from her failed abortion known as OhInternet.

Towards the end, Sherrod had decided that "ironic" humor was in, and actual lulz meant nothing. Then she decided to fuck it altogether, and made a site where the people of the internet who weren't interested in seeing shock images could look up information about memes from across the internet, because obviously, no-one has ever done that before.

In a last ditch effort to save ED, a plan was hatched: save the idea of a snarky internet clubhouse and throw out the excessive content. Understandably, trashing the work done by countless anons sparked a rage not matched even by over 9,000 to the power of 9,000 bees.

And now, after many lolsuits, domain seizures, and money-grubbing fundraisers, here we are going 10 years strong, because a gem like this just can't disappear, and won't.
