ED20

On December 10th of 2024, your favorite wiki is turning TWENTY! Soon you'll be a real man son :')

To mark this momentous occasion let us dive into the past and resurface with fantastic tales and reminiscing.
Since this is ED's 20th birthday party we won't bother singing faggy kiddie songs - because this year we're going to GET WASTED (on lulzy drama of course).

Will there be cake? Of course there will be cake. Hope you're not allergic to fat nuts.

Re-Birth

Even Anita joins the festivities

On April 15th, 2011, Operation Restoration became quite possibly the only worthwhile thing shat out of the bowels of AnonOps, a (now defunct) script kiddie enabling IRC network. The idea was to restore Encyclopedia Dramatica after the domain encyclopediadramatica.com was redirected to the criminally shitty and horrendously unfunny Know Your Meme rip off, Ohinternet (OhInternet closed down a few years later). The project quickly began the night ED.com went down with sister sites encyclopediadramatica.ch and Lurkmoarpedia scraping articles from Google cache, Wayback Machine, etc. Ultimately, ED.ch proved to be more popular due to support from AnonOps, and Lurkmoarpedia was left in the dust.

Like all previous operations lead by Anon, #OpSaveED was a warzone between trolls, script kiddies, and people who were serious about restoring ED and all its glory. Many a script kiddie was determined to LOIC OhInternet out of existence, despite being told not to by everyone with half a brain cell. In order to stop said skiddie rampages, "ddos" and several other related words were blacklisted in #OpSaveED.

	“	<@killhamster> yes <@killhamster> it is mature to try to destroy our website <@killhamster> very much so	„
	—Killhamster - master of irony, Oh you mean like you destroyed our website?

Thanks to some dedicated folks over at #OpSaveED, ED was successful in returning the lulz to those who came here to seek them. Articles were restored (as well as some that Girlvinyl removed out of fear that someone would say something.

ED's Long And Winding Road

Post-rebirth, ED has had several domain name changes and multiple head-admins take the reigns in order to keep our site/community going on and on and on. Lots of drama regarding being online and offline. But who are these various turnover-hosts/head-admins?

• Zaiger
• Aediot
• GOI (ED's current head-admin.)
• And a fuckton of others..

Who is the mysterious masked man behind this site's very existence? What does ED's own AE-tan say to this tumultus lifecycle of our deviant community?? When asked she simply repled... "In Lulz We Trust, by any means!" And the shitshow goes on...

LOOK IT'S SOME FUCKING CAKE

Happy 20th Birthday ED!
